normiss 898 #4 January 4, 2009 Given the amount of money they spent on the campaign, the inauguration alone estimated at 60% more than the last one, they're already asking Congress for more money. I can't wait to see this administration save us money! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #5 January 4, 2009 Hm. Maybe if right-wing whack jobs hadn't spent the past year threatening Obama's life 'cause he's a semi-mojo whose name is Hussein, all the extra security wouldn't be needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #8 January 5, 2009 QuoteWhat a freakin waste of time and taxpayers money. Inaugural balls are almost exclusively funded by private donation. The inauguration itself is a mandated event. True it doesn't have to be quite the scope of what this one is, but the basic security would be the same regardless of who won. The only exception being the security to take care of the over flow crowds that will be attending this particular one due to its historical significance. I don't hold that against anyone. I just, as in a few hours ago, left DC. Preparations are well underway and this will be an amazing and historic event. I really don't care what side you voted for during the election, you probably should take the time to watch this one. Actual event takes place noon on the 20th. I highly recommend watching.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you define that as "Republicans", well, that's your definition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The increased security is necessitated by the increased security threat. The blame for the expense is on those posing the threat, not on the parties who are at risk or those charged with protecting them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
