yeah here's the deal

for the right wing rethuglican talking heads to decry obama's inauguration costs during a 'time of recession' and compare bush's second term gala with obama's first- apples and oranges. i am not a big fan of the hoopla, however, bush could have foregone a second inauguration extravaganza in 'a time of war' and what not- and he didn't. not to mention, that we have spent trillions of dollars on said war that was senseless to begin with and trillions more to bailout bush's cronies. a few million here and there for the spirit of change and the hope it's bringing to millions around the world- well, what's the difference at this point?
