Obamessiah's Swearing-in to be most expensive in US History

Seriously. Here's the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1115942/Bush-declares-state-emergency-Washington-cost-Obamas-swearing-ceremony-soars-110m.html

Again, this is a UK publication, because the US media won't pick it up. How dare they question or complain about "the one." He's the Obamessiah, dammit!

"Barack Obama's inauguration is set to cost more than £100m making it the most expensive swearing-in ceremony in US history."

But let's go back to 2005 when this happened:

"Four years ago, the Associated Press and others in the press suggested it was in poor taste for Republicans to spend $40 million on President Bush’s inauguration. AP writer Will Lester calculated the impact that kind of money would have on armoring Humvees in Iraq, helping victims of the tsunami, or paying down the deficit. Lester thought the party should be cancelled: “The questions have come from Bush supporters and opponents: Do we need to spend this money on what seems so extravagant?” " (emphasis theirs) The link: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/rich-noyes/2009/01/14/ap-slammed-bush-s-extravagant-inaugural-05-now-it-s-spend-baby-spend

You gotta love the title: "AP Slammed Bush's 'Extravagant' Inaugural in '05, But Now It's Spend, Baby, Spend."

Just remember, there's no double-standard here. He's the Obamessiah! He's "the one!" How long until my sister or other lefties scream RAAAACIST!!!

For pointing out facts? That's racist? In US dollars, the £100m comes out to about $45m. Remember when the lefties were outraged about President Bush's $40m bill? And of course, that is too much.

Yet the Obamessiah is going to be spending more than that ... and not one mainstream American "news" source will pick it up. They're too busy congratulating themselves that they got him elected.

Do you still think there's no double-standard? And for those who are saying "Yes there is but ..." no buts.

It's past time to do something about it.
