"We don't want to know where he stands on any subject, I just wanna know what he's gonna name his dog!"....no wonder he won, people really need to force their children to read or do something constructive instead of letting them play video games all day. Maybe then we'd have some educated youth that could make educated decisions instead of regurgitating the phrases "Change" and "Yes We Can!" over and over without the knowledge of his political stances. Its sad really.
video games dont have shit to do with it, if you ever played metal gear solid 1 or 2 its the most educational game ever all the facts of that game are real and to this day they has been placed as 2 of the 3 most popular games ever and also drew in the most amount of money in sales, all behind final fantasy 7
people are dumb because they are dumb not cause of playstation
Yeahhhh, you guys just so you know generally when people talk about the inauguration costs, they practically never add in the security, health and safety costs.
Bushs $40m inauguration does not factor in this security health and safety.
Something like 75m alone went to the extra policing and health and safefty necessary to protect the PEOPLE (three times the population of DC packed into one place) who came to view the event.
We haven't even GOT to special service protection yet.
You think it isn't obvious there was gonna be a LOT more protection out there than usual this time?
So when it all comes down to it, and we actually price Obamas inauguration the same way it has been done for decades do you know how much it comes to for the actualy price of the party itself?
About $40-45m.
It would help to do some research before you start getting all in a tizz about things.
If we were to add all those uncalculated extra costs from security, health and safety onto Bushs inauguration costs (about 115 million dollars), guess how much it comes upto?
$157 million
I don't know maybe Obama really is special that they decided to calculate his costs differently than any other presidents before him? I don't know.
So there you go.
He hasn't actually spent five times more than any other president, unless you're not counting properly :D
Our US national budget deficit increases by $3.41 billion per day (google: budget deficit clock), more than 22 times what the inauguration cost. You could have a $150 million Presidential Inauguration nearly every hour of every day for the same cost as our daily increasing debt. So don't sweat one every four years.
My question to Obama would be ... why have you never produced a valid birth certificate?? If he ever does have to, and cannot, then the $150+ million dollars spent on this event will be money thrown out the window, but what's new in America??
