They are preparing for ten times as many i.e. 2 million people to attend the historic inauguration of Obama, and the bulk of the $150 million is for security. |
You seem to be hung up on this inauguration story...the point that was being made was about how the media has sold out to President Obama in every way and we have thus lost what is supposed to be the group that keeps everyone honest.
It was not all about the inauguration cost, but that story is indicative. Most of the cost of Bush's inauguration was paid by private gifts as I recall !
But, again the point is that the media is totally bias at this point. Will never forget the day or so after the election, hearing Chris Mathews say he had an obligation to see "this guy" suceed as if this "obligation" did not exist for any past presidents !!!
