This is impossible because it is reputed to have cost $600,000,000.00+.

“600 million dollars and I still can’t log on!”

There's an old political joke told around Boston that explains why $600,000,000.

It seems the town had decided to erect a statue to some bigwig and the job had been sent out for bids. Three bids had been submitted. Charlie Flaherty submitted one for $1000. Tom Finnerty had submitted one for $2000. And Billy Bulger submitted one for $3000.

The Town Council calls in the bidders to interview them. "Charlie, how did you arrive at your bid?" Charlie says "I've done such jobs before and I know the costs."

"Tom. And you?" Tom says "It's a complicated job and I wanted to leave room for allowances."

"And you, Billy? How did you get such a high figure?"

"Well, I figured $1000 for you, $1000 for me, and I'd have Charlie here build the statue."

Billy got the job.

$200 million for you, $200 million for me, and we'll let the low bidder build it. Not bad graft.

Maybe $90,000 to the website and $600,000,000 to Obama pet projects.
