"How many people could that feed?"

Bah, that wouldn't even come close to bailing out a failing bank these days. Small change.

Of course I recall how the left was bitching to high heaven about how much Bush's inaugural cost after the 2004 election....

But Joe Biden says that global warming is a serious national security threat. So we're fighting Jihadis and slipping into a depression and Biden is worried about an unproven theory about long term climate change when we can't even predict tomorrow's weather with the absolute certainty of global warming activists.

“Oh, I hope the weather is frightful
It’ll make me feel so delightful
Though I wish no woe for the Bro
Let it snow, let it snow, REALLY snow”

LOL! Will have to check out the forecast. Hope your incantation here works.

This Marxist is even more of a Narcissist than the Rapist is!

You know the whole Denver thing was over the top...

The Hawaii vacation trip while the nation struggled was inappropriate

And now this inauguration thing with the money being spent, movie theater tickets to see it broadcast live on the big screen, the T-shirts, coffee mugs, plates, collectors coins etc.

Can I honestly admit I am sickened by all this. For all their yelling and shouting about consumerism, materialism, etc. LOOK AT WHAT YOURSELVES ARE DOING, CREATING! A few weeks ago you(libs)were pitching a fit over the cost of the china Laura Bush was leaving for the Whitehouse(all came through private funds!

I got to thinking about this yesterday. Where is the humbleness that a servant of the people should have? As much as some have grown to dislike Bush, he at least seemed to remain humble. This is a highly dangerous character flaw 0bama seems to be missing and is indicative of a well entrenched narcissistic personality disorder.

Read up on NPD. Some of them are highly successful people, but it is tragic that 0bama or anyone from his office is not and did not attempt to temper this event. This is setting up the entire nation for a huge let down. And I can't help but wonder what this is doing to 0bama’s psyche and the magnitude of this set-up.

I wonder what the odds of a terrorist NBC attack on that day are?

This train wreck belongs to those voters and nonvoters, as much as it does Obama mindless worshipers.

Fear, pragmatism and doubt got us McCain, the train wreck I regretfully supported and voted for. Just like the train wreck Arnold I regretfully voted for after the pragmatists said McClintock can't win. God bless people who vote their conscience.

I'm through with party loyalty; the republican party has been a disgrace since Reagan. I will vote my conscience. Anyone wants my vote, that person better be demonstrably conservative and be able to articulate conservatism.

Like most of the Megalomaniac marxist leaders since they were/are always trying to take GOD’s(Jesus Christ)place...

But as the old marxists pretended to fight and cancel GOD from society now they are trying to make people believe that they are the new Messiah/Leaders of the new “religion” with its PC dogma(environmentalism,multiculturalism,relativism,collectivism...)and its Big(totalitarian)Government/Church....

Same old totalitarianism in new clothes

If he was truly a man of the people he would provide health insurance to the millions he claims have none and leave the rest of us alone.

A blatant double standard and poor example of belt tightening. The historic significance does not escape me....it’s the lack of humility I find revolting.

Forecast for Tuesday: 34 degrees, partly cloudy. There’s a 50% chance of snow on Sunday and Monday—the question is if crews can clear it all.

And then Obama said, “Build for me a beautiful temple”.
