How much is this inauguration costing?
In 2004, the Leftists at Salon and in the print MSM decried the Bush administration spending so much money (even privately raised funds) on an inuaguration when we have troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan and people who’ve lost homes through natural disaster and people out of work etc etc...
Seems to me that if HBO is paying big bucks for BHO’s inauguration, then the expenses for the inauguration might be offset. I have to wonder, though, why wouldn’t this event, given its importance, be simulcast to all TV sets, digital, analog, cable, satellite, or otherwise? This seems to be playing into more of a Hollywood-type event, rather than a constitutional event.
