MERCED, Calif. – The final price of the University of California, Merced's commencement ceremony featuring first lady Michelle Obama was more than $1 million — surpassing the original estimate tenfold.
Private contributions and interest on a private endowment fund have helped cover the cost. UC spokeswoman Patti Waid Istas said that nonstate dollars and other contributions will be used to cover the remaining balance of around $362,338.
The school had budgeted $100,000 for the May commencement ceremony. The price tag ended up being $1.04 million.

The Liberal 'elite' continue to show the world - at least when they are looking - that they are icompetent and irresponsibile; naive and more often, just plain fricken stupid. . .and worse 'indifferent' and so
arrogantwhen it comes to someone elses money.
Do believe these 'spoilers' should never be allowed near 'power'.

Just keep taking notes for 2010 and 2012 and then publicize all their dirt!

It just doesn’t matter, with the liberal crowd. They can do no wrong.
I don’t care how anybody here feels about Mitt.
Somebody tell me the last time Harry Reid got trashed for being a Mormon......

As more and more Americans are unemployed and worrying about feeding their families, they will most certainly care about the Fuhrer and his shrew spending taxpayer dollars like drunker sailers.
To: ExTexasRedhead
Yep. Caring and classy people Obambi and family are not.

I’m pretty sure that receipt was shown to be false during the campaign.
