Suddenly “government cheese” doesn’t seem like such a bad thing to have. I’ll happily sell Obama a pound of mozzarella for HALF that price! ;^)

Well isn’t Recovery.gov getting something like 18 million themselves for reconstruction of their website?

Don’t be ridiculous! (It was more like $85 million!)

The quantities contracted for each item (dumb waiter aside) would be helpful to understand how much per pound is being spent.

With Drudge having it up, lights on roaches scrambling. Even the dems will be ashamed to have this hung out in public.

Won’t take long the website will be down for $15mil maintenance.

So as we can see our tax money is obviously being handed out to friends of congress and Obama.

How quickly would a CEO be fired for mismanaging things this drastically? Oh wait, this is the government; it’s to be expected.

This country has gone stark, raving mad.

Government’s lunatic behaviors and power grabs - this is what our forefathers knew. They did their best to prevent it, but their legacy has been squandered.

I use to think $600 hammers was bad.

Oh and you can count on the media not to report this.

Is there any context to this? Is this what the White House spends, or what?

Oh-oh. Wait till they start in on the military. You know...the $2000 socket wrench. Or the ones that always get me barking mad .... $11.3 million to study migration habits of fruit flies.
