If you still think the federal goverment gives a crap about you, your in denial about the times we live in. We live in a time where the mindset is an indivisualist mindset, give me MINE,I deserve it,what about ME. Then everyone of you waste the the same money as the federal goverment everytime you run to Wal-Mart and throw your money to China. Want to show economic patriotism? Stop shopping at Wal-MART, thats a good American economic start.

Are you suggesting that there's a liberal media bias I'm shocked.

Newsrooms report the news to please the general audience. It's always been this way, with any subject matter.

Whose to fault?

Putting things in context has always been a challenge for you and Fox Noise (your news source). If you bothered to fact check you would find that your numbers and comparisons are flawed. Obama's actual Inauguration costs comparing apples to apples was about 46mm to Bush 43mm. Your Bush number does not include sucurity costs for Bush, your number for Obama does include security costs. Nice try. Intellectually honest you ain't.

anonymous 1:20, whatever you say. I'm sure since you come back here with no evidence of such, you must be right. Now who's drinking the Cool Aide.

Good!! Wish Obama spent more! Bush spends 42 mill and did NOTHING in 8 years!

Obama gets to take over for that troll and all the problems he's created.

The Bush administration spent $1,000,000,000 every sixty seconds.

This may be a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. We are in a recession. We just gave the banks money for a bail out. Why did citibank donate 8 million for this activity when they couldn't keep afloat? Why when the rest of the country is suffering is our president ordering a new cadillac limo, spending large amounts on a swaring in ceremony and balls? He said in his speech that these are rough times, rough for who? Certainly not him or his family, at least not financially. His is not one of the government jobs being cut. What the heck?
