Inaugural Debt

I don't want to take away from the historical value of today, that is not the point of this blog. I merely want to express my disgust for the United States, and especially the government.
I'm sorry, I do not see the logic in spending over 170 million dollars on this inauguration when we are in the middle of a recession. Where is the practicality in this?
Here is another issue I have with this; in the past when an inauguration has cost this much, it has been protested. Now, had this been a republican inauguration, you can bet your life, this obscene 170 million dollar expenditure would not go without remonstration.
Double Standard? I'd say so.

Having said that, this could be the US's greatest set up for failure... EVER... you can call me a cynic for hoping.

I just cant wait to get over the historic events and see what he can do. Drop the race card and roll your sleaves up. I think he can accomplish a lot of good things but im sick of hearing how historic today was. And if he really wanted it to be historic maybe he wouldnt have spent as much now that would be one for the history books.
