I didn’t think the MSM would ever run a story about how much the upcoming inauguration is costing the taxpayers in this shaky economy. But they did.
The price tag for President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration gala is expected to break records, with some estimates reaching as high as $150 million.
If this were Bush spending $150 million on an inauguration in a time of war with the stock market down, unemployment up, and and a recession underway, the MSM would be putting out stories daily, maybe even hourly, about what a waste of money it was, and wondering how many poor people could have been fed with that $150 million.
But instead, we get concerts by U2, Springsteen, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, etc. This sentence seems to sum it up:
Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun.
Oh, the hypocrisy.
