Tuesday:

Everything costs more since Bush has been in office. I wonder how much is security. Obama has a mess to clean up. He deserves a huge party. ;)


I know some of that was tongue in cheek, and you do empathize with what i am trying to point out...

But its really true, we like Obama so he gets a pass and we dont like Bush so he gets screwed... but in all truth and honesty, is that really what you want from your media outlets????

Czuch: what is it excatly that all the money is being spent on for the event?? I heard that is was more expensive then Bush's BUT I honestly didn't hear what they said after that,I was just passing through...is it security??? just bells and whistles?? or both?? I dont feel ANY president incoming deserves to have THAT much money spent on one event.
I also don't feel that every first lady should go through and COMPLETELY redecorate at the tax payers expense..thats just my opionion :)

anastasia: yes it isd more expensive than Bushs, by 4 times, hardly the cost of inflation or security, yes half is paid from private donations, but if this really is the start of a new day, why not just have an 80 million dollar ball and not use any tax payers money?

Czuch: Your post was almost a direct quote from The McCafferty File on CNN tonite.Do you consider CNN right wing?

Jim Dandy:

Well thanks for that blog, and it is nice to see... I dont know if that stuff made it to air or was just part of his blog..... the thing is, when it was Bush, it was the AP circulating this stuff...there is not one news room in the US (radio, tv, news paper etc) that does not subscribe to the AP news wires... not this time though, and to read some of the reader comments after the blog, it seems just the same ol same ol... if its Bush its bad, if its Obama its just money well spent on a mental health day required from the last 8 years!

Czuch: I saw him discuss,and make the same points on air at around 5pm est.I searched CNN to find the The McCafferty File section and he discusses it on his blog also

ABC has this report

Artful Dodger: and if they slobbered all over Bush you would be all in favor of them

anastasia:

and if they slobbered all over Bush you would be all in favor of them

I dont think that is the point...if they didnt care about one inauguration price tag, then no complaints on this one either.... its about them not being biased... if I am a reporter, and I didnt make any reports about Bush spending too much, then i woulod be off the hook here too, but there are some reporters who made a stink about Bush at the time, who have all of a sudden lost their passion for frugal spending??????


Point is, they were Bush bashing, pure and simple, they didnt care about spending, it was just an excuse to bash.. they still dont give a crap about spending, and since there is no one they want to bash right now... there is no story.

Artful Dodger: Fox/MSNBC can be tossed out as a wash,concerning left/right leanings
