"When yellow will be mellow? When white will embrace what is right?" Are you kidding me?? Did the reverend really just say that racist crap?? I thought we were done playing the race card...

$150 million for an inauguration in one of the worst financial climates ever in the USA...way to think things through.
I think it is easy to point this fact out for arguments sake but the inauguration is bigger than so many things. This has an impact on the whole world. Do it big, its an invesment... In my opinion that is.


Oh, do you think if it were someone else that they would reduce the size of the event???

I have something similar next to my toilet. It reads, "When it's yellow, let it mellow. When it's brown, flush it down".

So you're saying we should flush Obama?

I'm sure some of these people want to complain because the person they voted for didn't win. I had to listen to all the right-wing hacks at work all day talking about the "coronation". It's like I work with Bill and Rush.

Funny how all of a sudden everyone's an accountant. You want to complain about a 150 million. What about the 13 billion that's unaccounted for in Iraq or the 350 billion of the first TARP that hasn't been tracked.

I say the $150 million is the best investment the American people have made in a while.

OK, now I'm just curious. What did you (or your company) do to earn that 2 mil? What line of work?
