I disagree. Your lives have already changed for the better having elected Obama just by way of that act. You have started the little rock down the snow bank, and it will begin to pick up speed and hopefully turn into an avalanche that will crash through a lot of the racism and bigotry which you say

As has everyone in the national media for the last week, big deal. Like you took the time to pour through the budgets and come up with the tallies on your own. The irony is that even similar money would be spent on the Obama inauguration after Democrats complained so bitterly about the costs in 200

Hmm..No, you seem to be utterly and completely wrong. Or you've been taking reading lessons from Sam. No, that's just rude, I shouldn't say things like that, I apologize. The article does mention that the costs for the Obama inauguration are not entirely known. That fact, in and of itself, would s

No one knows what Obama's inauguration is going to cost until the books are settled. The article, such as it is, is not an exploration of facts but a rant about how awful those darn conservatives are.
