Once again the party liners are at each other. Get a life and learn to think for yourselves. Now I have a question for all of you (reb/dem). Why do we need to waste all this money for parades and other useless @!$%# to swear in the president? I know he has to thank all the bankers, oil ceos, and other big money contribute rs for their money and of course feed them very well on the taxpayers dime. The money it cost for this is could be better used elsewhere like paying down the national debt (instead of raising it). We have live TV swear him/her in on TV without wasting the taxpayers money.

    I dont know Getoveryourself, why did we spend millions putting King George Bush on an aircraft carrier to a 'Missio Accomplished' parade on deck for a war that was still 8 years from being over?

    And where was this complaint of yours at Bush's innaguraytion festivities? Its only a waste if you lose the election I guess, huh?

    I know you hate the president and evryttyhing he does is wrong, unacceptable, foreign-born, socialistic. Kenyan. or the other knucklegragging reasons you find to hate for hate's sake.

    Sounds like your moniker fits......YOU LOST, OBAMA WON. we will celebrate. GET OVER THYSELF.

    GOP - (Guns against People) won't be happy untill we get the debt down - so they can start another war - and they will. How else can they use all those guns. I have an idiot newphew who believes that the government will come to take away his guns. He wants firepower. I told him good luck against tanks, and drones. GOP (Guns- Opposition- Prayer) Have no clue about what America wants.
