If you recall, people were OUTRAGED at the pricetag, which was more expensive than any other president in history.
So to those of you who were so pissed off four years ago, I wanted to offer you my sincere sympathy, since Barack Obama's inauguration costs are slated to top $150,000,000...during what the left mistakenly calls "the worst economy since the Great Depression." (It wasn't, by the way. The recessions of the Carter era and the first few years following the transition to Ronald Reagan were significantly worse.)
I can only imagine how pissed you must be now.
Obama won. It's over. Deal with it. In a landslide victory too so I assume the people are happy. You fail to understand this is important history, and the cost was going to be enormous as this needs to be remembered the best way possible. The first black President! Go find something else to whine about. Thank you, good game.
