The inauguration of Barack Obama - $150 million?

Is it really worth the money, or could the money be better spent elsewhere?

Inauguration outrage - do we really need it every four years?

Inauguration outrage - why is it that the left are only outraged by the right's inaugurations, and vice versa?

How much is an inauguration normally?

That money could have been spent on the world economy, rather than making New Mr President look good

It's the liberal's super bowl.

That small amount would have no impact on the world economy.

A lot of the money (estimates I've seen have been around $100 million) is being spent on security. Believe me, when you cram that many extra people into this city, you NEED extra security!

ever heard the phrase "Every little helps"

Yup. Doesn't mean it's true.

what is this about?

The cost of Obama's inauguration, and is it worth it.

it's donated money, so I'd have to assume the people who donated the money think so

It is helping the economy.

$50 million according to Faux News

$150 million ("rumor" ) according to Associated Content (Associated Content appears to let any idiot submit a news story I should do one that says the inaugruation costs $5 )

Really people, pay attention to your sources.

Don't be silly. Immediately after being spent, that money is going to be burned.
