Actually, the trolling is this very thread. Obama does not create or plan inaugurations. It is done by a Congressional joint committee. If we're going to bash Obama, we're going to have to find something else.

Nothing wrong with that. That is in fact inspiring. The begging for money however in this time of fiscal difficulties is both selfish and pathetic. Turning a celebration of our political process into a corporate promotional event is just as bad as selling rooms in the Whitehouse

Would you prefer that the taxpayers foot the entire bill?

Damned if you do.....damned if you don't

Take private donations so the taxpayers don't have to pay used to be a cornerstone of conservatives.

I guess it is only a problem when a black president does it

 

[LeftofLeft]

Gee

I miss all those threads about taxpayer dollars paying for the inauguration

Big egos care not who pays for it.

Yea...I get it

The black guy shouldn't be allowed to celebrate his inauguration, or take vacations, or play golf

......and the race bate comes put when unable to come up with a substantive refute.

Well I'm sure our conservative members would not hold our presidents race against him

The current butt hurt must be because they lost once again and can't bear him celebrating
