This is the SAME left who derided George Bush for his inaugurations, calling them out for such extravagance during “rough times.” (USA Today) MSNBC’s Tamron Hall alleged that Bush’s 2005 ceremony “cost roughly 40 million.” Again, (Who sees a pattern of “fairness” here?) MSNBC scolded Bush in 2008 saying, “Is this any time to party through hard times?”
What did MSNBC have to say about the Obama Coronation? “The Super Bowl? Forget it. The Oscars? Who cares. The biggest star-studded event on the horizon is Obama’s inauguration.” As well a paragraph within this drooling was entitled, “recession won’t slow down celebration.” (12/03/2008) MSNBC did shine a very dim light of truth onto the liberal left saying, “Democrats who called on Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun.” (01/17/2009) MSNBC got over this stab of conscience very quickly as this “historic” moment took precedence over the “reality” of the times. (By the way, the Obama “historic” freak show cost well over four times more than Bush’s last ceremony and he even left the city of Chicago holding the bag for millions.)
These same liberals are now giving Obama a pass when it comes to all of the ridiculously lavish un-necessities that he consistently indulges in during “difficult times”, “difficult times” of HIS making. Constant vacations, world-wide shopping trips for his wife, not to mention that Obama has played more golf than almost every player on the PGA circuit. Where was the bawling over his fiftieth birthday bash?
It's always the Dems can do it but not the repubs.
