Obama swearing in ceremony surpassing all records. In midst of dire recession and brink of chaotic depression, President-elect on $60 million spending binge.
By the time the balls are over, the Slave Maids are done parading and the feast “reminiscent of Lincoln” is finished, Barack Hussein Obamas Inauguration orgy will be the costliest “party” in American history.
What could be done with that money?
These are some of my favorite past examples…
* Protect 120,000 children from diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, childhood tuberculosis, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and Vitamin A deficiency ($30 per child through UNICEF)
(times 2)
* Provide 175,000 bednets to protect against malaria ($10 per net through Nothing But Nets)
(times 2)
* Provide free cleft surgery for 1,000 children ($250 average cost per surgery through Smile Train)
(times 2)
* Provide 80 MILLION packs of birth control in third world or developing nations, enough to prevent unwanted pregnancy in over 615,000 women for a full decade (about 15 cents per cycle through dktinternational.org
)
(times 2)
* Buy around 20 years worth of Copaxone therapy for 12 people with multiple sclerosis
(times 2)
Imagine what could be done with that money if we didnt have a President Elect with a Messiah complex and no shame?
Terry,
You see why I joined the Libertarian Party instead?
NOW you’re concerned about the poor and needy? Please, spare us the faux altruism.
It’s astounding how the “deny-ers” and those with their heads in the sand over the past 8 years have suddenly emerged to pick away at the margins.
#2 anon, I agree and it makes me sick how these guys are able to spin and rewrite history. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
How about the oil company profits over the last eight years? Lets see how much Prozac, Xanax, Paxil and Zoloft we could have bought with that money to make this recession you brought down on us easier to bear.
