and...
Inaugural Expenses
I'm not saying there shouldn't have been a celebration...but as Presidents in wartime in the past have done...shave it down a pinch, eh? It just shows me how out of touch Bush can be! It would have made a nice gesture on his part to show his awareness of the current situation and his compassion for it. I feel like he lives in his own "Bush bubble" and this was the capper for me! |
That's the mayor bitching about his expenses to cover security. Don't you think it's his job to protect the President? For christs sake!
How much of the citys money do you think he spent on the Thanksgiving day parade?
I'm just really sick of the bush banging ya know......... Can't we give it a rest and go on with our lives here?
Write your congressman if you don't like it. It's not gonna get solved on pixies and I HATE coming here and listening to a bunch of bitching.
This is supposed to be a "feel good" site.
I come here to get away from all that crap.
