Cold Chicken Salad & Plain Pound Cake, Jump On the Bandwagon George!
What’s more disheartening than Bush being re-elected? I could think of many reasons; however, I would have to say celebrating a privately funded $40 million inauguration, with another estimated $66 million in taxpayer’s money to cover intense security and other accessory event items, which will be taking place during a time of war & world distress. This will be the most expensive inauguration in history! Bush, leading our country to a record breaking national deficit of $412 billion last year, creating a war in Iraq with a $5 million-a-month price tag, just a couple of his accomplishments; however, he strongly feels he deserves this lavish party!
Bush, the only word that comes in mind to describe you right now is IDIOT! Maybe you should research your fellow republican, Franklin D. Roosevelt, during his 1945 inauguration where he served cold chicken salad and plain pound cake to his guests, which was held at the white house. Since you are such a great history buff, I’m sure you already know this was during World War II, war being the key word. I would give you one more example; however, I know you will ignore it because it’s an example of a logical approach a democrat took during wartime. During WW I, Wilson actually cancelled his inauguration festivities with respect to wartime and distress. Maybe you could serve a Texas style meal, like Frank’n’Beans?!
Congratulations to the idiotic donors who made contributions of at least $250,000 to support the most expensive inauguration in history! Home Depot, Bank of America, pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers & Squibb, and Ford Motors. Before next contributions are allocated for inaugurations, please check into developing academic scholarships; however, have a BLAST at this year’s festivities.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend your lavish festivities next Thursday, George; however, please think of me, a college student paying increased tuition because the lack of federal funding, when you indulge at the courtesy of my tax dollar.
