Yes - hard sacrifices to be made - how much is the inauguration and party going to cost?

I mean, I know that Katy Perry and Beyonce are essential to keeping the hippest President's hip image intact, but what if Obama just, you know put his hand on the book, got sworn in and gave a nice speech and went about his business of doing work.

Here is one estimate that the inauguration will cost taxpayers about $115 million.

And that doesn't begin to get to the heart of the "party" which will be thrown by rich corporations and CEOS and wall street bankers who will all, no doubt, get some sort of corporate welfare down the road....

I know, I know - Democrats are for the little guy, Republicans are for the elite..... :

You do realize that a majority of the taxpayer cost is for security, which is needed for an event with anywheres from hundreds of thousands to a couple of million people attending, and that the parties are from private funds, right?

Of course, if Obama had one little small ceremony, the righties would be screaming that he was disrespecting the office of the presidency by having a more simpler swearing-in event than the local county garbage commissioner.

Keep in mind the swearing-in itself is just a show this year.

You can install the cold fusion reactor next to my hot water heater. The food replicator can go where the fridge was.

Before I finalize the order, though, you have to prove your credibility.

I love that the right-wing screech machine spent two years telling us the payroll tax cut was an insignificant cut that did nothing to stimulate the economy, and is now trying to use its expiration (which they were all telling us was overdue, just a few months ago) as a cudgel to bash the President with.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/12/05/obama_s_payroll_tax_cut_defunds_social_security

"The Republican leadership goes along with it because it's a "tax cut," and it puts money in the pockets of voters. It's about a thousand dollars. The payroll tax cut is said to add $1000. But it's been in place for a year, and it has not stimulated the economy. So, why are we gonna extend it? Why this tax?"

http://news.yahoo.com/facts-don-t-support-bachmann-s-claim-about-payroll-tax-cut-and-job-creation.html

"On the Dec. 6 broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Republican Rep. Bachmann reiterated her opposition to the payroll tax cut.Bachmann, a Republican candidate for president, told host Joe Scarborough that there’s no evidence it created jobs.

Bachmann, Dec. 6: I still oppose that payroll tax cut. And also, President Obama said that it would create jobs. There’s not one shred of evidence that lowering the payroll tax rate created jobs. So his premise was wrong, but also, it’s hurting senior citizens. I won’t do that.

Scarborough: So you, you just, you don’t think it’s stimulative.

Bachmann: No, it’s not stimulative.

Scarborough: You don’t think it creates jobs.

Bachmann: If it was stimulative, I … thank you for saying that point, because that is also another reason to oppose it, because it wasn’t stimulative and that was the president’s point."

The comments from article are gems. I guess these people did not get the memo:

What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up? My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?”

Another comment, by “DemocratToTheEnd” was, “My boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didn’t help.”

“Nancy Thongkham” gave a measured response to the new taxes she would have to pay: “F***ing Obama! F*** you! This taking out more taxes s*** better f***ing help me out!! Very upset to see my paycheck less today!”

“_Alex™” was more resigned: “Obama I did not vote for you so you can take away a lot of money from my checks.”

“Dave” had the most honest reaction: “Obama is the biggest f***ing liar in the world. Why the f*** did I vote for him”?

The low information liberals are now finding out that they got played.

Any individual who thinks anyone in Washington cares about the middle class should have his/her entire paycheck docked for stupidity.

MisterCreosote said:

I love how the president's major campaign issue was that the middle class shouldn't have to pay more taxes, because they NEED the money, and then even before his second inauguration, the middle class is magically paying more taxes.

Not every Republican needs to fall in lockstep with what Michele Fucking Bachmann says. And, not everyone needs to partake in the petty political pissing matches in Washington.

Pointing out the truth is only a vile political attack on the president if you make it one.
