Media Totally Okay with Big Obama Party

Remember all of those stories in 2004 in which the media and the Democrats encouraged President George W. Bush to tone down his party because we were at war, and tsk-tsking about the fact that donations bought access?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Unemployment is on the rise. The stock market is in the tank. Is this any time for a party?Get that? When Republicans are being inaugurated in tough times, they have to be sensitive so their parties don't offend the sensibilities of the American people. Barack Obama's inauguration, though, is a needed balm for our shattered national psyche. It's a chance to heal and come together.For the sake of the masses of people expected for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration, let's hope so. While Obama must be sensitive to the nation's time of war and recession, there's still reason to expect a rollicking time.
"We're mindful of the fact that people in this country are hurting, that they're going through hard times," said Linda Douglass, spokeswoman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee. "On the other hand, we see this not just as a celebration of an election, but as a time for people to come together and celebrate their common values and shared aspirations and goals."
As for the cost, I wonder why Obama doesn't save a few bucks and do some recycling.

I've got to credit the artist formally known as Prince aka Prince on this one. The press IS going to party like it's 1999: before Gore missed his tap in, before 9/11 when it became impossible to hide jihad from the American people, before the invasion of Iraq, before the dunce Bush got re-elected, before newspapers were on the verge of mass bankruptcies, before the MSM lost the trust of the people.
Let them have their three days of real live unicorns and problems that can be solved with pixie dust. Because the MSM is going to, some day not too far off, have some splainin to do to the American people.

Well, for those of us in the Metro area, unfortunately, there a few things that go along with the parties -- they passed "emergency" legislation so the bars downtown can stay open all night -- cool idea, huh? But don't worry, it's just for those four days. And a headline in the paper today, "Where To Park 10,000 Charter Buses?"
So EVERY day there's something else -- even how much are you charging people coming to town? The hotels are sold out and so your "friends and relatives" are wantin' to stay at your place. How much to charge -- big discussions on that.
Seems like it's all a big, fat way to try to make money off people -- how shocking, right?
Then you can talk about all the extra cops that all coming to town, too. Not enough that D.C. has more law enforcement agencies that anybody else anywhere, they already know it's not enough. And no days off for anybody either. Who's paying all that overtime?
So, congrats to the new president, but not a week I'm looking forward to.

Hopefully individuals we elect will start us using a real quest to restore sanity when they assume office in january. If they do the correct thing, Washington will immediately discover the unpleasantness of a full-on legal war. The squealing from the casualties will be almost unbearable for many of us...though music to our ears.

Thats some good basics there, already knew some of that, but you can always learn more. I doubt a “kid” could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe he’s just trying to be “controversial? lol

Boa tarde turma, com certeza ser proprietário um veículo é custoso devido ao da verdadeira pilantragem de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem dão valor ao contrato firmado ou tem embutidas em letras microscópicas deveres que dão prejuízo ao adquirinte do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não comtempla todas as artimanhas do consumidor. Estava lendo umas conselhos no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os passos para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça depois. É só um desabafo, realmente está difícil fazer boas compras.

olá turma, com certeza um SMS gratuito está cada vez mais custoso devido falta de opções das operadoras de celular. Há ainda serviços de terceiros (sites) que prometem entregar meu SMS mas nem sempre chegam recepiente final. Alguns como o Mundo oi e o Oi Torpedo funcionam mas e para as outras operadoras? E os que prometem que mandam e nada chega. Para onde está indo as meus SMS? E para a Tim, Vivo? Alguma Idéia? Ou significa ter de desembolsar?. Desculpem, realmente está difícil achar bons sites para mandar torpedos gratuito.
