INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA 2013

[dmahoney]

A very sad day for me and my family.         SInce his re-election we have taken a hit in the pocketbook and expect more to come. With this country in such a sad state of affairs why did we need to spend all that money for all that pomp and circumstance when that money could have been better spent somewhere else..ie. deficet, needy, sandy survivors, etc... He had already been sworn in the day before, thats all that needed to be done.

Lets just hope Obama can use this term to finally dig us out of the debt bush left him.   Yes the paycheck cut hurts a LOT, but that's a kickback to bush - not obama.  Remember that the country had a surplus when buch took office, and it took him less than two years to get us twice as in debt as his father left when he was president.  I don't actually care who he slept with - I think Obama should ask Clinton to come back and balance the books.

That's going to be tough since Obama added more debt in four years than Bush did in eight. Neither have a clue about balancing a budget.
