I don't remember the exact figure, but it was at least double as I recall.Mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832752217487538595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451186814961268878.post-80677423176820326362009-01-21T22:21:00.000-06:002009-01-21T22:21:00.000-06:00Actually, the constitution states that the preside...Actually, the constitution states that the president elect becomes president at noon regardless of whether or not he has said the oath of office. And the chief justice admitted that he was the one that screwed up the oath. And that much money would have been spent anyway, we are only more conscious of it now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451186814961268878.post-506719572265006362009-01-21T13:55:00.000-06:002009-01-21T13:55:00.000-06:00He said he was the 44th man to take that oath, but...He said he was the 44th man to take that oath, but he was only the 43rd. I wonder how much time the media and comedians would have given that if Bush made the same mistake.<BR/><BR/>At least he seemed to be uncomfortable during the racist rants of that so-called preacher.<BR/><BR/>And, lastly, how much NEA money did that nitwit "poet" get? She's lucky we've got a socialist in charge, because she sure can't survive on talent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451186814961268878.post-40041950779752897552009-01-20T13:10:00.000-06:002009-01-20T13:10:00.000-06:00Can someone please tell me what was said?

I'm not sure why. I def agree that Michelle's Victory Party dress was hideous. The green garb today was a step up. But it's not like I want the DNC to spend $$$ on her wardrobe, though, so I keep my *humble* opinions on the DL ;)<BR/>Was it Sasha with the digital camera? I totally want to be her facebook friend to see those shots. ;)<BR/>Aretha ROCKED that hat and yes, we spent waaaaaayyy too much money on the festivities. Plus, how is a zillion car motorcade good for the planet? couldn't we have carpooled?!?<BR/><BR/>And yeah. The benediction was pure poetry. I also loved the Air on Simple Gifts. John Williams still rocks.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238644304138315893noreply@blogger.com
