I understand your point. I also understand that this inauguration will be toned down quite a bit from years past. I could be wrong but I don’t think they are even doing a parade. I read somewhere that they are only doing three balls compared to ten in 2009 and one is a military ball which I think sounds nice considering Obama is Commander in Chief. I personally like the spectacle of the whole thing as well as the tradition and history of it. And I always look forward to a good speech. Just out of curiosity have you or anyone in your family ever benefitted from any spending or entitlement programs. If so I hope there wasn’t any wasteful spending on your part considering the debt we are in.
I'm also sure that many businesses and workers are will be benefitting greatly from the spending.
Plus my guy won! LOL!

Super. My point is like I said before though, I don't understand the need for any "re"-inaguration party. Simple as that. I'm not the the kind of person that's angry at Obama. It was a simple thought.
Thank You. Enjoy the speech.
The longest inaugural address was delivered by William Henry Harrison. It was 8,445 words, nearly two hours long and -- if that wasn't bad enough -- likely killed him. In April 1841, one month after he was sworn in, Harrison died of pneumonia, believed to have been brought on by exposure to the elements on a cold and rainy Inauguration Day.
This kind of thing is already written in to the budget. Its good he's reduced them to three this time.Down from 10 in 2009.
Perhaps Congress foregoing their pay and paying out of pocket for their own healthcare along with NO pension is a better more sustainable thing for the debt.

“Inaugurations are about more than just celebrating, they’re about coming together to make our country a better place,” Obama said in a video message encouraging people to sign up to serve their communities on Saturday.
Thousands of volunteers in all 50 states are slated to participate this year.
•In Washington, D.C., volunteers will prepare more than 10,000 care packages for soldiers, veterans and first responders.
•In New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and city agencies will be engaging in service projects in communities affected by Superstorm Sandy.
•Volunteers who signed up in California will give food and winter coats to the homeless.
•In Chicago, service members will gather at Navy Pier to write letters and put together care packages for service members overseas.
•Sixty-two AmeriCorps members in Oklahoma will travel to a neighborhood once segregated by Jim Crow laws to repair homes for low-income families.
What budget?
Seems its public and private footing the bill.

I'm aware of that. I have the Internet, too.
You referred to a budget. What budget were you referring to?
But since those aren't the rules...congratulations to the best President since Clinton!
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
How else is the gov able to function without a new one?

It's official! Nice to see John Roberts didn't flub the oath this time. I'm glad Obama gave him a second chance. It was the least he could do considering Roberts favorable decision on Obamacare.
I totally agree. It's a slap in the face for Americans who are forced to donate every penny to keep the government running that they have a symbolic, meaningless party.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
I think the government gave up doing budgets a few years ago.
And if it were in the budget, it shouldn't be.
And if private funding is accepted, that should be put toward the deficit.
Let's face it, if any citizens ran their lives at such a deficit, they would be in serious trouble and would be doing every thing they can to turn things around. Our government sets a poor example in that it is making almost no effort to enact meaningful change.
I would stand up and applaud this President or any other who said that the government would be skipping the inauguration as an example to all citizens who've had to tighten their belts in these tough economic times.
But does it do that? Sadly no.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
It should be doing EVERYTHING in it's power to be a frugal and wise steward of the money it takes from its people.
Instead, it is the complete opposite.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
And on your last post - "It should be doing EVERYTHING in it's power to be a frugal and wise steward of the money it takes from its people."
Agreed.
