Well, reality-ly speaking...I just got finished filing my tax return, and that $1,000 X 2 child credit was a nice little bonus.
Metaphorically speaking....

nice day for some, bad day for others.
It's a sad 4 years, Med. Still, wtf are people complaining about a party for? Compalin about the war, the economy, the vacations Bush always goes on, or something legit but to whine about everything he does is ridiculous.
the price tag for all of these parties are ridiculous. clinton's, etc. all of them are a waste. there's no need for them.
I'm always down for a good party but I'm always looking for ways to cut costs.
I've even taped a pinata back together and used it again.
I'm sure Laura had an old evening gown she could have worn again and Bush should have gone to the Men's wearhouse and just rented a tux for $29.95.
"Bush'll like the way he looks!"
Yep, a bad day for freedom-haters 'round the world.
Once again Yonivore proves his ignorance. Anyone against Bush is "freedom hater".
You are so full of hate it shows.
2 much money
Okay, besides freedom-haters, who else had a bad day on the 20th?
Y'all crack me up, talking about $40M, as if it matters.
To those among others who are concerned about the costs of this Inauguration, not to worry, as Clinton's 2nd Inauguration when related to today’s cost of money was over $50 million compared to $40 million for 2nd Inauguration for Geo W. and there were no protests at that time to do away with the Inauguration because Clinton was spending $50 Million ( in today’s costs).
Interesting how the media and the liberals continue to try to divide the country when there is a conservative in the White House. The Democrats used to say, let's unite the country. Unfortunately, this is not the Democrat party of the Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy era, who were Great Presidents and great uniters
More importantly, this Inauguration was the first in years that had God in the messages from start to finish and the Pres., God bless him, gave all the glory to God. It was refreshing to see this administration being able to relate to God without fear of the Socialists and ACLU clans. Hopefully, not only the majority, but greater numbers of the country will continue to unite behind a man whose hero is Jesus Christ.
God bless America and its leaders in Washington.

The Old Sarge would add to this that it was Clinton who was selling overnight stays in the White House to his friends and financial supporters. The Democrats are ripping Pres. Bush over the donors now having access to the White House because they donated to his inaugural expenses. As if the Democrats did not have access to the White House and the White House bedrooms the whole time Clinton was in office! Wake up, America! Wake up liberals and smell the coffee. The very things you blame Pres. Bush for, Clinton did many times over, including pardoning some of the worst crooks and thieves in the country before he left office!
Well, I must not have good sources because I heard this party was the most expensive ever. I think the issue is how Clinton's money was raised by small individual donations while Bush's was raised by very large donations from corporations and big shots.
That is where the difference is and I just don't think conservatives get it because when it comes to their beloved Dubya...he can do no wrong.
And once again "God" has to come into play like conservatives have a monopoly on Christianity which they grab onto like they are above everyone else.
I'm a Christian but don't need to announce it to the world.
Jesus himself said to be humble.
in actual dollars this was the most expensive, but adjusted for inflation clinton's cost more.
"Jesus himself said to be humble." .............................But he didn't say to remove his name from everything and ignore him.
Actual dollars is what counts in my book.
Uh, how could he since Christianity was not established yet?"Jesus himself said to be humble." .............................But he didn't say to remove his name from everything and ignore him.
Why?Actual dollars is what counts in my book.
Because in a few a years Bush's will be the most expensive when adjusted for inflation and when I spend my money I don't adjust for inflation.
Wait a minute..that means, by your account, Clinton's will still be more expensive when adjusted for inflation.
I guess I just like to keep it real.

That's keeping it stubbornly ignorant.
You always adjust for inflation.
Last I heard Clinton Spent $25 million for his first inauguration and $30-$35 for his second. W spent almost $40 million on his first inauguration and an estimated $52 million on his second when all is said and done. No amount of 'adjusting for inflation' or 'accounting for the weaker dollar' or 'in today's dollars' is gonna make up the difference. Point is, most of Clinton's inauguration was paid for with small donations ($100) while a few wealthy donors - W's base, paid $240K each. A drop in the bucket for them, but what does that money buy? Access? A open ear?You always adjust for inflation.
Forget the bipartisanship crap, we should all be pissed about this.
