Bush Welcome Home Party, 1700 Times Cheaper Than Obama Fest In Washington

The Media for the most part says nearly diddly about the 170 plus mil that Obamafest cost the country minus the few million that so called donations defrayed the cost, but some BDS infected writer at the local paper there gloats and whines that Bush's ceremony back home at Midland cost a piddly 100 thousand and actually had the temerity to make a big deal about it in an article below.

Lets see what 100 g notes buys in Obama world: Oprah could've picked up the entire bill for Obama fest and still had 100 million left over for necessities in 2008, Steven Spielberg would've needed a bailout to foot the whole bill but could've paid the chump change in Midland 1100 times over, Dr Phil could've paid for it only 900 times or once a year until 2908. Jean Fraud Kerry coulda' borrowed some dough from the wifey and fed 1,416,666 children for an entire year through feed the children at 120 at year per child and still had 150 million left over for windsurfing and caviar.

I wonder why we didn't see any stories like that after the inauguration as we know they woulda traveled down that road had any republican ever come near spending or should I say wasting that much money on a 15 minute ceremony! And to top that the president awaiting impeachment couldn't even manage to execute i without f'ing it up, with the help of his good friend Supreme court justice John Roberts, the justice who gave the constitution the day off in order to participate in the likely unconstitutional ceremony.

Where they to ask I'm sure president Bush or his parents would gladly pick up the tab for that party unlike the shyster Obama campaign who has yet to pick up the 1.7 million dollar tab as promised for Grant Park Fest Obama threw for himself on election night. Guess he forgot and the check's int he mail? No it's not and I have a recorded phone call to the Chicago budget office last week to verify that claim./

Cost of Bush 'Welcome Home' ceremony reaches $100,000:

MyWestTexas.com Top Stories: "Throwing a party for President and Mrs. Bush and 30,000 guests with Rodney Atkins, The Gatlin Brothers and Lee Greenwood entertaining last Tuesday in Centennial Plaza was not cheap.

There were some free speakers — The Perrys, Mayor Wes and Gov. Rick, and Rep. Tom Craddick — but Jumbotron video trucks, thousands of red, white and blue “Ws” for the lively crowd to wave and big “Welcome Home, President and Mrs. Bush,” state of Texas banners with stars for Midland and other expenses ran the tab to about $100,000.

Odessa’s Chuck Wagon Gang sold soft drinks and hot dogs until the Bushes buzzed the Petroleum Building in the blue, white and silver jetliner formerly designated Air Force One, and the Odessa born Gatlins and Greenwood came back to sing “Americans, That’s Who,” and “God Bless the U.S.A.” before the presidential couple came on-stage.

On short notice, Mayor Perry had worked for two weeks to raise money and make other preparations with a longtime friend of the Bushes, Jan O’Neill, Chamber of Commerce President Rob Cunningham, City Manager Courtney Sharp, city spokeswoman Tina Jauz and others “It started at $75,000, jumped to $140,000". continued
