I suppose a case could be made that inaugurating our first black president was four times as momentous as re-inaugurating Bush. But then, a case could also be made that the Obamas should not have continued to live like royalty at taxpayers’ expense when so many Americans are out of work.

    The press has made a big deal out of the fact W had taken more time away from DC at this point in his presidency.Two points-Obama didn’t have to deal with 9/11,and when Bush took off,he went to his OWN HOME!Didn’t cost the taxpayers a dime.Fat chance you’ll ever see the usurper at his chicago digs.That’s almost like living with ..eeewwwww common folk.

    The Obamas may not even own the house, actually and for sure don’t own the little “buffer” parcel they bought separately from Resko’s wife.
