PRESIDENT BUSH COMMUTES SENTANCE OF BORDER AGENTS AND OBAMA'S 170 MILLION BLOW OUT
Two very opposite and also very distinct items have caught my attention today as President Bush spends his last day as President and Barack Obama prepares for his first.
BUSH COMMUTES BORDER AGENTS
The first is something that we conservatives have called for since it first became news and in one of his final acts as President, George W. Bush has commute the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean two border patrol agents who in defending our border shot a Mexican drug dealer who was trying to smuggle illegal drugs into The United States.
The agents were convicted for the incident in which most accepted that they were only performing their duties as border patrol agents. Soon after the conviction the call for President Bush to pardon or commute their sentence began and now it has become a reality as the President commutes the sentence of the agents.
OBAMA 170 MILLION DOLLAR BASH
The second item that caught my attention today is the continual escalating price tag of the Obama Inauguration. It has now reached 170 million dollars and the price is still climbing with yet another day of liberal love fest activities and of course the Inauguration and the activities that surround it yet to take place.
In 2005 when President Bush was Inaugurated for his second term the price tag was 40 million dollars all from private donations for the event. Yet protesters marched in poor neighborhoods, liberals in Congress were calling for Congressional investigations and the press was plastering the price tag all over the news complaining about how much was being spent. And again I stress that it was all funded privately and NOT from government coffers.
Now the messiah of the left is spending more than 170 million dollars with only about 50 million coming from private funding and NOTHING is being said. The love fest is lasting four days while all other Presidential Inaugurations have lasted only one day. Washington DC has declared a state of emergency because they cannot handle all of the hoopla taking place and with the emergency declared the federal government steps in to help with everything including expenses.
This is not a party for a rock star,or the coronation of a monarch but the supposed smooth transition of power of a free Republic and the Inauguration of a new President. If anything even remotely like this had taken place for a Republican the eruption of scandal, criticism and ridiculous waste of money would have been constant. In these recessive times one would think that the , "caring," Obama and his liberal cronies would try and curtail expense. But then again we are talking about Democrats, the epitome of hypocrites and Obama who thinks he is the come and end all for all mankind. So much for their concern over your pocket book!

170 million dollars. A fraction of it I could've used to pay for all of my college expenses and live the good life.
SentEnce.
Also, a great deal of the inauguration cost for Obama is due to the unprecedented level of security that's being provided for him.
I was very happy to hear that President Bush pardoned the Border Patrol Agents, Ken. I was hoping he would!
As for the money being spent on what is more like a coronation than an inauguration, it's so typical of the left, isn't it? They went balistic over how much was spent on President Bush's inaugeration but we don't here them whining about the amount being spent now, do we??? That proves how hypocritical they are, not that we needed any proof!
