On the way home tonight, I learned that Barack Obama’s inauguration will cost $150 million. 

While I do not watch the news, I work around people who do and I have not heard any comments about this. I find this a little strange. 

If I remember correctly, the US economy was chugging along pretty well in January of 2005. However, at that time, the agenda driven media constantly harangued President George W. Bush about the “irresponsible” and “extravagant” spending of $40 million for the inauguration.

Now, not a peep. No one is talking about it. And this in the midst of what the incoming President himself has termed the worst economic crisis in the last century.

Hmmm…do you think that your news might be filtered for you?
