a sign of change

I am fully supportive of the decision this great country has made in our choice of president. But what really grabs me is the naivety of the expectations held by many.

President Barack Obama’s inauguration next week is set to be the most expensive ever, predicted to reach over $150m. This dwarfs the $42.3m spent on George Bush’s inauguration in 2005 and the $33m spent on Bill Clinton’s in 1993.

And hopefully not as a predictor;

If there is snow, the costs will grow higher. The long-term forecast suggests there is a chance of snow on Sunday and again on the day of inauguration, on Tuesday.

My personal long-term forecast, things will get worse. Maranatha.
