Bush Spends More on His Inauguration Than On Tsunami Disaster

[TheLegacy]

so heres the breakdown - Spain is giving 68$ the largest donation with Canada second at 40$ - USA is a pitiful 35$ million when you take into account that Bush is spending 270$ MILLION on his Inauguration rather than the relief effort - thats a shitload more than his 2001 Inauguration which costed 40$ Million - which is still more than what America is giving today !!


Spain on Wednesday announced the largest single contribution - $68 million

Over a quarter of a billion dollars on his inauguration? How can this guy have been re-elected? I seriously cannot fathom what Bush supporters are thinking.
