Future generations will bear inauguration's cost

As reported in the Jan. 14, 2009, edition of The Washington Times, a state of emergency was declared for the coronation of our very narcissistic new president. FEMA was tapped to help keep the city from being destroyed by inebriated celebrants. I don't think they had any choice given the size of party Obama wanted to throw for himself and his cronies.

I think that our children and grandchildren will be paying for this bash for many decades. Is this the fiscal responsibility Obama promised us?
