Oh, the left's consistent hypocrisy

From a January, 2005 by line.....

The D.C. press corps failed to ask hard questions about the inauguration's huge cost and its unprecedented security.

Now.....

Barack Obama's inauguration is set to cost more than £100m making it the most expensive swearing-in ceremony in US history.

The President-elect will take less than a minute to recite the oath of office in front of an estimated two million people in the US capital next week.

But by the time the final dance has been held at one of the many inaugural balls the costs for the day will be a staggering £110m.

The cost was revealed as Mr Obama scrambled to answer questions about the nomination of Treasury Secretary pick Timothy Geithner.

Of course you'll notice the latter comes from a foreign newspaper since no American paper will touch a negative story on The Messiah.
