Weclock: also, food, memorabilia.

cogadh: Almost none of that is paid for with federal funding. Food and memorabilia for the public is paid for with private funding by "inauguration profiteers".
If you read the article, actually the majority of inauguration costs are covered either by Obama's fundraising or private funding

One thing he's definitely doing, is making this phonecall.

Well, I just learned one of W's acts for the day. He commuted the sentences of two border patrol agents convicted of killing a Mexican drug dealer and attempting to cover it up.

Do you mean revoked? Isn't commuting the act of travelling between your home and the place you work?

As a legal term it means he basically said they are still convicted criminals, but they don't have to stay in jail anymore.

answer me this - as an outsider (UK), we get to laugh at Mr Bush frequently, our press tend to rip him to shreds regularly.
Also, it would appear from this forum and from many other internet sources that he is highly disliked.
Which makes me ask the question - how the f*ck did he get into power in the first place?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!

He had money and lawyers that he used to rig the first election (which he did lose). The second election, I blame on the opposition party for not capitalizing on W's faults.

His daddy was a forgettable President, at best.

Went back to Texas and shot some people.

He's probably got a smug smile on his face that says it all: "Oh well, I got mine!"
And then he's going to make the phone call to his daddy that goes something like this :
"HAHA! I got Saddam and 8 whole years!! What do you think, Daddy? huh?!? huh?!?"
(This is all based on the WIll Ferrell school of George W. Bush impersonations.....
