Barack Obama spent $5.3 Million On The Stage and Lighting Used For His Coronation in Denver…

Personally, I did not waste my time watching Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver, a field he transformed into a Greek theater which shall go down in infamy as the Barackopolis.
It seems excessive even by narcissistic standards to spend $5.3 million dollars to construct a stage that was going to be used for one night and one night only, to deliver a speech that could have been delivered with the same impact at the Pepsi Center, where the rest of the convention was held.
I just hope that the media shows the same outrage and gives this the same exposure as it did to the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. Here are excerpts from the Denver Business Journal story on the convention:
The Denver 2008 Convention Host Committee said Thursday that $60.9 million was raised to stage the Democratic National Convention — well over the $40 million the city originally promised to raise.
Most of that money went to pay expenses of the Democratic National Convention Committee, the party organization that staged the DNC. Nine percent of the host committee’s money went to pay its own expenses, which included salaries, marketing and staging various events off the convention grounds.
Convention expenses paid by the committee included $14.1 million for construction costs, including the stage and lighting, at the Pepsi Center and $5.3 million at Invesco Field.
Who else stages elaborate coronation ceremonies? Why other narcissistic crooks of course…
