just an estimate. . .*'s backdrops

[stellanoir]

What would you guys guess *'s backdrops for his phoney presentations in front of screened audiences are costing us?

I've no clue but find these disingenuous backdrops utterly revolting. They make me ill.

I remember vaguely one figure for the set at Centcom in Dubai before the invasion and it was staggering.

If he was even remotely sincere, his words would speak volumes and this window dressing would be completely unnecessary. Oh whoops wrong dude for that. I'm thinking of leaders worthy of our respect. Silly me.

1. chimp change.

er, chump change.

especially when compared to the cost of flying air force one, e.g.

2. How 'bout the price of shipping huge vehicles all over the place,

and running AF1? He doesn't give a rat's ass about us or our money that he squanders.

3. About $10 sq ft

That's the going rate for full color vinyl banners.

5. And that's just output. . . then there's planning, design, mounting. . .

those cost run up quickly to far more than the simple costs of electronic output. . .

But overall, the flags and banners -- the accouterments of power -- are the least of the costs run up by the fauxboy.

4. It seems to me

that the mission accomplish banner cost $25,000. When the WH said that the mission accomplished backdrop was the idea of the ship...it was found out that the WH paid for it...and that was the amount they stated. So it was probably $50,000. Multiply that by all of his dog and pony shows and you are talking big money.

6. I remember the chimperor's first visit to Southen Oregon

They spent a fortune on an elaborate stage set that was used for just a few minutes. It's like they guy can't get a message across without props. This article gives an idea what goes into the theatrics neede to support a fake president.

7. all such bull

[ThatsMyBarack]

8. Has any other president....

....used this sort of thing, and so often, draining taxpayers' pockets so much??

[stellanoir]

9. doubtful

no other leader has had so much to cover up with such tripe.

At least Reagan had a personality. Ughhhhhh. This is bogus from start to finish.
