The fanfare with which the president-elect will be inaugurated on Tuesday reminds the BBC’s Katty Kay of the pomp and circumstance adorning the British royals. It’s an shameful way to treat a president.

I think the recently bailed out bankers are the major contributors to the fanfare.....they refuse to lend us our own money but find new and innovative ways to use it for influence peddling.
Taxpayer supported lobbying. A bit like being stabbed in the back with a knife you just purchased.
