Who can forget Barack Obama’s victory bash in Chicago? There was a sea of humanity celebrating the ascension of The One to the highest office in the land.
Apparently, President Obama and the DNC forgot about it.
Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost of President Obama’s victory celebration in Grant Park — despite a burgeoning $50.5 million budget shortfall that threatens more layoffs and union concessions.
“The Democratic National Committee has not yet paid us,” Peter Scales, a spokesman for the city’s Office of Budget and Management, said Thursday after questions from the Chicago Sun-Times. “We’re reaching out to them this week.”
Stacie Paxton, a spokeswoman for the Obama-controlled DNC, explained the reimbursement delay by saying, “We are still looking at various costs and bills.” She would not say whether parts of the bill are disputed.
The city spent $1 million on police protection for the rally. The Office of Emergency Management and Communications racked up more than $120,000 in expenses, including $19,500 paid to police official Neil Sullivan to quarterback election night logistics.
How does it take over three months to review a bill? This is just another exampled of The One’s hypocrisy. He lectures about responsibility while his own bills go unpaid. His endless campaign is now financed not by the DNC but the taxpayers. I’m sure we won’t hear about any more of his campaign bills going unpaid now that we’re footing the bill.
