Talk about unbelievable disgusting narcissism..., check it out! :-(

Talk about an unbelievable disgusting self-esteem..., check it out!
When a president of the U.S dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case
Of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated
In the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order.
His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people
Cost almost $4 million in today's money, adjusted for inflation.
The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.
Ronald Reagan, one of the most influential men in history,
Is buried in California at his Presidential Library, paid for by donations
From the people and the Reagan family. In fact, other than Kennedy,
Which we can all agree was warranted, no president has ever cost
The taxpayers more than $100K in today's money to bury.
The clause in the Presidential Contract enacted by congress in
1819 states that the president shall receive the burial service
Deemed fit for his stature and that the cost of the funeral and
Burial plot will be paid for by the people of a grateful nation.
While every president who has died in modern history, except Reagan,
Took advantage of that perk of the presidency, none have gone
So far that anyone would ever have noticed. Until now that is.
Barack Obama has just submitted "his personal plans" for burial in a plot
That will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and
The Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument "he" had designed
To celebrate the nation's first black president.
The monument, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million, and
Will be listed as a "national historical place" with 24 - hour protection
From the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment..., just like the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier.
The memorial would be built immediately upon approvaland occupy
The Northeast quadrant of the lawn near the Washington Monument,
With a view of the White House: WHAT ARROGANCE!!!!!!!!!
The monument itself would include "quotes from his years as president," along with a giant bronze statue, and burial crypts for him and
His family under a large arch:

OzymandiasÂ
BYÂ PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.â€
Sic Semper Tyrannis
