With Obama's ability to raise so much money, why doesn't he do it to help the economy? He can blow millions of dollars for his inauguration, why can't raise money to help out the country?
Quote="Obama has pledged transparency in his inauguration fundraising. He has disclosed inaugural donors as the fundraising continued, though he is not required to do so until after the ceremony."
[snort-yeah, like he did during his campaign. I will believe it when I see it. I wonder if there will be Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse?]
Security and transportation costs are being paid by taxpayers. And with millions of tourists expected to descend on Washington for Tuesday's inauguration ceremony, Bush declared a state of emergency, allowing the district to recover some costs for the event.
The Republicans ought to say something about the spending when our economy is so bad right now.
Despite the bleak economy, however, Democrats who called on President George W. Bush to be frugal four years ago are issuing no such demands now that an inaugural weekend of rock concerts and star-studded parties has begun.
It is different when a Democrat does it, isn't it? They want to talk about the Republican's spending, and list that as the reason why we lost so many House and Senate seats. I have a feeling that we haven't seen anything yet.
