I also think this is hypocritical of the man wanting to bring change. The only change I see is more people doing without, to pay for his party. What does he know about cutting back, or anything like that; when do lawyers or senators live on minimum wage? Why couldn’t he have done a smaller party like Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr; then used the extra money to pay the mortgages on the homes of hundreds! Most of the people who voted for him, will NEVER see one million, and he is spending it a hundred fold, and he has not been in office yet. I am glad I did not vote for him, and I think more would wish that they had not voted for him, before the 4 yrs are up!

In these tough times with so many Americans out of work and barely able to feed their families, and the economy the way it is, how does our President-elect justify this price tag, and yes I myself and many others do see this as excessive and inappropriate.

I can’t help but think all glitz relates to racial undertones. We have heard all about the obvious fact Obama is African-American. I thought this election was about who is the BEST canidate. If this 4 day party is 150 million dollars, what is Michelle going to spend redecorationg the white house? Do any of these people care that shelters for families without homes are closing on a regular basis because they don’t have funds. Guess who is to blame for that? People who don’t worry about having food for their children or shelter, or the elderly who can’t keep their houses warm because they have no money!!! If this is change let’s all get ready to do without some more so Washington the “haves” can throw a big 4 day party, While the “have nots” foot the damn bill!!!!When are the stimulus checks coming to the people who are losing everything because of government splurging and wallstreet deception. I believe that was a campaign promise. Is this really change or more politics. Let’s re-elect Bill Clinton or hire Hillary. I’m appalled at this whole thing, guess we will have to wait at least 4 more days. Can I take my vote back??
