| FeedomWatch investigates Obama partying post-election |
| 2009-03-07 |
| The dichotomy between reality & the atmosphere at the WH is so great, even Whoopi & friends are playing CYA on the View An organization that serves as a watchdog on the U.S. government for American taxpayers has launched a campaign to uncover exactly how much tax money is being spent on parties at the Obama White House. The president has shown a penchant for lavish galas, such as the huge assembly orchestrated in Denver when he accepted his party's nomination for president -- an outdoor gathering for some 75,000 featuring a stage with Greek columns. He also held a multimillion-dollar victory celebration in Chicago, and his fancy inauguration cost an estimated $170 million, according to ABC News. |

| #3 Extroverts need parties like introverts need air. That's fine, but if, as is being said, President Obama is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work the job requires, he needs to find a less time-consuming way to meet his need for intimate crowds. |

| #2 I'd beg to differ, Steve. Most people have little real grasp of the magnitude of the sums being squandered by Obama's gang on the septic stimuli. Other examples of his fiscal irresponsibility are useful illustrators and likely to open eyes more effectively, per dollar, than trillions wasted elsewhere. |

| #1 Tempest in a teapot. Let them entertain, I don't care. Bush entertained a lot less and Obama entertains more. We have more important things to consider. |
