MORE BOOS THAN BALLS It will not be easy for President B. Hussein Obama. More than half the country voted for him, and yet our newspapers are brimming with snippy remarks at every little aspect of his inauguration. I have been thinking how much support Obummmah could have generated if he said NO to the glitz and the $100 million dollar party. He could have just as easily taken the oath in the oval office and promised to use the $100 million in party money to assist needy Americans in these difficult times. That would have demonstrated his resolve to assist the down trodden. Instead he threw his power in their face. The combined elements of power and access to money are corruptive to many politicians. Obammah missed an opportunity. That is the little problem. The unintended consequences of the exorbitant and expensive bash may be more difficult to overcome. I see little difference between the Obummah bash and the AIG bash, except Obummah spent 200x more. That sticks with me.
