		<description>It really is amazing how stupid, whinny and racist some of the bloggers on this site are.  First of all,  if you can only complain about CNN why do you blog on their site?  Go somewhere else.  2nd,  I never heard of anybody being hired to criticize the spelling and/or the English of bloggers on the site.  If you feel everyone is below you then why aggravate yourself and keep coming back to the site to see all of the mistakes being made.  3rd,  learn the real facts before making statements.  Why are there so many highly intelligent people out there, brilliant about EVERYTHING in the world, with time on their hands to spend many hours a day on blog sites?
As for Obama&#039;s inaugural balls, he deserves whatever he decides to have, to celebrate.  People like me are paying for these celebrations, not the tax payers.  With the mess he has inherited his celebrations will be short lived.
Wake up America and support this man whether you voted for him or not.  As for the idiots,  shut up.</description>

		<description>PE Obama has his work cut  out for him, yet it is not  allabout him, it is about everyday americans and what we are willing to do to repair the mess left in the wake of the last administration.

The bottom line is that we are not a red or blue america,  liberal or conservative america

We are the United States of America !

Fortunately  the majority of youth today understand this concept more than their elders</description>

		<description>Mr. Obama goes to Washington.......he has taken a fork in the road.....and life will never be the same for him or his family.   It is both sad and exciting.....I wish him well and may God watch over them.</description>

		<description>That is wonderful, there were so many young people out on the campaign trail for PE Obama and it&#039;s nice to see some recognition for them.....he is someone they look up to and he has inspired so many.
It will be a great honor for them all and I just want them to have a great time on such an historic occasion and one they can share with their children and grandchildren down the road.</description>

		<description>The &quot;Young Americans&quot; who have done service for this country wear military uniforms, not these silly college kids whose parents paid for their trips to DC to drink and dance with you.  You are so foolish, Obama, to try to equate college life and getting started with a career to military service where people put their lives on line for the country with very little reward.</description>

		<description>If I&#039;m not mistaken, the &quot;official balls&quot; may be funded with taxpayer&#039;s money, but out of the huge list of balls being thrown, only 10 are &quot;official&quot; - I&#039;ll be at The Green Inaugural Ball (not Gore&#039;s because, sadly, that one IS invitation only) but the one at  Mellon Auditorium is open to the public.

Cheers!</description>

		<description>For those who are complaining about Obama and the number of events...this is the same number of inaugural balls Regan had, four less than Clinton, and only one more than Bush had in &#039;04. Obama has already released the list of people who donated the money for the events. So, get over it already! Hope won. Time to celebrate!</description>

		<description>For all of you that seemed to have missed the segment of your local or cable news last week; PE Obama has released a list of over 550 thousand supporters that donated to his inaugural events.  I was one of them and I&#039;m sure none of you are really concerned about my balance sheet so stop hating.</description>

		<description>Gina, &quot;Mr. Bush&quot; is still our president so refer to him as president Bush. You do not have to respect the man, but respect the position. As much as it pains me, I will say president Obama until the next inauguration day.

And for all of you who are still feeling the need to put republicans down for their political beliefs, all I have to say is this. For all the hate spewing out of liberals for the last 6 months, you&#039;re in no place to talk about hate, fear, or division. You all showed your hate and agism hourly, you employed the fear tactic by shouting how mccain would start world war 3, and by making the comments you guys do about us you show that we are still too divided. Wanna solve the problems in our country? Try working together with us instead of putting republicans down all the time. We feel exactly the same about you as you do about us, but you don&#039;t see us going out of our way to make sure everyone knows it.

Hope? yeah right.</description>

		<description>Since PE Obama&#039;s successful landslide electoral college win; I love saying that, his transition team has been accepting donations from Obama supporters for all inaugural events.  You see one thing about Obama supporters that was lacking in every other candidates campaign - we put our money where our mouth is. We gave to him generously because he spent our money wisely and in ways we approved of.  Unlike other unnamed candidates that use money to launch deceptive and misleading negative ads.  I made a donation but I don&#039;t care for crowds however, if you were to attend I would sincerely hope that you have a great time.  Its on us - his supporters, so you don&#039;t have to worry about where the money is coming from.</description>

		<description>Ok a short rant.....I am amazed at how many people just want to spew venom so badly that they will pay no attention to facts or law to make a point. The money comes from his funds and donations. There are also voluntary tax payer donations that people give for these things. Ok....onto another rant it annoys me that people are up in arms about &quot;pay to play&quot; when people are expecting the very same thing when they vote for a person. They sell their vote for a favor or item in the future. Everyone one does it from unions, big oil, small business, evangelicals, you name it... everyone does it and the lines are often cloudy between legal and illegal. Is it right? Not often but...everyone has dirty hands.</description>

		<description>The country is on the brink of a depression and it&#039;s time to have a multitude of parties? any excuse will do? Obama continues with his foolishness: give the kiddies what they want so they will continue to support him. Make sure they get everything they want.</description>

		<description>Wow, the bitterness here is palpable, these events are not coming from tax payers but private donations. 

Mari- your right; hope won out  over fear, division and hatred !!

Some of you need to try to be  more optimistic regarding the future of the nation, otherwise you do the terrorist work for them. Surely we have all had enough of the present administrations failures, Bush and co have set the bar so low thast Obama&#039;s administration can not do any worse.</description>

		<description>These events are paid for through donations to his inaugration and a standard amount allotted from the taxpayers for every new president.  Please do some research before you make &quot;uninformed&quot; comments.  

Mr. Obama is our new president, whether you voted for him or not.  It would do everyone well to wish him the best for our nation/world.  If he fails, we fail.  I think that has been proven with Mr. Bush.  Look for the positive and hope that the Obama administration learns from the negative.</description>

Ah yes, the first annual meeting of the Hitler Youths.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wasn&#039;t aware that the Young Republicans were hosting a ball.  

Forget the silly Ball, life-winner, you&#039;d probably feel more at home hanging effigies of President Elect Obama from trees like your kind does in KY.

Tu es un imbecile.</description>

		<description>How are all these celebrations for all people when the newly elected elitist government makes all these balls &quot;by invitation only&quot;.  I figured that there would be more openness.  Is this a way to make sure that only certain people attend?</description>

		<description>Looking good!!!  I hope everyone can appreciate what I  believe PE Obama is trying to achieve, that of showing his appreciation for the young americans who supported him so passionately during his campaign.  In doing so he hopes to continue to keep their support and keep them engaged.

I salute you Sir, Pres-elect Obama.</description>
