We all saw the lavish inauguration to the tune of about 170 million dollars. That seemed to be fine with all of the liberals who bellyached for months over the pittance in comparison for the Bush bash.
Apparently the beat goes on.
Only now the government is on the verge of bankruptcy.
People are losing jobs in record numbers.
The stock market tanks daily.
Home foreclosures are skyrocketing faster than record keepers can track.
At the Whitehouse they certainly do not want to miss a party opportunity … is that something like we do not want to waste a good crisis? All of this on the back of the taxpayer under the guise of governmental business? Still Obama takes every opportunity to leap on his soapbox and castigate others for wasteful spending.
No wonder Obama is looking a little haggard.
Apparently it is not only the business of the day but the party, party of the nights as well.
White House nightlife under investigation
‘This party atmosphere sends the wrong message’

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.
Now, Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, told WND today he’s seeking information about the partying in the White House since the Obamas moved in.
“Barack and Michelle Obama have been throwing taxpayer funded parties nearly every night with their ‘friends’ and supporters, with Michelle Obama even exhorting them not to ‘break’ White House property,” Klayman’s announcement said.
“This party atmosphere sends the wrong message to the American people. As the Obama-Clinton crowd party on, the American people are suffering greatly,” Klayman said.
“It was right to criticize corporate execs for using taxpayer bailout money on bonuses and corporate junkets. In the face of this criticism, it is an outrage for Barack and Michelle Obama to party on, as Rome burns. It’s like throwing a party at a funeral,” he said.
