Over the weekend i watched the Presidential Inauguration concert, and it was amazing. there were so many awesome famous people that gave speeches and sang patriotic songs. and also there were so many people that were in front of the Lincoln Memorial. it amazes me that for the actual inauguration there wiil be even more people there. the whole concert just made me feel good. and it seemed the same for the audience who started channting "Obama" over and over again. it was very powerful to see that many people doing a chant for one person. there were a couple of things that i laughed about during the concert. during some of the performances Obama was standing up clapping and dancing, he seemed very loose and comfortable, it was very funny to me. also another thing i thought was funny was when beyonce came on stage one of Obama's daughters started taking pictures of her(this was after she seemed very bored the whole time before). it was as if the girl would never see beyonce again even though her dad is the president. if she wanted she could hang out with beyonce let alone just take pictures of her. but over all i thought the concert was a very compelling experience to watch and i am very excited to watch the actual inauguration that is coming up.

I think most people choose to ignore that Obama is making history ALL over the charts-- including notching the most expensive inauguration in history, estimated at a little over $194 million. At the time of Bush's swearing-in, people were in a tizzy over the roughly $42.3 million spent, because we were in a perilous time, if you will. However, now more than ever, we should be cautious with our spending. We are deeper in war, deeper in debt but were throwin' out 200 mil. like its no big thang? The inauguration celebration was very inordinate and shouldn't be endorsed.
