Parties?

Hands down I would defiantly have to agree with you about the ridicules amounts of parties or “state dinners” the President is expected to throw within his four years term. 50…? I completely agree that it is an absolute waste of money and that the money should be used on something that is a little bit more… necessary. And yes, I also agree that the amount of time that goes into all of this does indeed add up. I understand that the President has a life, and a family, and I do not expect him to be glued to his desk until his term is over, but I do not believe that the president should be accounted to hold 30 to 50 costly, 250 entertaining hours worth of state dinners. Heck, I think that they should even do away with the state dinners for now because our economy is doing so poorly; every penny counts. And not only that, the security guards that the President has… in the kindest words that I can find, suck. Honestly, I am really tired of hearing about all the extravagant parties, dinners, and dates that the president has. Is the money that contributes to all these events coming from our taxes? It better not be. To me it is starting to seem like Obama is looking more to be like a celebrity then he is our President. All in all I truly support Kailyn opinion of this matter. The time and the money could defiantly be put to better use.
