Obama''s administration has hit the ground running and is off to a good start. The one message that Americans must heed, is Obama''s call to service, for the Obama administration cannot do this alone.

If Obama were so concerned about the economic emergency, he would have cut the inaugural budget. His committee raised $40 million dollars for the inaugural. Why wasn%u2019t he concerned about the economy then? To attend a ball where the most of the food consisted of cheese and crackers, and people stood up the whole night, that should have been less than a couple of thousand dollars.

I hope Obama will do more reduce the budget when it comes to himself, not his staff and Americans.

Some people just can''t seem to stop the hate. The Inaugural Committee RAISED money from people who DONATED money who WANTED to PARTICIPATE in this historic event.

Well... you might as well get used to trying to find fault where this is none.

Were you as critical of any of the previous administration''s actions? There were plenty of faults there that you didn''t have to try to find.

This is all BS just to make Obama look good. Nothing is changing.

Nothing changes for those who are "stuck on stupid". Only an idiot would expect great change in one day--go take your meds--turn on Lintball, Hannity or Fake news, stay in your delusional little world and the rest of us will progress, better yet, I bet there''s available housing in Crawford, TX., but ole Bushie didn''t give a rats petutti about you while he was in office why should he now?

Don''t you get it?!? The balls were as much for the people of the United States as it was for the President and first lady. It was a way for the PEOPLE as well as the elected officials to CELEBRATE a turning point in history.

The title of this article should be: "President Obama achieves more for the American people in one day than Bush did in 8 years."
