Well, if you want to put a "fine point...(on an) intellectual vacuum",...then try addressing the content of the link instead of trying to get everyone to chase your "bunny trails" that lead nowhere?
What's to address? The Inaugural Committee is being funded primarily by private donations. There is nothing wrong with that.
Content of the link addressed.
Now... have you figured out what transparency means yet? Because it does not mean turning down private donations for the Inaugural Committee.

Because the usual small Democratic donors are tapped out after the election campaign.

Same reason.

Reporting is not required for 90 days. And the FEC requires the detail which will be completely avaiable to you.
Did you whine like this during the recent Presidential campaign, when Bush-backers hid he names of people who had contributed hundreds of millions of dollars? Or did you whine like this regarding the two W. Bush Inaugeration solicitations? I suspect, as someone has already suggested, that you don't understand the meaning of the term "transparency" and that you really don't care ... except, of course, that this particular President is holding office. For your sake, I only wish President Obama could be elected to a third term.
thats a great idea, lets see,
I bet we could hit $50 trillion in debt w/another four years of that bumbling idiot.
I don't understand what there is that needs to be funded. All the inauguration consists of is him giving the oath of office, and we taxpayers pay for that.
I really do not like turning our inauguration of a president into a glitzy Hollywood like event, complete with a master of ceremonies announcing each performance act.
It's celebrating that we still have a peaceful transition of power in this country. Mitt lost. We didn't have a war over that. That's what inaugurals celebrate.
And yet... you fail to actually challenge a single one.
And threw a much larger party to boot.
That's it? That's all you've got?
Are you kidding? Just showing up and not forgetting to breath makes me look like Albert Einstein in your threads.
Have you looked up "transparency" yet?
It's quite easy to debunk your "little people are out of money" rhetoric. Fact is,...the true Obama is showing his ugly face,..the face that indicates he will do as he pleases this term, and to hell with transparency.
You keep asking for a a definition. How many people have to give you the definition of "transparency" before it sinks into your thick skull?
There's a free online dictionary. Feel free to use it, since it's quite apparent you don't have a clue about the meaning of "transparency".
Apparently Obama doesn't know the definition of "transparency" either.
Please tell him.
>>> Sure he does. Obama thinks "Transparency" is the right of transsexuals to adopt children and he's all for it. What do YOU think it means?
