The US (and the rest of the world, for that matter) is facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Russia is growing in power and becoming more and more belligerent. Genocide is occurring in the Sudan. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is undergoing a humanitarian crisis of monstrous proportions. North Korea has the bomb. Millions of US citizens lack adequate healthcare. A billion people live on less than a dollar a day. The US is in more debt than is imaginable. The climate is changing with devastating implications. Drug cartels are wrecking havoc along our southern border. Our education system is in shambles.
With all these issues, do you really want to engage in a debate about the cost of a house being used by the president-elect? Really?
dont see a lota po folk runnin for president. after SNL and tina fry i doubt there is much sarah could do without catching it. is this post intended to cause moral outrage. like the one of him swimming at the beach with his family without a shirt.
I've stayed at the intercontinental hotel a few times. I could never afford to own it and nobody was expected to comp my ride in life. I had no idea all I had to do was petition RNC for freebies.
Until repubs made an issue of it I also never thought twice about lipstick on a pit bull errrr pig.

of course...........
Bingo.. that is the point... with all those issues the president elect just loves pointing out that we're screwed and he's living high on the hog and will continue to do so.. I still can't figure out how his voters said he will be good for the economy..since he was voted worst liberal senator of 2007 spending a record breaking $932 million for junk "pork barrel" spending in record time..while McCain has spent a little less than $1million in 21 years.. We are doomed.. He will live lavishly with him and family and inlaws on taxpayers money.. he will have several jets to accomadate all his friends and family.. we're doomed here..

All this about Obama isn't true, though it seems you really, really, really want it to be!

You'd also be someone to call Obama a socialist and yet, here you are, showing your true colors.
Obama is doing something he can afford. Get over it.

I'm not even going to address the charges about nepotism, which are just ridiculous. As for him being the most liberal, it's amusing that you chose to add the adjective 'worst' - he was identified as the "Most Liberal Senator," not as the "Worst Liberal Senator" - very different meaning. You know, many of us consider being liberal a good thing. You can disagree with your ideological opposition without being disrespectful.
As for the cost of the house he's staying in; he's not buying it and, more importantly, he's the president elect! He can't just stay in a Holiday Inn, he's got to stay somewhere that can be secured and somewhere where he has sufficient room to, I don't know... create an entire transition government? Every president we've ever had has stayed in places like this, it comes with the office. He's going to be staying in a much nicer house in Washington than he is in Hawaii, gonna complain about that too?
OK, so the President-elect is staying at a beach house worth $8 million. If the current President happened to stay at, shall we say, a ranch complex worth considerably more, then we should assume that's perfectly acceptable? I can't figure out why I have this strange feeling that someone had an agenda when they started this thread.
