Cancel the Party & Let's Get to Work!

Here are his thoughts:
If President-elect Obama wants to make an eye opening statement about just how bad our financial situation is let him cancel all the fancy inaugural partying and spend the money getting Americans back to work building the green economy he says he wants. This way, he would hit the ground running on day-one in office and show millions of Americans who have lost their homes, their jobs and their life savings that he feels their pain.
Better yet, let's tell everyone not to spend their party money on lavish gowns, limos and caviar. Let's have the President ask potential partygoers to choose a green project and spend the money there. For your part, Mr. Obama, a good place to start would be putting solar panels, ripped out by Ronald Reagan, back on the roof of the White House. That would send a real message. While you're at it, take that inaugural ride down Pennsylvania Avenue in a hybrid.
We know everyone wants to party. We're happy about change, too. But ditch the fancy jewelry, gas guzzling limos and the imported water in those square bottles. Because those of us on the outside, with no pension money and wondering where we are going to retire, are not celebrating.
Mr. President-elect, we are thrilled for real change. But two months from now, partying may be the last thing on our minds. Start the ball rolling on Jan. 20th, and not wait until after the ball is over.
She's always across from me at the Casa Larga shows. I wish I was near her at the recent Museum show - she killed! She makes beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces and has a lot of repeat customers that even I am starting to recognize.

If you click over to his article, you can scroll down and read the comments, which range from the need to celebrate this historic event, to the Obamas should convert the White House lawn to a kitchen garden - to we need to spend to stimulate the economy, not save. All interesting stuff.

My jewelry designer friend Liz and his husband Leo are the co-ordinators for this first annual craft show fundraiser for their church. She told me she asked all her vendor friends to participate and she filled the place up immediately. She's definitely a high quality vendor so I'm eager to see who she has assembled.She's always across from me at the Casa Larga shows. I wish I was near her at the recent Museum show - she killed!

I will skip Ira. While it makes sense and word is he will already be assessing light bulbs in the Whitehouse, Ira would come after you and all paper crafters because you cause trees to disappear. :-)
