Am I the only one who resents seeing this program of how the Whitehouse is decorated and the big feast to come with all the "guests?"
My husband and I were watching this last evening and we were saying "wow, that is really an attractive piece." Then I thought wait, we're helping pay for that. While we're struggling to pay the bills after Uncle Sam takes 40% out of my husbands "hard-earned paycheck and high tax bracket" -- it wasn't so pretty anymore.
While they're living it up in x-mas (no christ in that house) style, what about the Katrina victims who still don't have help, still. What about all the families in grief over their dead loved ones who fought in the Iraq war or who are still fighting in Iraq for a lie out of Bush's mouth.
Do their sentiments really echo "Deck the Halls and Welcome All?" I will be the first to tell you they'd toss us (the people who funded the big garish shindig out the front door head first!
