Suggestion for Obama to Start Off on the Right Foot

The following message was submitted to the contact page at Obama2.com.

Dear President-Elect Obama,

Please consider becoming an immediate Leader of our country, even as your Presidency begins. You and Michelle could suddenly and quickly become heroes the world over.

You could announce that, in light of the current economic crisis in the United States and the rest of the world, you are cancelling the elaborate party scheduled for Tuesday to show the way to a better tomorrow for all Americans. Instead of continuing the tradition of excessive spending for the Inauguration, you would simplify events – and take the Oath of Office on the Capital Steps with good security, but a minimum of frills and elaborate trimmings.

YOU could lead the way for all Americans to begin to use some restraint, reduce unnecessary expenditures, and help the less fortunate among us. Then all of us could take real HOPE and expect CHANGE from the status quo. Cancel the fancy balls, the designer ball gowns, the bands, all the fluff, and give the rest of the donations to causes which you designate as the main priories of our nation.

If, instead, you go ahead with a week of celebration that costs $ 160,000,000.00, when President Bush was criticized for spending $40 million for his Inauguration, then you will follow down the same path of “Same O, Same O” and other Americans will hardly take you seriously as a leader in a new direction.

Thanks for considering.

It would send a great message to all who are impacted by the economic crisis. Chance of happening? Zilch.
