Pammy - I know the perception is that only wealthy people attended this event but it wasn't that way at all.
Ordinary people coughed up the $500 bucks cause they felt it was a rare opportunity to see a sitting US president "close up". It was a tough decision, as there were lots of other things we could have spent the money on... but at the same time how many folks will blow that on cigarettes, or lottery tix, or a few golf games, or keeping the temp in their house at 62, or designer shoes, or a few nights out, or the latest video games...
It's such a personal decision how and where one wants to spend their money, and personally, I don't regret this for a nano-second. The experience delivered memories that will last a lifetime.
So glad you posted this.. its good to get it out in the open!
There are few on both sides that I would pee on if I saw them on fire.
They couldn't have paid me $500 to sit there and break bread. Just wouldn't happen.
I detest everybody equally.
I wonder what Diane thinks are "regular" people? I'll bet no CAT line workers were there, nor Keystone laborers, nor anyone else who couldn't afford to take a day off work and pay $500 to go. La-la land
