Let's All Tighten Our Belts...Except Me -- Barack Obama

On his first day in office, Obama placed a salary freeze on Washington government officials making more than $100,000. His exact quote was, "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington." This announcement came on the same day that Obama spent $170 million on his inauguration--4 times more than Bush spent on his second inauguration which the media blasted as excessive and tacky given the fact that we were at war at the time.

Does anyone else see the double standard here, or is it just me?
