$50G: Inauguration Trip

January 20th 2009 will be another day that will be historic for Barack Obama, it will be the day he swears in as the 44th President of the Untied States of America, making him the first African-American to take the highest office in this land.

Since this is a historic event, thousands of people want to be in Washington D.C that week, taking this all up, but there is a price for this and it is $50,000 for a four day pack, including the parade and other events. This deal is good compared to President Bush’s $250,000 deal; there is some change, right?

All the money that is donated will all go towards the festivities. The Obama committee says they will not accept money from corporations, political action committees, labor unions, current federally registered lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens or registered foreign agents. However, they are accepting money from celebrities like Robert Zemeckis, Sharon Stone and Jamie Foxx, each of whom gave Obama's committee $50,000 and will get the 4 day package.

The package includes a nightclub performance on Jan. 17 and brunch the next morning, plus nighttime VIP seating at a concert that probably will take place at the Lincoln Memorial. The fun on Jan. 19 includes candlelight dinners around town with members of Congress and drop-ins by the Obamas. The Inauguration Day agenda includes four tickets to one of the 10 official balls in addition to tickets for the swearing-in and parade seating.
