Ask: how is the Obama inaugaration funded?
From India. I have been following the Obama campaign and the whole thing is quite inspirational.
It seems people have started to look up to Obama (like me) and there is a small question of how the inaugural is funded? I mean why spend so many millions in such difficult times? Do people need to purchase tickets for this?
- smountcastle 18y agoA portion of it is funded by tax payers, the remainder must be raised by Obama's team: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/18/obama.fundraising.transition/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/18/obama.fundraising.tra...
- awad 18y agoTickets were made available to the public through their elected representatives, free (though EXTREMELY hard to get).
