On Tuesday, the grandest inauguration activities will take in Washington. Millions of people will be in the city to celebrate and welcome a new president. Big balls will take place in the evening, bars and restaurants will be open until the wee hours. Many people will pay thousands of dollars to stay and party in town. Many millions of dollars will be spent on an event that takes place every four years.
In the country millions ask themselves where will the money for the next meal come from. Home owners will be evicted their homes for not paying mortgage on time, while the banks will be stuck with value losing properties they cannot sell. Stores will close, factories will shut down and families will be shattered under the economic pressure.
The stark contrast between these two pictures tells a story of two worlds: the haves and the have nots. It's too late to humble the inauguration down, it's too late to explain why Obama's celebration is selfish, arrogant and improper.
On Wednesday, fixing the country has to start.
