Obamas to Party Hard
Let's hope the Obamas and the Bidens have their dancing shoes ready. The incoming first and second couples are set to attend ten official inaugural balls at five locations, including six at the Washington Convention Center. (The other four will be at the National Building Museum, Union Station, the Washington Hilton Hotel, and the D.C. Armory.) Invites haven't been mailed out yet, but tickets for a top sponsorship package, which includes the day's festivities, run up to $50,000. So how does Obama's schedule of ten inaugural balls compare with that of earlier presidents? Reagan had ten also, while Clinton hit a record 14 in 1997. Bush went to eight in 2001 and nine in 2005.
