Critics attack "lavish" Bush at time of war
Reuters reports that "President George W. Bush is drawing heat over a $40 million splurge on inaugural balls, concerts and candlelight dinners while the country is in a sombre mood because of the Iraq war and Asian tsunami.'Bush said he rejected such criticism. "It's important that we celebrate a peaceful transfer of power ....You can be equally concerned about our troops in Iraq and those who suffered at the tsunamis (and) with celebrating democracy," Bush said in a CBS News interview released on Monday.'
Transfer of power? Wasn't he re-elected?
