Deal with it. Technology is not cheap and until Obama nobody has has had a chance to push and implement new and alternate forms of energy. Get ready we'll all be greener after Jan 2009.

Do you think that the Republicans aren't also spending millions on their convention???? of course they are. DUH. What rock have you been living under. The conventions are all paid for with private money raised specifically for that purpose - both parties do it. it is no big new thing.

Where's all the "green" that these dem leaders talk about? Completely overhauling a facility that houses professional sporting teams as well as entertainers because it's not good enough for the leaders of the party? Then Obama needs to hold his acceptance speach at a completely different facility than the one that all the construction is being done at. Very green indeed. Yeah, shoving your green notions about lightbulbs and greenhouse effects down the public's throats is what you do but not what you preach. Spend millions on a brief period of time instead of giving it back to the public and doing something for those of us who support you. You can bet my vote WON'T be for Obama.
