Congrats Chelsea, Now Let’s Move On

There, I said it.  Truthfully I’m happy for anyone that finds that special someone and is able to exchange vows with them and have that dream wedding that they’ve always dreamed of.  I just don’t like to see that be the headline topic of the news for at least a week or more.  Which is why I’m extremely happy that her big day has now come and gone.  I admit, it’s a little ironic that I’m ranting about her wedding being the attention of all, and then here I am talking about it.

My big grip is how much attention the media and news has put on this, and how much our public idolizes these type of celebrity figures.  Sure she was the First Daughter for 8 years, but that does not justify, in my book at least, constantly reminding us that the Clinton’s have invested an estimated $3,000,000 – $6,000,000 on this special day.  At a time when unemployment is again on the rise and at highs not seen for years, families across the nation are struggling to keep their homes and cars, and may even be trying their best to keep from slipping into poverty, celebrities and other figures spend (waste) lavish amounts of money, and our news agencies reports on it as if it is the most important news they could bring us each day.  Report on it a few times maybe, but not at every single broadcast possible weeks on end.  And definitely don’t name someone “Person of the Week” just because they are blowing money like it’s going out of style.
