Seriously, who does pay for these parties? I'm curious is all. I'm not trying to pick on Obama, since the article clearly states that this has been going on since the 1800's. I'm just wondering who foots the bill, and if it is indeed the taxpayer, why?

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."

I'm unsure of what you mean by the "it" in "who pays for it?"
Do you mean who pays the artists? It looks like the artists volunteer - all the articles I could find seemed to say there's an overabundance of volunteers - it's free publicity and great PR and some of them even think it's an honor to be chosen.
The cost of throwing a small party for those invited to come listen to the artists perform, that I don't know.

The "it" would be the cost to throw all these parties. There are people working, a room to decorate and set up, staff to coordinate, food to buy, security to hire, etc. Who pays for this stuff? Why does the gubmit need to throw musical parties on the taxpayers dime? Apparently this has been going on since the 1800's, so it's not a specific problem I have with one person. I'd love to see how many millions are wasted on crap like this annually. Oh, and you know they aren't ordering pizza's, or serving hotdogs and beans.

He has an expense account, for all this stuff... believe he wanted to "open" the white house again to various genres of music, no issue here... it is one of the perks of the office.
Here is the info from Wikipedia.. the only source I can find.. not sure if the money comes out of this account, or if there are other accounts..
The President earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.[13][14] The most recent raise in salary was approved by Congress and President Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001.

Once we stopped following the delegated powers listed in the US Constitution it really doesn't matter any more.
I agree with Dr. Walter Williams in this month's Imprimus by Hillsdale College: seventy-five percent or more of taxation is theft.Taking from the productive and given to the more numerous improvident and lazy.
Democracy is propelled by envy, doncha know. Bertrand Russell said something very similar to this.

That entertainment is not for what's being done here. That expense account is most likely an account he can use to pay for a dinner with an associate, or taking a client out to a ball game. The parties are something totally different.
