There's been a lot of talk about Michelle Obama's Inauguration Day outfits but what about the President-elect? Barack Obama has chosen Illinois-based Hart Schaffner Marx to create his tuxedo for the inauguration. MSNBC says this is Obama's first tuxedo in 15 years. It generally sells for $895 and will join Obama's many other Hart Schaffner Marx suits, He already picked up six suits from them earlier this year to wear on the campaign trail. The company is an American, union-made manufacturer.

Dear President Elect Obama, I am extremely disappointed with your choice of Rick Warren as Invocation Speaker at your Inauguration. Please reconsider. I too applaud Diversity but this man is the anthisis of that noble cause. He insults gays, pro-choice, Jews, Muslims as well as Christians who disagree with his tirades. I have supported you as has my family and have so looked forward to your presidency. No matter the content or wording of Warren's prayer, this bigoted man does not represent my beliefs or that of all my loved ones. Lyn tebrugge
