Goodbye To All That
Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions
Stem Cell, Climate Rules Among Targets of President-Elect's Team
Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team.

I don't know where you live, but you cannot buy a house around here for $100,000 even in the dumpiest of neighborhoods. There are many many areas in this country where you have to spend at least half a million, but more general million dollars and more to buy an average sized house.
$100,000 is not much money at all for renovations/redecorating.
I'm not sure why you're replying to this post, but whatever.
Anyway, I'm not saying it would be a nice house by any stretch of the imagination, and maybe it would be more like a condo, but I guess given all the people that are losing their homes lately, it just seemed odd to think of $100,000 as not enough for decorating.
