As the Obama family heads to Washington and life in the Hay-Adams luxury hotel until they move into Blair House, and then the White House, it's ironic that the President-Elect made points with the people by putting down the wealthy. Now he and his family excell in a life of luxury.
Granted, a first family can't live in a hovel, but many have extolled simplicity, while exhibiting dignity and class.

Obama cries, "Foul," to the Wealthy, Yet Langishes in Luxury in Hawaii
Lap of Luxury
Of course, we don't expect the President-to-be to vacation in a hovel with a dirt floor and no electricity. Yet at every turn, throughout the campaign, he seemed to be crying "foul" to those he considered the wealthy and promised to increase the standard of living for the lower and middle class.
According to reports, Obama and his family are staying at a $3,000/night residence while enjoying their lap of luxury vacation in Hawaii. Perhaps that's only considered middle or low income class. I imagine there are more expensive vacation abodes that might go for $5,000/night and higher, so $3,00o is economical.
It seems that the yard stick changes when someone measures their own life.
