As if your blood isn't already boiling. Consider this report that charges that the Obama administration is living the high life on your tax dollar.
"Now we're up in the big leagues Gettin' our turn at bat."
From World Net Daily:
An organization that serves as a watchdog on the U.S. government for American taxpayers has launched a campaign to uncover exactly how much tax money is being spent on parties at the Obama White House.
Klayman said the reports of the partying at the White House, "with the likes of Steve Wonder and other high priced entertainment stars," will be the focus of document requests being submitted to the General Services Administration.
The requests will seek to determine how much taxpayer money is being used.
"Barack and Michelle Obama have been throwing taxpayer funded parties nearly every night with their 'friends' and supporters, with Michelle Obama even exhorting them not to 'break' White House property," Klayman's announcement said.
According to an ABC report, many of the parties have been on Wednesdays, and the report confirmed one featured a Stevie Wonder concert.
"This is a pretty big house, so we get lonely," the report said Obama announced. "It's hard for me to move around out there some times so I got to bring the world to me." Published reports said the Jonas Brothers were on hand in the White House for a special event for the Obama daughters, Sasha and Malia, on inauguration night.
Dinners have featured lavish menus including "Celery Soup, Wild Mushroom Crisps, Steelhead Salmon with Citrus sauce, Crispy Spinach, Toasted Saffron Couscous Pearls, Baby Iceberg lettuce with Maytag Bleu Cheese and Yogurt ranch dressing and for dessert, Milk Chocolate velvet cake" – all served on gold-rimmed china.

No need to saddle the Jeffersons with the Zeros. George Jefferson was a capitalist through and through who worked his way to the top.
The pigs in Animal Farm.
“The pigs in Animal Farm.”
Zing! That one left a mark!
Obama is not interested in functioning as a President. He merely wants to feed his narcissism with the accoutrements of the Presidency.
His actions only point in that direction.
Sounds real nice but I wouldn't call it lavish. More like some upscale yuppie gourmet health food bazaar.
Has anyone ever seen him eat ham? Pork? Bacon?
George and Weezie started out living next door to Archie and Edith. George worked in a dry cleaning shop which he saved money for and eventually bought. He then built it into the largest chain in the city. By the final run of the Jeffersons, I believe his chain was the largest in the Midwest.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
There's plenty to criticize obammy about---this stuff is just downright petty, IMHO. (and makes us look petty for repeating it).
“If you want pie, there’s pie!’’ the first lady of Washington tells the first lady of daytime TV, Oprah Winfrey. “If something breaks, it’s fixed. In an hour.’’
He’s ordered Lobster, and that’s not Halal.
I remember watching the show when ol’ George, giving a toast to his son’s biracial girlfriend, Jenny Willis, said:
“You’re half white—and that makes you half alright!”
Tell it, George! Testify!
HEY! It's for the Cheeeeeeeeeldren! You should be ashamed to question the Cheeeeeeldren shield!
They “got” my piece of the pie, too.
Just last night we sat down and had a discussion about the family budget. Never before have we been in the hole but somehow we fell into it and it’s getting deeper and deeper. We rarely “got” to go out or do any entertaining so it’s a matter of taking frugal to the next level. There will be no spending. We’ll be eating from the pantry and freezer which are, thankfully, well stocked.
