Critics who suggest that his extraordinarily expensive 50th birthday party celebration might be inappropriate given the current state of the economy were brushed off by President Obama.
“First of all, as we’ve been saying for the last two years, spending is what stimulates the economy,” Obama pointed out. “The more everyone spends, the better off we’ll all be.”
“Second, I don’t think the American people want to see their President suffer,” Obama went on. “I reject the idea that ‘misery loves company’ and I believe that most Americans do too. They are humble enough to gain vicarious pleasure from knowing that as bad as things might be for them, their President is spared from pain. It's kind of a 'viva le roi' thing.”
“Finally, even if I were to concede that the event is unacceptably extravagant, I am not the one paying for it,” Obama concluded. “No one can rightfully accuse me of wasting my money on frivolity. If my friends and supporters want to buy me a big party it’d be rude of me to say no.”
In related news, an unidentified spokesman defended the use of non-union labor at the President’s birthday party saying that the money saved boosts the net return for the President’s reelection campaign fund.

OMGa! The president is gonna “suffer” if he doesn’t have a birthday party? What a spoiled little 16 year old girl he is!

is this a gift , so does he have to pay taxes on it LOL
Think about the poor Arugula pickers and Kobe BeefEaters should Zer0 start to share the sacrifice.
John, if you just insert a couple ‘ahhhs, ummms’ this could be an official transcript.
Well done!
;)
It’s not “First of all”...its Let me be clear
BHO is nothing but a spoiled rotten Son-of-a-Bitch.
Second, I don’t think the American people want to see their President suffer
Au contraire my president!
That's really all he cares about.
Obama needs to be reminded that the grass roots of America decided to boycott consumerism as much as possible the day he was elected, and absolutely nothing other than his removal will regain consumer confidence, he cannot force, bribe, conjure or even plead for America to go back to anything approaching normal levels.
We have the power to NOT buy more than absolutely necessary.
And we can and will be just like that until he is gone.
I can say honestly my words can be repeated by many all across America. We The People are boycotting YOU Obama.
Spoken like a true American Dictator...”spending is all hunky-dory and a great thing to do as long as everyone is spending it ALL on MEEEEE”!!!!!!
We are in the throws of financial hemorrhage and he says spending lavishly on HI party is a Great Thing for the Economy?!!!!
President ME ... Downgrade!!!!
Obama, like all other textbook psychopaths, does not know the meaning of the words, “personal responsibility.”
BHO is nothing but a spoiled rotten Son-of-a-Bitch.
