Amid President Barack Obama’s admonishments of the American people concerning how it is necessary for them to change their lifestyles, give away more of their money, downsize their living quarters and trade their SUVs for battery-charged golf carts, there is one person who has no intention of doing any of these things, and that is Barack Obama.
This is best exemplified by his recent weekend jaunt to New York City with his wife on the taxpayer’s dime. That’s right; he didn’t pay for it; you did. How much did it cost you? The answer is tens of thousands of dollars, according to available estimates.
The truth is that while the American taxpayer is being bled, Obama will be living large while he’s in office and after he leaves office. He has no intention of holding himself to the same standards that he is brow-beating the American people into accepting.
While you’re driving a golf cart, he’ll be driving a Lincoln Town Car, if they’re still available. While you are living in a cardboard box, he’ll be in a mansion. While you’re sweating out the summers and freezing in the winter because you can’t afford your utility bill, he’ll set his thermostat wherever Michelle Obama tells him to. And while you’re vacationing on your back deck because you can’t afford to go anywhere else, he’ll be jetting to Paris for lunch.

I didn’t think it was over the top at all.
The left-wing have always demonized capitalism by it’s claims that the richest business leaders exploit the workers and live fatcat lifes that they do not deserve.
Socialism or fascism though both do not ever give everyone a fair amount of the wealth they just instead close down the free market and the wealth is distributed by political power instead of by a free market and liberty for all.
(Msnbc’s business channel was even runing some sort of special tonight about reforming capitalism - about how we need to reinvent capitalism so that all the people get a fair amount of the wealth.) This should be a warning sign to everyone that we are facing a socialist/fascist agenda by the left in this country.
Of course the democrat poliical elites will continue to live better then anyone else.
No, not over the top at all. In fact, rather subdued compared to the outrage one should feel at having this elitist pr**k preach to us one thing, then go out and do the exact opposite. I honestly don’t know how obama can live with himself. How does he sleep at night, how can he look himself in the mirror? The guy must be some kind of psychopath, seeing himself above all others.
Hey MSNBC - it's real simple. You want to "reinvent capitalism" this way? Let me save you the trouble, just look up socialism. There, done. Oh, by the way... Socialism has failed (in terms of a happy and prosperous populace) every single time it has been tried. That's right sports fans, a 100% failure rate. Now, are you sure you want to try reinventing capitalism?
