He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone "up and down" with the stock market.

For the cost of hauling 500 people to the G20 meeting, he could have put over 100 through the most expensive private university on the planet with a free ride all the way to a PhD. What a phony, wasteful bastard he is.

Whilst the news has not yet been confirmed by the SPanish Government, sources told El Mundo that if it were to happen it would be a clear demonstration of the excellent relations currently between Spain and the United States.Bet that doesn't last long.

Obama says the first couple is "not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.""I just couldn't say that with a straight face!"

He couldnt possibly hold himself to only 1 lie per day! So the book will have to be called “ How I lied to the American people 10,000 times in a year.” For an average of 27 times per day, that sounds about right for Obozo.

Those sneakers at 500 bucks a pair would go for at least a semester worth of books.That, of course, assumes that the African Queen actually bought those sneakers, or any of the other overpriced garish rags that she struts around in.

Things are so bad that they could not even get new drapes for the Presidential dog’s personal jet.
It is really tough out there.

Hold on a minute. If Obama has public investments, aren’t those supposed to be held in a blind trust to avoid the appearance of corruption in presidential decisions regarding issues that might be related to those investments? Then how would he know the status of those investments?

Pretty insensitive of him. Absolutely repulsive.
I wish that we had a congress that would utterly GUT his spending accounts.

I agree. I hate to see people compare Nixon to Obama. There is simply no comparison.

Next time, the dog is going to have to be WITH the family and not in its own private jet. Times are tough!
