The “scam” is obama has said people may have to make sacrifices including giving up vacations.
If you don’t get that nothing anyone can say will help you see what you don’t want to

No, what you don't get is that I'm not a fair-weather conservative. I believe people should enjoy the fruits of their labor, without criticism based on class-warfare, even if that criticism is politically expedient. I don't like political expediency.

Obama makes more than I do. I imagine he makes more than you do. And, statistics tell me he makes more than most everyone, except for a tiny, tiny minority of super-rich.

If a president - this president or any president - says "people have to sacrifice", more power to him. In fact, I hope he says it more often and I hope he means it. And, if at the moment he utters those words, he's stepping on Marine One to take him to golf, or sailing or whatever it is a guy who makes $400K/annually likes to do to recreate, I couldn't care less. Why? Because he gets paid that much money and he should spend it anyway he damn-well wants to. That's how conservatives think.

I'm not a "class-warfairist", even if it would make me feel good to bash my political opponent.
