Obama Nothing But A Poser
02.07.09 (7:55 pm) [edit]
According to a Washington Times story titled "Obama Now In Combat Mode", the President is headed to a posh Williamsburg resort where he and the politburo will wallow in luxury ringing their hands about the deteriorating economy.
It is estimated that the trip will cost at least $80,000 with this tabulation arrived at by factoring in the $70,000 it will cost Democratic leaders to charter an Amtrak train to the event and the $11,000 for food and the $7,000 spent on entertainment at this leftist orgy back in 2003.
If these frauds were really interested in addressing the nation's problems, they'd drive there themselves, pack their own snacks, and go outlet shopping on their own dime like the rest of us when on break.
Better yet, they don't need to go there at all because what are they going to do over the course of a single weekend that they don't get done the rest of the week while they are in Washington?
Readers need to be reminded that the President going to this event was the candidate who at one time lamented about the American people eating what we wanted, driving SUV's, and keeping our homes at 72 degrees.
Real leadership consists of not placing a set of expectations upon those following you that you yourself are not willing to abide by.
If President Obama was anything more than a poser, he would refuse to participate in this ostentatious consumption at taxpayer expense.

Yeah, you raise some valid questions. But . . .
did you evaluate the costs associated with the Republican event a week or two earlier? Are you aware that the Republican retreat was partially funded by money from lobbyists.
If the parties must "retreat", I would rather they did so without lobbyists footing part of the bill and sitting on special committees during a gathering that's supposed to be for our lawmakers.
How much will it cost us after the lobbyists get to write another piece of Republican-sponsored legislation?
Hypocrites rule the day in Washington, no matter the party.
I'm the KeenEyedTruthSeeker, and that's my perspective.
