Obama's Wagyu Steak Celebration

Spoken like a true Obamaite.

If you found out Bush was feeding $125 per pound steak at his dinner parties, would you still think it was a wise investment? Be honest.

I am not defending the CEO's and their bonuses, just pointing out the hypocricy of it all.

You don't see how hypocritical it is to tell the nation to make sacrifices, while your spending their tax dollars like your some gazillionaire?

Here is the comparison....listen closely please.

Remember during the campaign when Obama asked us all to make sacrifices? Remember him telling us we needed to cut our thermostats down in the winter and up in the summer. Remember him telling us how we need to tighten our belts and make sacrifices? Yet it came out this week that he keeps the thermostat at the White House set on 72 degrees..........you keep yours set on 72 during the winter? I have to set mine at 66 degrees in order to afford the gas bill myself.

A real leader leads by example. A real leader sets the tone for others to follow. A real leader doesn't require sacrifices from his followers, while spending like there is no tomorrow himself.......especially when he is spending our money and not his.

You doubt Obama likes giving parties....well he is the president you know. He does get to decide....nobody makes him do it. So why would he have a party and serve $125 per pound steak to our senators and congressmen....and their spouses....if he didn't want to? Couldn't he have served Ribeyes or T-Bones?

I urge you to stop following your political party blindly and approving and justifying anything and everything they do. If we as a people are going to save this country, we have to be willing to make a stand and statement against what we see as wrong, no matter which party is doing it. These two parties couldn't care less about you or me. It's all about power for their particular party.....not about our country and certainly not about you or me. That "several thousand" as you put it, could feed a shelter full of homeless people for a couple of months......yet instead it is squandered by politicians in a single hour for one single dinner party. Next time...how about serving meatballs on a toothpick.....what's wrong with that?

Here's the difference between you and I. You see a difference between these CEO's and our politicians, where I see them as being cut from the same cloth.

You want to try and defend our politicians and condemn the CEO's, while I think they both should be locked up.

You are trying to justify our politicians wasteful use of our tax dollars, by comparing them to these CEO's............when there is no justification for either.

Understand?

Obama attended the most expensive private school available on the island of Hawaii as a child, so I suppose your statement depends on how one defines "being born with a silver spoon in his mouth"? The majority of Americans send their kids to public schools because they can't afford private school.

Yes it is documented that he lived a drug filled lifestyle when he was younger and while in New York, slept in the streets because he had wasted all of his money on drugs, but this was a choice he made, not something that was forced upon him. He still managed to attend the finest universities our country has to offer, mostly at taxpayers expense.

So you can buy into the PR that got him elected and ignore the facts about the man if you like, but I believe we see two different individuals when we look at him.
