A Date to Live in Infamy.

I remember, back before the Democrats destroyed the economy, and I was a high school student, I went on my first date. Well maybe not the FIRST date but one of the first. As it happens I later married the gal. At any rate, my finances were, shall we say, limited. We went “dutch”. I paid for the fuel (about a dollar, we were on a motorcycle) and she paid for the food (less than a dollar, we went to a burger joint). Yes,in the sixties, when the dollar was still worth something, two people could eat well for a dollar. (hamburgers and fries $.35, cokes $.05. free refills)
Compare that to what Obama did the other day. Depending on who you want to believe he and she went thru a million dollars. On a date. The foreign news are paying much closer attention than is our own news media organizations. Why is that?
I realize that comparing what a hardworking, teenage, middle american couple of the sixties did to what a …..er…..to what .. ….ummmm.
…..to the current occupant of the whitehouse is NOT a valid comparison. But stilll, A million dollars on a DATE?
That’s GOT to raise a few flags. Doesn’t it?
Me and the wife are staring bankruptcy in the face and it’s not a pretty sight, as are countless other families. Millions of workers in America have lost their jobs, their homes, their automobiles. Increasingly millions more are going hungry. The nation is threatened by foreign nations acquiring atomic weapons, (Iran and North Korea). The world health organization says that the world is on the brink of a devastating pandemic. Al Gore and Jim Hansen are almost panicy with terror regarding climate change and global warming. Muslims are shooting down american service men….in Little Rock Arkansas. General Motors went Bankrupt, Chrysler went Bankrupt. And on and on and on.
BAD things are happening. Really, really bad. (if you believe the Main Stream News Media)
So the President takes his wife on a date and in the process spends a million dollars.
In one night.
A. Million. Dollars.
What does this say about him?
Inquiring minds want to know.

He has always been about “do as I say, not as I do”. He has been traveling more now than when he was campaigning. You know how much it costs to fly Air Force One plus advance teams, plus staff and all the behind the scenes crap that goes into a Presidential trip?
His latest – He tells every corporation not to come to Vegas and they don’t. Not sure if it really hurt the economy any worse than it already was, but a lot of people still blame him for that comment even though Vegas is the cheapest convention/tradeshow/junkett place you can go to. But he was just here a few days ago and said how great a few days in the Vegas sunshine was. It’s all about him. How freakin arrogant!
Whatever happened to “lead by example” ??? Especially in these tough times.
