The Obama’s Shared Sacrifice
Dec 13th
President Obama spends a whole lot of time harping on about “shared sacrifice”. It’s part of his class warfare, identity politics, make-us-all- hate-each-other, re-election program. So while he jets off for 17 days in Hawaii, we get to stay home and wave. I guess his sacrifice is spending time with Michelle. And our benefit is getting him off our TV’s for a few weeks.
Despite the fact that Obama’s will not be in the White House for Christmas, and so many people in the country are aching because of a horrible economy imposed on the country by an inept administration, the first family has erected 37 Christmas trees in the White House this Christmas. Apparently they plan to do what so many others cannot afford to this year. The first family will endure the smell of pine even if kids all over the country can’t afford to.
in addition to the 37 Christmas trees, the Obama’s are thrilled about their 400 pound gingerbread house. But don’t worry, Michelle has pronounced a theme for her Christmas extravaganza: “Share, Give, Shine.”
That’s right. The Obama’s thumb their noses daily at the problems the people in this country are having because of their bad policies, but make everything okay with a theme. Apparently the first lady wants us to share and give, while she plans to shine. But she doesn’t. Instead, channeling Kim Jon Il, she assures us that the memory of her riches will be enough for those who are hurting:
“I know for some of you, this holiday season will be tough, she told some But hopefully, it’s times like this that make you know that you live in a grateful nation, and that we are just so inspired by your sacrifice. And hopefully, this is a memory that will stay with you every holiday season.”
Oh the memory will stay with us for a long time, but not for the reasons Mrs. Obama thinks.
Here come the graders

In a moment of masochism this morning I turned on MSNBC. The panel of 37 (okay that’s a small exaggeration) was beside itself over Rick Perry’s comments Sunday about President Obama’s birth certificate. And if that wasn’t bad enough, how dare anyone request to see Obama’s grades in college?
Having read those comments several times now, I see absolutely nothing in Perry’s words that is not true or make him a birther. When asked what he thought about the birther issue Perry said:
I don’t have any idea. It doesn’t matter. He’s the president of the United States. He’s elected. It’s a distractive issue.
In Lamestream media speak that qualifies you as a birther.
Perry also brought up the president’s missing grades. The MSNBC crew ignored that part, apparently until they figure out how asking for the president’s grades is racist. Does that include Herman Cain or do we have a separate category for mixed race people born in Hawaii who went to private school.
Just asking.
Sworn to secrecy!

One of the vicissitudes of blogging is that someone always says it better than you, and faster too. I guess that is why we have the cut and paste function.
Over the weekend at JOM we were laughing about the report out of the White House that President Obama sometimes sends money to people who write him letters. The President does not, of course want to advertise his amazing generosity, we are told, so keep it to yourself.
Over at PJ Tatler, Clarice nails it, as always, with the help of JOMer BGates, who really should be hired by Jon Stewart to give his show a hint of reality.
Every night before he goes to sleep, the president of the United States reads 10 letters from the pile of 20,000 sent to him by Americans every day. Sometimes, he writes back. He’s even, on occasion, included a check.
“It’s not something I should advertise, but it has happened,” President Barack Obama told reporter Eli Saslow,
bgates, that cynic isn’t buying it:
A check. Not cash. Something with a signature. And then the people who were so desperate for help that they wrote the White House to beg for money, whose financial problems were solved through the personal intervention of the President of the United States – they quietly cashed the checks and went on with their business. Or, maybe they tried to get the story on the local news but the hard-hearted reporter types didn’t see an angle. “What, President saves family farm from bankruptcy? There’s no story there!” Until finally, after years and who knows how many instances of this selflessness, we finally hear about it from none other than Captain Reticent himself.
This is quite possibly the stupidest lie I have ever heard from an adult person.
At Clarice’s suggestion, I plan to offer a prize on my radio show to anyone who can produce a copy of said check. (Has anyone researched to see if the Obama’s actually have a checking account not labeled “US Treasury”?

If you weren’t appalled enough by the recent comments against the Tea Party then brace yourself for those of the Dept of Justice. Yup it seems that Obama has made suggestions to businesses to self report financially responsible people who pay in cash, buy waterproof matches and other survivalist supplies to be personal responsible for yourself. Evan to track those who are concerned in the dollars devaluation and buying some Canadian Money.
(Something that If you haven’t thought of already, you should, as Canada has a balanced budget and their money is valued higher than the dollar right now.)
So add to offending comments by Joe Biden, John Kerry, Maxine Waters and the red hated Floridian legislator, this curious report from vision to America regarding the dept of Justice.
Miss George Bush yet? I do!

Rick Perry’s speech Saturday announcing his run for the presidency was one of the best political speeches I have ever heard. If you didn’t watch, read it at the link above.
My favorite line of the speech: And I’ll promise you this: I’ll work every day to make Washington, D.C. as inconsequential in your life as I can.
Go Perry!!
