What have Mr. & Mrs. Obama sacrificed?
Washington Alert: “Desiree Rogers Stages One Party Every Three Days In First Year of Obama Reign”
““Let the good times roll” – and roll they have at the Obama White House, while nearly 11% of the workforce remains unemployed, nearly four million Americans are losing their homes, and terrorists ride the open skies
“In fact, according to the Chicago Tribune, the stylish Ms. Rogers and the party-hearty First Couple hosted no less than 170 parties and social events through December 3 of 2009. And that does not even include the 17 parties and 11 open houses – feting more than 50,000 guests – ABC News reported the Obama’s hosted throughout the Holiday Season.
“For those not counting, that means by January, 2010, Ms. Rogers had staged one gala White House event every three days throughout the first year of the Obama Administration, making the once austere Executive Mansion look more like party central.”
Apr 2010 - With BP oil flowing freely in the Gulf , Mr. Obama decided to duck out for a quick family vacation in Asheville, North Carolina.
May 2010 – Mr. Obama takes his second vacation since the BP oil spill began, this time to Chicago, leaving Vice-President Biden to attend Memorial Day ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery.
July 2010 – “Obama took the family to Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in Maine to relax as a reward for skillfully avoiding even the appearance of competence in the BP disaster.”
Headline: Morning Sentinel - “White House wanderers tour Acadia”
“. . . Arriving in a small jet before the Obama’s was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president's personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.
"We're ready. We're going to do it all," Love said with a big smile.
“Air traffic at the small Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton was shut down for the presidential arrival. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter patrolled the air in anticipation of the first family's touchdown, and a pair of local fire and rescue trucks stood ready on an otherwise empty tarmac at the private air hangar.
“The Obama’s then traveled onto Mount Desert Island in a motorcade of at least 16 vehicles. It was led by two Maine State Police cruisers and included five black Chevrolet Suburbans . . .”
Headline: Obama’s ‘Mandate for Sacrifice’ Costs Thousands of Jobs
“As many as 100,000 Americans who lost their jobs, or will soon, because of GM and Chrysler dealership closings can thank Barack Obama and his "mandate for shared sacrifice," according to a top Obama official.
In a scathing report on the federal auto industry bailout, Special Inspector General Neil M. Barofsky notes that the Obama administration rejected initial automaker plans which would have required relatively minimal dealership closings, insisting instead on far more drastic cuts -- as many as two thousand dealerships between the two corporations.
August 2010 – Mrs. Obama and daughter head to Spain for a “private mother-daughter” trip with forty of their friends, staying at hotels at $2,500 per night. The cost of flying in government transportation is over $450,000.
Again, what have Mr.& Mrs. Obama sacrificed?
They have not sacrificed. They are not sacrificing. They are enjoying a progressive-socialist imperial presidency built on the demands that others sacrifice while they collect; that others service while they are served.
“It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of service and sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.”
-Ayn Rand, 1943, The Fountainhead
