So I listened today as Barack Obama scolded Wall Street executives for their bonuses last year, and while I was listening to him I couldn't stop thinking about the swank dinner party that Obama threw last night celebrating the house passing his massive spending bill.
While Obama is scolding executives for their spending, there seems to be no limit to what he is willing to spend. First, if you haven't heard, he has brought his "private chef" from Chicago to the White House. That's right, Obama had a private chef before he was president, doesn't everybody? The old White House chef will also stay so we will be paying them both to feed Obama and his family.
This just after the most expensive inaugural event in our nations history, just after his exclusive Hawaii vacation.
Anyway, back to last night, he invited a bunch of congressmen and senators to dinner to celebrate his new "pork" bill passing the house, which started with alcoholic beverages for everybody and included "wagyu steak" on the menu. I know, I know, what's wagyu steak your probably wondering? Look it up! It's meat that cost $125 per pound, and don't rush out to the grocery store to buy some because it's something reserved for only the upper crust of society, and our politicians since they eat on our tax dollar. This is change we can depend on for sure!
Don't even get me started on the spending bill that passed and created this celebration. My advise is take a look at the details for yourself. There is more pork in this thing than there is in the Jimmy Dean sausage factory! Creating jobs they say.....yeah right! It's more like political paybacks and buying votes! I feel sure your great grandchildren won't mind paying for all of this, since they are the ones that will pay.
So don't forget to turn your thermostat down tonight, Obama has called on us all to make sacrifices...remember?
In the mean time, he will continue to sacrifice as much of our tax dollars as he possibly can while in office, dancing around and shouting, "Yes We Can!"

[hippiehillbilly]

i just dont get it,even if it was privately donated you know damn well whoever donated it will write it off on their taxes,so we still wind up footing the bill..

how can someone who keeps calling for sacrifice in good conscience sit down and eat 125 dollar a pound meat??

oh wait,obviously he has no conscience ...

[Funkateer]

Get over it obamanites you were duped...
If you had any judge of character you would have seen it coming.
The only time he can speak is when he is scripted.
Otherwise its a bunch of ums ums ums and generalities!
I had hope in the guy at first then I realized he was bullshit.
Just as big a puppet as the rest.

fuck that guy, and basically all he truly represents and stands for

I paid $70 for a meal once.

[hippiehillbilly]

well yaya,,,did you pay for it with taxpayer money??

[TheGanjaKing]

actually, there was a time that I got an unemployment check, a fairly large one, included back pay. (this was way back when I was actually paying into the system before I became my own employer.) Anyway, yeah, we went out and ate like hogs, drank loads of alcohol, so thats sorta like doing it on taxpayer money, even though technically, it was MY taxpayer money from the unemployment system.


But the way obama the crook did it? no.

"...But I also believe that there are Israelis who recognize that it is important to achieve peace. They will be willing to make sacrifices if the time is appropriate and if there is serious partnership on the other side."

At least he's displaying a life style that Muslims can respect :rolleyes:

Technically, yes.

It was my salary from the taxpayers.

[hippiehillbilly]

unless you wrote it off thereby compensating for your lost income with taxpayers money it is nowhere near the same thing..

you earned the money for services rendered..

[RandomOne]

He's just.. stimulating the economy, yeah

[TheGanjaKing]

He's just.. stimulating the economy, yeah

thats probably the kind of shit excuse he would try to give too

[Fyrenza]

i was shocked when he said his thing about how politicians can't consider themselves above the laws of the land,

and yet he still refuses to provide his credentials,

proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt,

that he considers HIMself above the laws,

AND his cronies, whom he continues to defend.

It absolutely horrifies me to think that folks are STILL refusing to see all the evidence. And Bezmonov said they won't ~ until the Military Boot comes down on them.
