The Obama / Liberal Double Standard

Let them have vacations

by Judson Posted on February 20, 2012

Media double standards are amazing and they never change. If a Democrat is in the White House, negative stories about them are either swept under the rug or minimized if they cannot be ignored.

Where are Michelle Obama and her children this weekend?

Good luck finding out about this on the drive by media.

So what is going on?

Michelle Obama and her daughters have gone to Aspen this weekend for a ski trip.

What is the reaction of most Americans? Gee, that must be nice.

Now, in Obama’s America, gas prices are driving towards record levels and may be there by Memorial Day. Unemployment, if you believe the cooked books of the Obama regime, is above 8%. If you look at the real numbers it is about 15%.

Many Americans are losing their homes and the only mobility in American society seems to be a downward mobility. Yet, this is now the 16th Obama family vacation in three years.

Do you know anyone, who even in good times takes five vacations a year?

Can you imagine what the drive by media would be doing if a Republican were in the White House?

A few months ago, CBS News, ever diligent in its duties to defend the Obama regime, pointed out that George W. Bush had made more trips to Texas at this point in his Presidency than Obama has.

Bush took trips back to his ranch in Crawford Texas. He did not go to luxury vacation spots.

And under the heading of facts are really tough things to deal with, at the time Bush was taking his trips back to his home, unemployment was under 5% and the economy was growing rapidly. Regular Americans could afford vacations.

Obama does not act like a public servant. He acts like a ruler.

Obama does not get the idea that leaders lead from the front.

During World War II, the King and Queen of England refused to be evacuated from London during the height of the blitz. Why? They were going to share the fate and difficulties of their people.

As for Obama? He would certainly like to be King or at least a dictator. But he is like all socialists. Who cares what the regular people are going through, as long as he has his vacations and his Wagyu steak? Wagyu steak, which is one of Obama’s favorites, goes for $100 a serving.

There is a new reality for many Americans over 50. Thanks to Obama and the Democrats, their jobs are gone and they are not coming back anytime soon. Many of them have now exhausted their unemployment benefits and out of desperation are trying to get on disability.

This is their new reality. They have gone from working to being a part of the dependency class. Their golden years are not going to be what their parents had. Unless things change soon, their golden years will simply be years of poverty, punctuated by claims every two years that electing Republicans will cause them to lose their disability payments.

American burns but Obama is not fiddling. He is off taking another vacation.
