Sacrifice, Obama Style
President-Elect Barack Obama, January 10, 2009:
"And eventually sacrifice from everyone?" I asked.President Barack Obama, June 1, 2009:"Everybody’s going to have to give. Everybody’s going to have to have some skin in the game," Obama said.
I know you've already seen more than your fair share of hard times. We saw 400,000 jobs lost in the auto industry in the year before this restructuring even began. I will not pretend the hard times are over. Difficult days lie ahead. More jobs will be lost. More plants will close. More dealerships will shut their doors, and so will many parts suppliers.Politico, today:But I want you to know that what you're doing is making a sacrifice for the next generation -- a sacrifice you may not have chose to make, but a sacrifice you were nevertheless called to make so that your children and all of our children can grow up in an America that still makes things; that still builds cars; that still strives for a better future.
President Barack Obama and his family plan to vacation next month on Martha's Vineyard, Democratic sources said.I'm sensing a pattern here: your sacrifice makes the Obama's indulgences possible. Keep up the good work, people. Obama's expensive tastes are counting on you.The trip has long been rumored on the island, where federal agents were reported to be checking out property last spring.
The plan puts the Obamas in one of America's most diverse resort areas. The enclave of Oak Bluffs has long been a favorite vacation spot for the nation's African-American elite.
So...how's your cake?

Hope and Change right? Is it too early to say "I told you so" to anyone and everyone that voted for this 'change'
HAHA, I'd leave it as a chortle if I wasn't so bombarded with how much things would change with this new president. So many promises that he can't back up. He promised anything to get elected, gay rights, billions for NASA, better relations with Russia. So far he hasn't done anything for gay rights, screwed things up with russia, (what relations?) and hasn't given any money to NASA.
