Presidential Hypocrisy

I wrote this a couple of days ago after reading about the First Family's upcoming vacation plans.
Then, I decided not to post it. I guess I was thinking in the
POLITICALLY CORRECT mode.
Now THAT scares the heck out of me! lol

So, I forgot about being "POLITICALLY CORRECT" and quickly adjusted my thinking back to where it should be, back into the "COMMON SENSE" mode.
When did you all take your last vacation? THIS IS SIMPLY WRONG !
Then, seeing as we're in the mood to take shots at politicians and Christians, I said, "What the heck." I speak only the truth anyway; so enjoy this and then jump all over me for speaking my mind. The facts speak for themselves. What has this administration really done for us; the regular Joes and Janes in America?

A B S O L U T E L Y N O T H I N G !

GOD BLESS AMERICA AGAIN !

Simply another hypocrite,
No better than the CEOs;
You're misusing our taxes too,
It just shows how politics goes.

Mr. President, how you've lied,
About how we should all cut back;
Use our hard earned money wisely,
Another rat's leading the pack.

Only been six months on the job,
Yet, a vacation you need to take?

In August on Martha's Vineyard,
At a twenty million dollar estate.

Mr. Obama, this is so wrong,
Why don't you lead by example?
Make the changes that you promised!
Or is this simply a sample?

Of promises you leave unfulfilled,
You're failing in the ultimate test;
Political greed took you over,
Proves you're no better than all the rest.

I just had to voice my opinion,
As our veterans sleep in the street;
Sir, if you really care, then prove it !
Or were you just playing "Trick or Treat?"

Prove that all your critics are wrong,
Prove to us all you truly care;
That's the challenge I make to you,
But, I believe you won't take this dare !

Enjoy yourself on that island,
But do it with your own money;
Don't waste our taxes frivolously,
Show us all you're not just a phony.

Freedom of speech in this country allows people to express their feeling and you have expressed yours quite well in this timely write.
He has worked hard and taken on a big mess. I don't agree with all his decisions or handling of some things, but do feel a small, less costly vacation can be taken for a few days.....M

Excellent write Paul,and don't ever bow down to critics who think it's okay to pick other people apart, but don't ever say anything about their choice of politicians. Write on my friend!

HA! HA! HA! GO, OBAMA, GO
TAKE A DESERVED REST
REVIVE YOUR OVERWORKED MIND
WITH QUIET TIME...FOR ZEST
THEN WITH RENEWED CONVICTION
RETURN AND STAND THE TEST
SHUT THE MOUTH OF RUDE DOUBTERS
AS YOU CLEAN AWAY THEIR 'M E S S'

WHILE WE SIT AND POINT FINGERS AT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE AND SHOULDN'T BE DONE, ONE NEEDS TO REMEMBERS BACK EIGHT YEARS AGO, AS TO WHO OOBVIOUSLY MADE THE WRONG DECISION THEN. NOW, ONE MAN IS TRYING HIS ENDEAVOR BEST TO CLEAN UP THE OUTLANDISH RESIDUE FROM THE 'VAST' MISTAKE THAT WAS MADE. YOU HAVE ENDURED BEING LIED TO, YOU HAVE ENDURED THE UNNECESSARY LOST OF PRECIOUS AMERICAN LIVES AND A GROSS MISMANAGEMENT OF AMERICAN FUNDS THAT ALMOST BROUGHT US DOWN, BUT YOU CANNOT ENDURE THE IDEA OF A WORTHY LEADER, WHO WAS CONTINUOUSLY ON THE POLITICAL TRAIL FOR TWO YEARS PRIOR TO TAKING OFFICE 6 MONTHS AGO, SPENDING SOME 'ALONE' TIME WITH HIS CHILDREN AND HIS WIFE. TASK...TASK! AND BY THE WAY...ISN'T OUR CONTRY GREAT?! FREEDOM OF SPEECH...'YES WE CAN'! GOD BLESS AND THANKS FOR SHARING. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I haven't had a vacation, not even a weekend one in five years and I may never have one again. I'm relieved now if I have a roof and food. Medical care?? That's just an impossibility along with vacations. We need major reform with some mercy extended to the middle class and to Veterans.

Paul, there are those strong supporters of the Obama administration who might be offended by this, but we do still have free speech and we'd better damn well exercise it while we can. BRAVO for stating your feelings about frivilous spending by our so-called leader.

I was just as angry when I discovered Michelle had taken a hop to Paris and England on a 747 with her children to go shopping. Just imagine how much of the tax payers money was spent on that trip and how many hungry people it would have fed.

Very tellin-it-as-you-see-it, and with all due respect, Paul, and there should be no bar on that while freedom of speech still exists... whether or not it does, of course, is another issue. Though same the world over with globalisation in place, I'm afraid. It seems to be only the French (in our "united" confederates) who still lift two fingers to the rest of the world and get away with it... but, then again, twas ever thus. Ach well... speak while you may, Paul. We'll all groan along with you... xxx

Multimillionaires taking multimillion dollar vacations don't know how the real people live - they're ALL a bunch of liars and hypocrites. Time to get the government back where it belongs, BY the people, FOR the people. Sad - well penned, Paul, I hear you.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
