Barack Obama is so out of touch with middle America that it's hard to imagine. After weeks of bickering with Congress over the national debt, Obama jets off to Chicago for a lavish 50th birthday celebration.
He invited about 1,000 of his closest donors. . . I mean, friends, to a huge birthday bash / campaign fund-raiser. It's kind of sad that his "friends" had to pay to go to the party. Some paid nearly $40,000 to attend the extravaganza! The highlights of the night were when Joe Biden made a toast after having a little too much to drink and then Nazi Pelosi popped out of a cake.
Now that the debt dilemma is behind him (for now, anyway), Obama can concentrate on doing his job. In other words, it means he will be campaigning full time for his re-election. He's already well on his way to raising $1 billion for his campaign.
Did you get that -- $1 BILLION!! That's more than any other presidential candidate has ever raised for an election campaign. Meanwhile, the country's economy is still spiraling downhill fast.
I have an idea. If politicians can raise all this money for their campaign war chests, why don't we have a fund-raiser to save the economy? I'm sure that billionaires like George Soros and Donald Trump would be glad to kick in a couple of million dollars. We could wipe out the debt in no time.
Instead, Obama and the other candidates are too focused on their political futures to try to come up with a real solution to the debt problem. They're out of touch with reality. When will they start doing what's best for the country instead of trying to save their own skin in the next election? Sigh....
Well, happy birthday, Little Barack. I have a gift for you, but it won't arrive until next year. It's a personally engraved eviction notice from the White House. It's from the whole country, and it's something we can all use!
