Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Of late, President Obama has been imploring lawmakers to embrace “shared sacrifice” to help break the stalemate over the debt impasse while lecturing, “We might as well do it now – pull off the Band-Aid, eat our peas.”

But where’s the sacrifice from the President? While the rest of America is pinching its pennies, Obama is poised to jet off to a lavish 50th-birthday celebration in Chicago that will double as a fund-raiser for his reelection. This party will take place the day after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s arbitrary Aug. 2 debt ceiling deadline. The cost to attend the bash? As much as $35,800 a couple.

Then, later next month, he’ll head to the same palatial 28-acre estate he rented last year on posh Martha’s Vineyard for a family vacation while most Americans are opting to stay home and save money.

Everyone deserves a vacation. Especially the President. But does he deserve such a lavish trip when he’s doing such a poor job? To his credit, he canceled a fund-raiser/vacation in Montana this summer. But that was simply smart politics when the nation’s economy is sputtering and a debate over what to do about the national debt shows no sign of resolution.

This fool-a$$ writer goes on to say:

According to Gallup, the President’s approval rating stands at 42%. Rasmussen notes that 68% of responding voters feel the country is on the wrong track.

The excessive golfing likely doesn’t help. Since taking office, Obama has played 75 rounds of golf. In comparison, Bush golfed 24 times as commander in chief.

Aw boo-hoo…

So what exactly is he supposed to do? Sit in the house and wait for the phone to ring like some 8th grade school girl waiting for someone to ask her to the homecoming ball???

SMH

Are you offended by the amount of times that Barry O has played golf during his presidential term?
