And I heard they have scented antibacterial soap in all the bathrooms - do you think anybody is going to notice how his hands smell? What a waste of money!
That's nothing, my sources tell me that he actually uses toothpaste to brush his teeth. Toothpaste for gods sakes!!! While the rest of us are suffering & using tree branches, he's living in the lap of luxury w/colgate & an actual brush. The nerve! Oh but for a drop of that colgate, just a wee drop.
Jimmy Carter would go around and turn off lights in the White House and wear a sweater after turning the heat down. He was an idiot but at least he had the decency to at least make a showing of cutting back like all of us have to do right now. Just planting a garden at the White House for photo ops isn't enough. We all know the gardener takes care of it.
And Americans mocked his little fireside chat and that cardigan for years to come. Like you said, he put on a show. Would it make you feel better if Obama at least "pretended" they weren't spending any tax payer money? Would it make you feel better if you thought he was taking a taxi somewhere instead of Air Force One?
The purpose of the party on the president's turf was to put the squeeze on Congress to pass that loser Energy Act . Looks like it worked.
The purpose of the party was the annual picnic for congress and their families. Sort of like most businesses have a summer picnic. Granted, everything with that group is political, but it is no different from the previous picnics in that regard.

You have to admit that the timing would make it appear that way:
Great time at the luau on Thursday, Yea vote on Friday.
So when would they give a picnic that there wasn't an important vote coming up in three days?
I'm writing about appearances, not actual politics. I am not accusing anyone of anything duplicitous.
And as I've written -- the timing would make it appear that way.
