Talking "Liberal" is a dirty word.

I get my fill of hate from uninformed left-wingers on CD, guys like Bill Maher and just by reading a newspaper. Through in some hypocrisy to spice it all up and that prettyy much defines moder liberalsim.

Bottom line, I don't have the capactiy to be as arrogant as the President and I have a wonderful family, so I wouldn't want his life at all.

Thanks for your fair and balanced perspective.

As someone raised by a less than ideal family, I am not jealous about the Obama's. I only wish them well.

If I were making almost 2 million a year and my lady wanted to blow 50k on undies I would be glad to take them off and enjoy the results. Rock On, Obama!

Nancy Reagan spent a butt-ton of $ on designer clothing while she was in the WH.
Yeah, we shouldn't care about the multiple "vacations" that she takes on the tax-payer dollar. Especially when she and the kids fly somewhere first and then Barack has to take another plane (usually air force one) at a later time to meet up with them. Must be nice to vacation with my money.

I speak the truth. Black men statistically DO need to emulate Barack Obama. Jealousy might actually breed a life-change in a few black men. Whether that hurts your feelings or not is irrelevant to me.

No, I don't envy them. I have a husband and two kids too and I have never been one to covet tons of money, fame, or political office and all the problems those come with. I actually feel bad for them in a way because of all the scrutiny they are under all the time.

No, I don't envy the family, envy is for people who don't have their own life. I do believe all the celebrity party's and vacations we hear of constantly, should make us wonder. It seems this family that occupies the White House do more than their share of high end party's.

I do wonder if Sasha and Malia have always had these extravagant parties thrown for them or just since they've lived in the WH.

Didn't like it when Nancy Regan spent on china and such that would be replaced with the next person. Didn't like it when Laura Bush chose roses for the tree decorations, wonder how often those roses were replaced with fresh new ones. Money wasted is not something to envy, especially when the taxpayers foot the bill.

Its too bad more families across the nation don't try and pattern themselves off a strong family structure, what with the divorce rates over 50 percent.
Nope...I'm not jealous of anyone on this planet as far as I can think of.
