Expensive vacations, Christmas trees galore, no compromises on taxes or spending cuts, no desire to reach across the aisle, class warfare where being successful is to be punished.

When is our President going to apply his own words to himself and his administration? He is the one who used the term "shared sacrifice" (multiple times). It is about time this sorry excuse for a leader stepped up and started heeding his own advice.

Liberals, why aren't you holding him more accountable? More liberal hypocrisy?

Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

The liberal elitist ruling class - Obama sees himself as above everyone else. Why else would he have exempted himself from Obamacare?

So, do you think Obama should move his family into a two-bedroom apartment in Anacostia and greet world leaders there?

Should he travel everywhere by Greyhound?

No, how about cutting back on the vacations, cutting back on the lavish dinners, cutting back on the spending? This is not "do as I say, not as I do".

Is cutting down on the president's vacations part of your deficit reduction strategy? You should have talked to your ol pal Bushy boy about the issue since he set the record. And seriously, the man has what's basically a 24-hour-a-day job, so he sacrifices every single day while you get to hang out and type things on a message board. He's far from the most lavishly living person in the country. I don't think it's great if he recklessly skips town (you're assuming that it's reckless, I'm not because I actually don't know what's going on in Washington), but really what matters at the end of the day is whether or not he gets stuff done.

He's not eager to reach across the aisle because he's already given into Republicans while receiving little in return, and the current cast of characters have been some of the most anti-compromise lawmakers ever. Obama wants to help the country, while Republicans think it's worth hurting the country to spite Obama and Democrats.

we are holding him accountable, we aren't letting him give into the republicans like he did last year.

What a bazaar post. Romney had the backing of the richest plutocrats in the country who personally donated nearly a billion dollars to defeat Obama --and Obama is the elitist?

Where is Obama's "Shared Sacrifice"?

The same place as all the other politicians shared sacrifices, they'll take less out of our pockets in 2050....
