Obama always talks about “shared sacrifice”. Shared sacrifice?! I see the American people getting hammered by higher taxes and skyrocketing costs in everything from gas, food, health care and education while he and Biden gallivant all over the world on the taxpayers dime. These people either have no concern about this country and the American people, or they are just so addicted to spending and living a lavish lifestyle.

How much did Obama’s golf game with Tiger Woods cost us? It is estimated to be $1 million + or in other words it cost as much as 341 federal workers furloughed. What kind of slap in the face is that to the American people?

hobnobbing with all of his “rich” and powerful friends, who by the way are constantly demonized by his administration, while 47 million people are on food stamps! Does he really believe that the American people don’t notice?

Joe Biden gets in on the spending spree. Just this week we found out that he racked up a tab of over$1 million for TWO nights in London and Paris; $585,000.50 at the Hotel Intercontinental Paris Le Grand, a luxury 5 star hotel and $459,388.65 at the Hyatt Regency in London.

If they are going to blatantly live the high life, then don’t lecture us on “shared sacrifice”. A real man, a real leader would cancel golf trips, lavish parties and vacations until he saw that the country was on its feet financially.

I strongly agree with Obama on shared sacrifice to get the budget under control. Where we part ways is all the things you have mentioned and then some. You are right our so called leaders should be leading by example and taking pays cuts, benefit cuts, and cutting their staffs to the bone and paying for their own travel. It is not like they can not afford it since the majority are millionaires and will cash in on the lobbying game when booted or retired from office.

Maybe the GOP should not focus so much to minority recruitment, but instead focus on kicking-out "whiners". Wow, how did the GOP turn from the Party of Reagan to the party of Ol angry people and 12 year old cry babies.

Future Republican

They do seem to have quite a 'victim' mentality. Oh well. I try to steer clear of that personality type at all costs.

Great.. Maybe soon you'll be moving out of the diapers and able to wear big boy pants like most 8 year olds.

I find it ironic that this poster is referring to others as 8 years old.

I guess it's true - we do tend to see in others those qualities that we, ourselves, possess.
