According to Obama, all Americans must make sacrifices during this trying economic time. That is, all Americans but the Obama clan.
The night before GM filed bankruptcy, President Obama and Mrs. Obama flew from the White House to New York city for dinner and a Broadway show-- all on YOUR dime.
At a time when so many Americans are losing their jobs and homes, businesses are closing, the President lavishly spends your tax dollars to entertain himself and his entourage. Three private jets were used to transport everyone to NYC because it was more economical.
Now, didn't the President criticize the auto CEO's for using private jets to come to Washington? Hmmm, different standards?
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs refused to disclose how much the taxpayers just got soaked for, but British DailyMail estimated it at 72,000+ dollars.
That's really tightening up that 'ol belt Barrack.
