Ahh, the shared sacrifice. You can just smell it.

From Patterico
It Was Really Bad When Auto Executives Sought Tens of Billions of Dollars and Flew on Corporate Jets

But it’s cool for Obama to celebrate the passage of a trillion-dollar stimulus package with a celebration that includes wagyu steak.

What’s that, you ask? I don’t know either, but it apparently cost $100 for a 16-ounce steak . . . in 2004.

Well, you don’t want it to look like a schlock affair.

Ahh, the shared sacrifice. You can just smell it.

Wait a Chicago minute here.

I thought that The One had told us during the campaign that we can't just eat whatever we want, we can't keep the thermostat at 70, we can't drive just any car,.....

Could this possibly mean do as I say, not as I do; or you sacrifice and I don't because "I won".

For a guy that talks about sacrifice a lot, I don't see The Anointed One setting much of an example, but then maybe we are supposed to be pouring the expensive perfume over his head and he is supposed to accept the adulation, all that's missing is the beard.

By the way shouldn't our fearless leader be trying to encourage the nation instead of talking trash about how disastrous this all is and how long it will before we climb out of this hole? Even his second place hero FDR said all we have to fear is fear itself.
