Ever notice that no matter what's happening ... people losing their jobs, markets crashing, companies going bankrupt, Obama has a big smile?
President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama landed in New York Sunday afternoon, and after taking a helicopter from JFK into Manhattan, drove up the West Side Highway, where the northbound lanes were shut down by police for their visit, past Ground Zero, into the Village for dinner at the Village's Blue Hill restaurant. From there, they went north to Times Square, where they went to to see a production of "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" at the Belasco Theater on West 44 Street.
Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest read a statement from Obama: "I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished."
Asked about the cost of the trip, ... coming just ahead of the expected announcement of GM's bankruptcy filing on Monday, Josh Earnest told pool reporter Dave Michaels of the Dallas Morning News, that he "didn't anticipate being able to provide a cost estimate tonight."
Ever notice that "leaders" in third world hellholes always live the good life even as their people line up for food and do without?
“….immigrants from Eastern Europe were not just gawking at the supermarket shelves in wonder – they (us, me) saw in their mind’s eye their previous life: in endless queues for the barest necessities, the everyday battle of wits and connections to get a block of toilet paper or a pack of oranges for the baby – and they realized how much of their productive life was wasted, never to be returned, gone. I doubt you could truly empathized (sic) with that feeling.”
I'm starting to get that feeling that we're watching a politician with the political class of a third world potentate.
