With 3 Parties On Tap For This Week… Obama Tells the Little People "I Feel Your Pain"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 14, 2010, 6:58 AM
In January 2009, before he signed his failed $787 billion stimulus bill into law, Barack Obama lectured America saying,
“Everyone must sacrifice for the greater good… Everyone must have some skin in the game.”
Everyone but the Obamas.
Barack Obama told supporters yesterday, “I feel your pain.”… But, he forgot to mention during all of his emoting that he has three parties planned for this week– One on Monday, one Wednesday and one Saturday.
The Hill reported:
On Monday evening, the president will welcome collegiate star athletes to the White House for a reception at 5:45 p.m. The annual event, first held by former President George W. Bush, recognizes outstanding student athletes in more than a dozen sports, including field-hockey, lacrosse, and volleyball. Neither of Obama’s alma maters, Columbia University and Harvard University, made the grade.
On Wednesday the First Couple will don black tie for the annual Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, one of the more entertaining political galas of the Washington fall season. A number of entertainers are being honored with awards, including Eva Longoria Parker, five-time Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, and musician Sheila E. Also participating in the festivities will be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Hopefully the Obamas get some rest Thursday or Friday, because they will be back in formalwear on Saturday night for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s (CBCF) annual Phoenix Awards dinner. The dinner will mark the culmination of the foundation’s 40th Annual Legislative Conference.
Maybe he’ll feel our pain between drinks.

A teenage in Britain has been banned from the U.S. for referring to Obama as a ‘pr*ck’ in an email he sent off after a few drinks. Just google it to read all about it. I wonder what Obama would do if someone really told him how they felt.
Party on Obama – nobody will ever love you as much as you love yourself.

He feels our pain because he CAUSED it.

Whew. What a labor-intensive week. He’ll need another vacation to recover.

ohio commented:
Obama has scheduled an important back-to-school address to the schoolchildren of the United States today, hopefully during the entire math lesson — carried online and via national television into any classroom.
His topics will be:
How can I improve my golf game?
Where should the Obamas vacation next?
How long have your parents been racists?
down with dems commented:
The title of the 3rd top story on the Yahoo homepage, courtesy of the AP, is also quite amusing:
“Obama: Students should work hard and focus on school”
So remind me again… was he elected president, or was he elected Captain Obvious?

Not to worry. The NOTUS is getting ready to have his power base removed. Kinda like a vasectomy, IF he had any huevos. Powder is dry
Larry commented:
“Have some skin in the game”?
That is one of our biggest problems, almost than half of Americans don’t pay income tax. They couldn’t care less about how much everyone else pays because they “have no skin in the game”!
