Us peasants get scolded for spending excess while President Obama enjoys the surf at Waikiki Beach Hawaii

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

At a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Obama gave the American people a lecture on weathering the financial storm: "When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don't go buying a boat
when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash
on Vegas when you're trying to save for college."

Excuse us? Does Obama really believe families suffering hardship and
misfortune are buying boats and taking extravagant vacations? How dare
the president lecture the American people, who are struggling just to
make ends meet, when Obama himself fails to practice what he preaches? And as he chastises with one hand, he proposes even more economic hardship and misery with the other.

Obama’s reckless campaign of tax, borrow and spend is driving this nation over a financial cliff. According to his own
administration’s latest estimates, the federal deficit for this current
fiscal year alone is going to be a whopping 1.6 trillion dollars.
Broken down by population, that's
approximately 5,300 additional dollars of debt for every man, woman and
child in the United States... and that's just for this year.

Rush Limbaugh, in talking about the president’s budget, gave Republicans in Congress some sage advice, but it's advice we should all
follow as well: "Judd Gregg has been going
at these guys on the budget solidly for a year, and this, folks, is
exactly what we need to be doing. Every Republican needs to be saying
this latest Obama budget, for example, is DOA. They need to set the
tone for this... you gotta go hard at these liberals. You don't play by
their rules.... No, no, no. You go after these guys hard.... Do not
hold back on these people."

President Obama is sounding more and more like Sir Obama, King of America.
I wonder if Obama asked to see his REAL birth certificate while he was in Hawaii?
