Our Let Them Eat Cake President

The bottom line of being a public figure is that people are going to make all sorts of complaints and allegations about you, some true, in your opinion, and some not. And Obama, who promised change, has racked up some real zingers.

Four years later, here we are, four trillion dollars deeper in debt and with an unemployment rate at 8.5%, up from 6.1% when Bush left office. Maybe the first clue that things were going to derail was the inauguration bill. Many thought that George W. spending 40 million on his big day was extravagant, but then Obama outdid him by spending 150 mil., making his the most expensive inauguration in our history. Then there was the bailout of the auto industry and Wall Street without penalizing those responsible and illegal immigration, to name a few. The government should crack down on those sapping the system by not paying taxes, not reward them with free healthcare, a free education for their children and the right to sue when things go wrong. Even if Obama had the same skin color as the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz, few were going to be on board with any of this.

It is heartbreaking to see men and women groveling to take any old job and thwarting their dignity while our commander-in-chief and his wife party on. In the end, his campaign slogan shouldn't have been "change." It should have been "Let them eat cake."
