Livin' Large On Your Dime

reports
that Barack Obama will be spending ten days over Christmas and New Year's at a
$8.9 million estate in Hawaii at a rate of at least $4000 per night, according
to ABC News. Obama spent last Christmas there as well when he was
president-elect.
As the American people are still caught in the grips of the recession with
unemployment running from 10% to 16% and the federal budget blown out with
Obama's massive deficit spending, Obama is living like a king with no criticism
from the mainstream media.
ABC describes the estate with no mention of the incongruence of Obama's
extravagance with the wrecked Christmases of tens of millions of Americans one
year in to his failing presidency:
The Obamas' rental property is 7,000 square feet of paradise on the southeastern
coast of the island, complete with large open spaces built around a lagoon pool.
...It's also not cheap. Staying in this $8.9 million house, which Zimel has
dubbed the "Obama Winter White House," will cost around $4,000 a night. The two
houses next door will be occupied by Obama family members and friends.
While ABC News ignores Obama's "Let them eat cake" attitude, the New York Daily
News flat out
lies for Obama on his self-indulgent Christmas:
With so many Americans hurting, the White House is smart enough to know that
they don’t want to flaunt their good fortunes on those who are without...The
First Family heads to Hawaii tomorrow for a well-deserved tropical Christmas.
It's good to be the king!

I find material at www.theobamafile.com frequently that I like enough to lift and post here. The old man is an excellent researcher. A note on his site states that "The United States Library of Congress has selected TheObamaFile.com for inclusion in its historic collection of Internet materials". I've heard that he lives on just social security and his principles. He has a donation spot on his page. I've donated a few times by PayPal but it looks like credit cards will work too. If you have any spare cash left in this Christmas season, I strongly recommend this worthy recipient. - I just decided to be the first donor in line. - Thanks,
