WASHINGTON -- President Obama says he can relate to the plight of Americans striving in the struggling economy to pay bills while saving for their kids' education.

Saying this with a straight face as he goes off to Martha's Vineyard, rounds of golf, and a posh hotel in Spain in August.

If Americans believe this tripe, they deserve this pig.

Maybe he and Michelle should knock off a couple of vacations each month.

They will get free rides at whichever Ivy League school they wish and everyone knows it.

The poor kids ejected from Sidwell Friends will get jack.

Obama made millions from Bill Ayer’s book “Dreams of His Father” as well as “The Audacity of a Dope.”

The Dear Leader can spout the most offensive tripe, and the MSM, as his public relations agent, covers and spins as necessary.

He really does act with the unconscious arrogance of a Thirld World dictator.

“Today, the President released his 2009 federal income and gift tax returns. He and the First Lady filed their income tax return jointly and reported an adjusted gross income of $ 5,505,409. The vast majority of the family’s 2009 income is the proceeds from the sale of the President’s books. “

My heart bleeds for them...

All “average American people” make over $5 Million a year, sure.

It’s true. Michelle had to give up her phony $300K a year job to move to DC. The important position was then filled to replace her with... Oh yeah. it wasn’t. It was a phony crony position that ceased to exist when she left.

She was diversity coordinator for a hospital.

That makes as much sense as diversity coordinator for a diner.

I hope he keeps on sticking his foot in his mouth like that. The good Lord knows that America could use the comic relief.
