Obama: We’re “Not That Far Removed From What Most Americans Are Going Through”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 7-26-10 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 07/26/2010 12:09:59 PM PDT by Justaham

The president told ABC that his family is not that far removed from what most Americans are going through right now. Really?

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.

He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone “up and down” with the stock market.

Obama says the first couple is “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.” He tells the network “it was just a few years ago that we had high credit card balances, we had two kids, thinking about college. We had our own retirement accounts, wondering if we were going to be able to get enough assets in there.”

The timing of this thread is funny. The thread just prior says Michelle just booked 30 rooms in Spain at a five star resort.

Yes my wagu steaks have gone up in price and my personal chef is threatening to go on strike if I don’t take some taxpayer dollars and set up a hundred million dollar retirement fund for him.

Of course. I host private concerts with top performers all the time. And of course there are those every-other-week vacations to pricey destinations. Then there's those trips to Europe with friends my spouse takes all the times.

ZerO is such a buffoon.

There’s no switch — he’s hardwired for stupid. The only way around it is to remove power. ;-)

True. Like many lazy and under-qualified Americans, Obama is at risk of losing his job in the next 2 1/2 years. I just pray that we have a free and fair election at that time, one that is not canceled due to “the crisis”, whatever crisis Obama and Pelosi feel a need to instigate or invent.
