It's good to be king...

For the last three years I have gone back and forth on obama. Is the guy a total incompetent or is he working some sort of master plan? I still don't know. He has very stealthly gotten everything he wanted. Every one of those things have been horrible for our Country. obamacare, cash for clunkers, bailouts, stimulus, on and on.

And even with all of those things, real unemployment is around 15%, gas is still over $3.00 a gallon, homes are still being foreclosed on at a record pace, the stock market is like a rollercoaster ride from hell, inflation is on the rise, food prices are on the rise, one in seven Americans is on food stamps.

Even with all of these awful things, I think the worst is the arrogance. He continues to prove that the rules don't apply to him, that he is above the standards that the rest of us are held to. When things are at their worst, he plays golf, or goes on vacation.

And not just any vacation. A vacation to an exclusive, expensive property in Martha's Vineyard. The rent on this 28 acre estate is about $50,000 dollars a week. But that is a minor expense compared to the security costs. This 11 day vacation will cost us, the taxpayers, millions of dollars.

But the part that pushes the disregard for the American people over the top is that obama and his wife couldn't even take the same plane on vacation.

I can't help but remember reading about ancient kings. The peasants were taxed to death so that the royalty could continue to live a lifestyle the common people could only dream about. We seem to be reliving those days...
