Do you think Obama's having fun in India?

Because I'd sure hate to think that a little thing like the fact that the U.S. economy is still in the toilet could cramp his style. I don't know what he's doing today but I'm sure it involves luxury cars and fancy locations and expensive food and plenty of people to cater to his every whim.

Hey, wanna know what I've been doing today?

- I've been updating my resume and trying to figure out how I can pick up a second job because my husband had to take another pay cut.

- And I've been combing the coupons to plan meals for the next two weeks that we can afford and that are not ramen noodles.

- And I've been going through closets to determine who gets new shoes this month because everyone needs them but we can only afford one pair at a time.

- And we had to tell the kids we canceled the vacation next spring even though we haven't a vacation for the last four years and were really hoping to go somewhere for spring break.

But hey, Obama told us we'd all have to tighten our belts to get through this, right? I mean, even he's gone from the $400/lb Kobe beef steaks to the $300/lb Waygu. And if they raise our taxes by over $200 per month next year, it'll be worth it so Obama and the missus can keep living in style, right?

Obama suddenly remembers his manners

Oh, so now Obama wants to talk? According to this, Duh One has invited Boehner, McConnell, reid, and pelosi to the White House for a meeting. And of course he's spewing the standard politician talking points about bi-partisanship, finding middle ground, and working together to serve the American people.

Right.

Isn't this the same guy who has spent the last two years calling conservatives and Republicans enemies, racists, bigots, bitter clingers, morons, traitors, and telling them to sit in the back of the bus? Why yes, I believe it is. If there's anything we know about Obama after the last two years, it's that he's an egotistical, selfish, insincere, liar. Whatever olive branch he's extending at the moment is ONLY for political purposes and not because Tuesday's beating has changed his agenda.

Republicans should refuse outright. Yes, bi-partisanship is necessary but it can come later. Let the president chew on his humble pie for a while first, he deserves it. (At least he has his $200 million per day jaunt to India coming up to soothe his bruised ego. Thanks, taxpayers!)

If Boehner and McConnell do attend, they'd better take some giant Slurpees that they can sip noisily whenever Obama starts in on more of his compromise BS.
