Obama Parties While Soldiers Die

Don Surber: “Obama accepts all the perks of the office and none of the responsibilities.”

That’s it in a nutshell. The man has accomplished “jack” and “squat” since becoming President. But he sure is living it up…and so is his family. Lots of nice trips. Lots of parties. Lots of celebrity mingling.

Just no policy.

Meanwhile the Obamas are the toast of the town in Washington. AP reported:

WASHINGTON — Michelle and Barack Obama sat one table over from J. Lo and Marc Anthony, and all four of them were rocking in their seats as Sheila E. shook the house — well, really the tent.

The latest installment of the White House music series was too big for the East Room, so a high-wattage assortment of Latin musicians sent pulsating, can’t-help-but-bob-along rhythms tumbling out of a giant tent on the mansion’s South Lawn.

Yes, that’s how FDR did it, out partying all night long. That’s how we rose out of the Great Depression and won World War II.

Meanwhile British and American troops fight on in Afganistan…

…and Iraq.

Party Hearty Obama keeps complaining he “inherited” two wars. Wrong. He ran for the office of commander in chief specifically to engage these wars. Instead, our president would rather schmooze with dancers and rock stars and play basketball. He accepts all the perks of the office and none of the responsibilities.
