Almost as if he is proud of it. That is what really really makes blood shoot out of my eyes. I have to change the channel when he gives speaches, or even talks, and then go back and read transcripts because he makes me so mad.

Like you said, having secret service comb through the area for weeks, like I'm sure they've already done, is gona add major $$$ to the tab. It's all around rediculous. And even asuming in a perfect world and he payed out of pcket for all of these expenses, what the example he setting by doing this? He tells us all to cut back, quit living beyond our means, blah blah blah..... Then he goes to Martha's Vinyard? He can shove his advice were the sun don't shine........

All words that Obama practically prescribes to. Every statement made by man, and every action he takes (or dosn't take). Steps further and further beyond any of these terms. There needs to be a new term, because none of these go far enough to describe this man.

Service members, Postal Employees, and any other govt worker technically get their salary from the tax payer, and they get to spend there monay any way they want. However, the expense to the Secret Service to secure the area, provide transport to Martha's Vineyard, and a host of other set up expenses that all wouldn't exist if he went to Camp David.

His double standard is shown day in and day out. We can't drive SUV's or Turn up the AC...but He gets to make the White House hot as hell when it was 25 this winter, and won't give up any of his big escort vehicles....

I poke around dailykos and media matters a couple of times a week just to see what they are saying, and most of the time it's just hatred. It's all about putting up stuff to make conservatives and right wingers out to be these horibly evil greedy people. IT has no logic based behind it, and it never makes any sense if you try to fact check it. It's the same thing with olbermann and half of MSNBC, and a few over at CNN. They just hate so much it really makes me feel sorry for them.

Abortion has something to do with peoples varying views on personal rights, infact i'd say it's the biggest argument centered around that topic. So it wasn't ilogic. And I told you to calm down cause I was hoping you wouldn't say something absolutly stupid, like you forgeting more than I'll ever learn. But looks like that was to much to be expected from someone as arrogant as you. I wasn't telling you to shut up. I was trying to calm down the discussion so it didn't get personal. As far as i'm concerend this convo is done because it's gotten personal. I'll read your replys on this but I'm saying no more.

I take the thanks and graditude apreciativly and thes snide remarks as they come. The point I was making is I've seen alot of different cultures, lived in lots of differend places, so I take a step back and try to look at stuff from all sides. Try to be as objective as I possibly can. I bet your a really nice person, very wise, and has a lot I could learn from. But the arrogance of your last post blows me away. You presume to know more than me because why? Your older? What on earth makes you think you've "forgotten more than i'll ever know". I honestly tried to be respectfull to you, and yoru beliefs but it's almost imposible. I do listen to everyone, but I still maintain my opinion, that obama isn't evil. There have been a couple people here that have made me change parts of my opinion or feeling about Obama but it sure wasn't you.

It's just going to boil over. It's already beyond the point of control they were use to in the campaign, and they seem to think if they Ignore all of us we will just go away. Gona be fun to prove them wrong.

But I could be wrong. Still dosn't make it morally correct though.

This man, who preaches to the country about how it's patriotic to pay taxes, and bashes on CEO's who make too much money, is gona take a salaray many of us wish we could have AND take more tax payer dollars to pad his bennifits. He may "rate" or "diserve" the bennifits, but the fact that he is taking them shows how much he really believes in what he says. The government has asked several people to run these companies with no salary, because they "are able to".
