What will $50,000 buy the average family?
It will get them a Chevrolet Braun SUV and a Toyota Corolla,or 17 years of gas at the current price at the pump,or six years of groceries. It will pay their mortgage for four years,or educate their child at a four-year state college or university.
Or,if you’re America’s royal family – Barack I and Queen Michelle of Arrogant – it’s the rental on a swank,waterfront vacation home – with boathouse,horse paddocks,and apple orchard – for 10 days. Blue Heron Farm – a 28.5-acre estate on Martha’s Vineyard off Cape Cod – has a five-bedroom main house,a guest house,a swimming pool,and a half-court for basketball.
The real estate agent who handles the property won’t disclose the rental. Other area agents estimate the property rents for between $35,000 and $50,000 a week. (The Obamas have it for 10 days,making $50,000 a low-side estimate.) The Royal House of Chicago paid for the digs. We the tax-serfs paid for staff and Secret Service housing and amenities,and the cost of transporting the family and their servitors.
The week before his Martha’s Vineyard getaway,the president took a three-day bus tour of the Midwest,where he expounded on one of his favorite themes. “If everybody took an attitude of shared sacrifice,we could solve our deficit and debt problem next week.” Our debt problem? I didn’t know you and I were responsible for increasing the national debt from $10.6 trillion to $14.3 trillion since January 20,2009. Rather irresponsible of us,wasn’t it?
Shared sacrifice for thee,but not for he. Forget what the vacation costs taxpayers. With unemployment at 9.1 percent,you’d think the royal couple might feel a little guilty about paying $50,000 to rent a vacation home for a week-and-a-half.
The second week in July,the Dow-Jones Industrial Average lost 419.63 points. From June to July,the sale of previously-owned homes fell 3.5 percent – this despite massive subsidies for the housing market over the past two years. New claims for unemployment benefits rose 9,000. Did I mention that the nation’s unemployment rate is over 9 percent?
The Wall Street Journal surveyed 50 or so economic forecasters who put the odds of a recession next year at 29 percent. Ten of them said the odds were 40 percent or higher….
THESE TWO HAVE PROVEN TO BE A PAIR OF UNDISTINGUISHED TASTLESS DESPICABLE LOW CLASS CRACKPOTS THAT FOUND THE COOKIE JAR,AND HAVE AN EMBARASSING DRIEV TO CLEAN IT OUT—PEONTO. THE ONLY THING MISSING IS THE TWO POUND GOLD NECKLACES!! YUK!!!
What an amazing disgusting display of arragance this President has for the people of American and the Country! His outlandish spending has driven the country over the edge from where we may not return. The sooner we get this guy out of office the better! We cannot continue to fund his vacations let alone his policies of the destruction of America. What an absolute joke of a President we have!
Do not forget the $2.4 million buses made in Canada and its 40-50 car caravan for his campaign,which should be paid for by the democratic party,and not the taxpayer. He and his fat ass wife have also taken 2 separate jets to and from Marthas vineyard. What is that price tag on that? And the costs keep adding up!
I totally agree. He is a disgrace to America.
All I can say 2012 is just around the corner and he had better not get used to this!!!
bigot
please god aborted obama
Just maybe the Hurrican might get his skinny butt out of the way!!
And not mentioned here is that they couldn't even travel there together. Had to take seperate airplanes and two vehicle convoys &secret service.
There is just nothing like ROYALTY. We MUST raise taxes to continue their lavish lifestyle,they surely deserve it.
