| | On the campaign trail, he was presented as a regular guy. He worked for pennies to improve Chi-town neighborhoods and communities. He drove an old car. He dreamed of a better world...
The man had his own private chef, for crying out loud.
If the Palin family had had a private chef, the press would have been all over it. We would have heard no end of it. Sarah Palin would have been painted to be an uncaring mother and unfair politician living too well off of the tax payers' backs. (Don't deny it. They crucified her for wearing borrowed clothes!)
The truth is, Obama was a millionaire before he announced his candidacy. They aren't "normal" people like the rest of us. (You don't find too many people of average income attending Columbia, and we all know it.)
They lied by the way they represented themselves to the public, and people ought to be outraged.
But they won't.
They won't because the press won't make a big deal out of it, and the lie will be swept under the carpet with all the other dirty little truths - like his political views on your money.
My question today and every day is this: If Obama is so in favor of "spreading the wealth," why hasn't he spread his wealth? Why is he able to afford a private chef? Couldn't he feed a lot of fellow Chicago-ans with that money? Shouldn't he donate it to the stimulus package?
It seems to me that a guy who could afford a private chef ought to be able to help out his brother in Kenya who lives in a tiny hut. A rich man who believes in spreading the wealth and can afford a private chef should be able to help his aunt live somewhere other than a Boston ghetto. Don't you think?
You see, Obama doesn't really believe in spreading his wealth. He believes in spreading the wealth of others. You and I are dirty dogs if we want to be rich. (And believe me, I'd love to be rich.) We're unpatriotic if we don't want to give the government more of our earnings. We should be willing to give up our hard earned cash in the name of sharing with our fellow man. (We should feel great about paying for abortions around the world. It's so neighborly of us.) But somehow the guy who got into office with that message doesn't feel he should have to share. And that's a pretty nasty dish to serve up to a nation built on capitalist beliefs.
