Tightening The Belt...Or Not

From Debbie Schlussel:
Families are tightening their belts and so should Washington.

--President Barack Hussein Obama, announcing the freeze in salary for top staff (who already make almost $200K per year) and apparently meaning, "Familes are tightening their belts and so should Washington, with the exception of the Obama family."

Examples of Obama Washington "belt-tightening":

* $55,000-plus per year for Malia and Sasha Obama to go to swanky private school with gourmet organic meals fit for an Oprah

* Michelle Obama spending $100,000 to redecorate White House residence just redecorated four years ago.

Also, pay no attention to Michelle's ball gown for last night's love-fest, which cost $1,500.  Oh, and please also ignore the whole $150+ million love-fest itself.  If you don't, you're a racist, you know.

Ah, yes, it's time for all Americans to get some 'skin in the game'...except for the Obamessiah, of course.

He plays by that other set of rules...

There's my two cents.
