Flaunt That Holiday Hula Mr. President

As you and I spend buckets of our stockpiled money in the final dash to ring cash registers like Salvation Army beggars' bells for Christmas, please forget I'm a Catholic conservative, that President Obama' s a Democrat, and know that as un-Christian sounding and unsavory as this picture is, I'm so mad I'm shitting tinsel-trimmed, blue spruce pine cones.

Is Mr President taking the peoples' 747 (Air Force One) to Camp David (the Presidential retreat for which we pay Maryland) for Christmas, or back to be welcomed in the arms of the community he 'organized' (Chicago, Illinois)--the home state from which he was elected to Congress--to drop some Obama bucks on that devasted economy?

Naw...in order to make his Yule less cool [okay, frozen-cold] and ensure Michelle and the kids have a swell (of the ocean waves' variety) Noel, he's taking his air taxi--a 747, its crew and secret service and personal/Presidential entourage, all the way from Virginia to Hawaii and what's that gonna cost us taxpayers?

I don't wish him or anyone a lousy Christmas while the country's on its financial ass, but I'm hotter than spiced cider that he's so flagrantly flaunting it in my face and yours when suffering seems to be the commodity of the Season.

While the White House P.R. team engineers accountability for this poorly timed, festive, financial faux pas to (somehow) be hung on George Bush like a Boy Scouts' bag of mistletoe on a door frame, the 'first family' will be doin' the island booty-shake to strains of Don Ho on your nickel and mine as the Presidential poi party sways under Hawaiian skies.

He might have earned his first shred of respect from me had he taken Winnebago One to the projects and handed out hams to the needy even if it meant the wholesale slaughter of more pigs than the amount of pork in the Omnibus bill, but this latest gargantuan gaff is just our fearless leader's continued, demonstrative lack of good judgement from the same side of a brain that made the decision to hand an iPod to the Queen of England.
