"Shared Sacrifice"

Go to American Thinker and read this entire column about Obama's birthday bash. Can you just imagine the reaction if President Bush had done this? 

"After struggling with noncompliant Republicans over the debt-ceiling debate, in what appears to be an effort to soothe his 'agitated' self, President Obama has scheduled a high-priced 50th birthday bash in honor of the day he graced the planet with his greatness. The news comes just days after Obama was lamenting the burden of having to keep 'hundreds of thousands of [unnecessary] dollars in additional income.' The President encouraged people to take the extra money that would otherwise provide stuffing for the worn-out mattresses Americans haven't been able to replace in a recession and look for an opportunity to help a brother or sister in need.
.................
President Obama is even making sure, regardless of economic strata, that 'shared sacrifice' is truly shared. At the birthday show, there'll even be a limited-availability $50 'neediest among us' section for those who view the cost of admittance as an investment in an Obama second term, where he'll have another chance to fulfill his promise to provide free gas and monthly mortgage payments to those still having trouble making ends meet."
