Divided Government Limits Obama's Travels and Spending

During the past three weeks, the President has been confined to Washington, pushing the Democratic senate and congressional representatives to stand strong and block all Republican suggestions and solutions for capping the national debt. Armed with bully-tactic rhetoric and a stubborn refusal to stop spending, both the President and Vice President have been forced cancel fund raising appearances across the country (Obama, Biden cancel fund-raisers to stay in DC for debt talks).

Listening to his response to a question at a University of Maryland town hall discussion last Friday, we learn of Mr. Obama's frustration of having to work.




Because the American population insisted on fiscal accountability, the President is forced to work with a divided government. As he says, if he didn't have this distraction, he wouldn't have to attend so many meetings, and could spend more time with his family.

What the President really meant is that he could spend more time traveling on Air Force One collecting donations from wealthy jet owners in California, Seattle, New York City, and Washington DC. He also means that VP O'Biden would be free to travel to Atalanta, Nashville, and Dallas for money there.

Even so, the First Lady will continue doing her part, making a one day trip to Park City Utah and Aspen Colorado tomorrow to attend two fund raisers where admittance will cost guests $1,000 to $35,000.

The sad part is that if we do not raise the debt ceiling, then the Obama family will be forced to limit (or hopefully stop) their voracious and continuous spending of our hard earned tax dollars, which is the real reason why Mr. Obama needs to raise taxes across the board.
