I guess that somebody will call me an extremist and say that I should be banned for posting this. Oh well, let the ad hom attacks against me begin.

"$16.4 trillion – that’s the latest figure for America’s massive national debt. Nearly $6 trillion of this debt was racked up in the first term of the Obama presidency – a 50 percent increase. It is horrifying to imagine what the debt will be when Obama leaves the White House in 2016, unless Congress has the willpower to stand in the way."

"Meanwhile, as the world’s superpower is literally drowning in debt, President Obama is basking in the warmth of the beaches of Hawaii, at an exclusive resort way beyond the financial reach of most Americans."

"For most of America’s embattled middle class, who, unlike the president have already returned to work, this kind of luxury is simply unimaginable in the current economic climate."

"Barack Obama benefits from a largely deferential liberal press in the United States which rarely questions his opulence in office. It would be unthinkable for the British prime minister to act in the same manner. If David Cameron flew off to Hawaii and billed the British public £5 million for his Christmas vacation, he would be out of a job."

"President Obama frequently calls on the American people to make sacrifices, but he is simply unwilling to lead by example and do so himself. "

"The president is elected to serve his country, rather than lord over it, a message which appears to be completely lost on the present White House. "--by Nile Gardiner, January 4th, 2013
