"Hoping for some AUDACITY..."

I can't say how emphatically I agree with this "New Rule" from Bill Maher. Essentially Bill is saying what I have been saying for a good few months now and everyone has been so shocked and taken a back by. It's time for the Obamas to stop acting like they are filming "The Real First Family of D.C." and start acting like they are the REAL FIRST FAMILY!! Who's role by the way should be to serve as a role model for the rest of the country.

As Bill said how hard is it for the president to pick up the phone and order a cheese burger? You know what I'm going to say that at the White House probably not that hard. An even better illustration of this is something that's been under my skin for a while. Okay I understand you know an eight year old has a birthday you throw them a party. Here's what that means to the real Americans that at one point and time the Obamas were claiming to represent, it means you go down to the party store and you buy some Hanna Montana napkins, cups, party favors, etc. and maybe you order a cake in the shape of a microphone with Miley Cyrus on it in on. Here's what it most definitely does not mean for the millions of Americans trying to get by with two increasingly less secure incomes, it doesn't mean that you whisk that eight year old away on a private jet to Paris and then to a special birthday party on the set of a major motion picture and then have the star of said motion picture attend the party.

Many have said to me, "who cares they're entitled to their life." Well here's the thing they are entitled to that life yes up to a point and that point is the point where it becomes extravagance. Part of the mystique behind the popularity of the Obamas and indeed President Obama is that people felt like they were just normal upper middle class family...that they were real. They were best suited to represent us because they were us...except not so much now.

Obama's slogan was "Yes WE can." Where is the WE now? THEY get fly to Paris for the weekend, THEY get a private motorcade to Five Guys, THEY get to steal away to New York with a private jet an motorcade, THEY get Hollywood stars attending their children's birthday.

So what do WE get? WE get a failing auto industry, WE get ever more crippling healthcare costs, WE get a world with the number of nuclear powers on the rise, WE get two wars, WE get to watch those we know fight and die in those wars, WE get to work ever harder and be thankful we have jobs, WE get to watch financial scandal after financial scandal, WE get to be the bail out.

WE fought for HIM now he must fight for us!!
