Seriously? What do you guys think of this?
Obama Criticized For Living In Lavish Mansion While Most Americans Struggle To Make Ends Meet
WASHINGTON—Over the past three years, as the sluggish economy has forced many Americans to tighten their belts, President Obama has reportedly enjoyed a lavish personal lifestyle, residing with his family in a 132-room house staffed by a 24-hour security detail, five full-time chefs, and a live-in maid service.
In recent weeks, many of the president's critics have seized upon the issue, arguing that anyone who sleeps in a sprawling six-level neoclassical mansion covering 18 acres of Washington, D.C.'s most valuable real estate is clearly out of touch with the lives of ordinary citizens.
"What message does it send to the American people when their president is living in a ritzy palatial estate at the same time they're struggling to keep their heads above water?" political strategist Robert T. Carlson said Wednesday, noting that Obama's gated home features a lush rose garden, a private balcony, an ostentatious room seemingly devoted to the color blue, a solarium, "fancy portraits" of John F. Kennedy and George Washington, and a movie theater. "So much for all that 'shared sacrifice' he keeps talking about."

The same could be said of every president.
So would they prefer that he tie up traffic for hours, and close down a movie theatre anytime his daughters wanted to see a movie? Or for them to go out to eat? Not to mention the man hours of the secret service to ensure the security of those places before they arrive?
I don't much care for Obama, but that ranks right up there as one of the dumbest things against him I have read.
