Republican Congressman Attacks Sasha And Malia Obama

[onpatrol98]

85. I get your point...

Republicans have nothing else to squall about at the moment. They're fighting a losing battle, so they're whining about the President's daughters having a nice vacation. There's nothing wrong with sending the kids off for a nice vacation. It probably helps to get away from the White House and politics 24/7. But, you're thinking for a boat load of American children, there are no vacations, nice or otherwise. For many, there isn't even food. Every parent would love to do the same for their kids. But, we spend most of our days...treading water or drowning. No one even talks about the jobs anymore. In fact, any other topic, worthy or not...now, takes precedent over a conversation about jobs and the lack of jobs. And, job numbers going down are a great talking point, and it has value for people who are a part of the newly employed. But, for literally millions of Americans, there is no work...unemployment has run out, insurance doesn't exist, and all hope on some days seem lost. It's not that you begrudge the President's daughter a great vacation. You're just wondering if he realized to so many families struggling, this seems tone deaf from a President, who as a candidate could eloquently convince us he felt our pain and his first priority would be to make it better.

I would like to think he thought about it. But, his kids are growing up, now. Although he works for us, his kids don't. They didn't ask to be in the White House during an economic slow down. And, he's a president...but, he's also a father. As a parent, you want to do nice things for your kids. Things seem to be picking up. I wish the best for you Chris. I wish there was a way we could we could force these politicians to work on jobs.
