| The people who complain about Obama giving foreign heads of state relatively inexpensive gifts... |
|
...would similarly go into conniptions if the President was giving them somewhat expensive gifts--"THIS is how he spends our tax dollars? What an elitist! Doesn't he know we're in a recession right now?!"
Some people just like to complain about Obama...and a few are paid quite handsomely to do so. For the record, I think it shows a sensitivity to the county's economic crisis, but what do I know?

You know how I hear about these "Obama hating" posts? From all of the posts complaining about them.
Why is there this need for people to believe that there is an Obama hating conspiracy?
Maybe people are getting these ideas from the MSM?

| 10. It seems to me President Obama |
|
has given very personally thought out gifts. Some committee didn't choose it based on "ohh what can we give them that will show them how much better we are" I like it.:thumbsup:
