when all the partisan defending settles down it should be obvious. No different than a business executive running a company that is not in good financial health, where expenses must be cut to meet revenues (BALANCE!!!) there would be restrictions on the "normal" lifestyles of all who work at that company including the executives

Obama is supposed to be the chief executive of the USA. His country is in serious financial straights and all he and congress do is give the debt lip service. They certainly have not, do no change their life style one iota to either acknowledge there is no money without borrowing it of printing more.
But that does not seem to matter.

By sending and spending to send his kids on a Mexico holiday is wrong no matter who one is..R, D, white, black or what ever religion...

The Obama's really believe they are royalty. They believe they are free to tell we the people and the rest of the world what we should and should not do and then by their personal actions on specific subjects/issues publicly demonstrate their words do not apply to them.

The real impact of their lavish life style as leaders of an entity in financial distress underscores they DO NOT CARE.

They are consistent in the ongoing espousing one thing and doing another.

Who ever did what ever in the past is no justification of the current environment. The Obama's demonstrate they do not care.
