iPod And Other Obama Inanities
April 2, 2009 / 8:30 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierI’m trying to imagine how bad Barack Obama’s anniversary presents to Michelle must be. Last year, she got a signed Audacity of Hope. Lucky her! I’m joking, of course. I don’t know what gift exchanges go like in the Obama household, but if President Obama’s gifts to heads of state indicate anything, it’s not good stuff. No diamonds for Michelle.
The worst part of the Queen’s lame gift is that President Obama hasn’t gotten around to staffing important posts. While not looking like an ass isn’t necessarily priority number one, it’s a nice start.
America is a blessed, wealthy country. Our gifts reflect thoughtfulness and a generosity (or lack thereof) of spirit. Hopefully, President Obama can get it together.
And a note on the press: You know that if this had happened with President Bush the hew and cry would be deafening.
Another note: I’ve taken so long to post about this because really, I don’t care all that much. Watching the country go down the socialist crapper is a bigger issue for me. That it looks like amateur hour overseas? Meh. That it is amateur hour when it comes to the economy… well, that bothers me.
