Timing is everything when it comes to spending taxpayer dollars

As recently reported by national news outlets, it appears President Barack Obama will be celebrating his milestone birthday — the big 50 — at a Chicago fundraiser party where tickets will cost up to $35,800 each.

Obama and his campaign cronies are working ever so hard toward that billion dollar campaign war chest it seems. It’s a good thing too because Americans are ticked! Team Obama is going to need all the dollars they can get to spin the message in 2012 — just hope Washington GOP don’t make it easy on them.

I digress, back to party talk. What makes Obama birthday bash madness so much more painful is the fact that our fearless leader plans to hold the birthday party / political fundraiser on August 2nd, the day, as he stated so sternly to the press corp last week, our country will experience Armageddon if the debt ceiling isn’t raised and government can’t continue to spend, spend, spend!

Republicans are slamming the decision to have the party as “insensitive” — ya think?!

Obama said last Tuesday that he cannot guarantee that social security checks will go out starting August 3 unless a deal can be reached on raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit.

I don’t know about you but when the President can lavishly spend dollars on himself and in the same breath tells Americans they might not get the rightful Social Security funds they’ve paid into over the years, you know something is wrong in Gotham City.

I think GOP Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas hits the nail on the head: “That’d be as crazy as setting up golf games in the middle of going after Osama bin Laden. I’m sure he wouldn’t do something like that – or maybe he would [did].”

Happy 50th President Obama!
