How is this hypocrisy? Really? I mean... if the man makes enough money that he can afford some item for $30K, why should he not spend it? I'm not just referring to Barack Obama, either, I'm talking about anyone who's got money to spend. I imagine that the sacrifice Obama was referring to was not a general thing, it wasn't a statement of, "No one anywhere should splurge on things that don't immediately relate to one's physical well-being." That's absurd. Besides that, the outrage about this issue should be directly related to its facts: this allegation is bogus, so what's the point in getting upset?

really... I think the message about 'sacrifice' is more about not spending money you don't have....

I agree fool, but it was the left that was DEMANDING and THREATING the banks to give out the faulty loans in the first place...
And the right that was yelling about what was going to happen if they continued down that path. (See McCain's letter 2004).
Now how to fix the problem... Not so sure... that saying closing the gate after the horses are out comes to mind, (paraphrase)

It's not a real story TP. Get over it already. If you want to be outraged about something try being outraged that Drudge has lied to you yet again. Or even better that you fell for it yet again.

What is the "real story" db?

And Gringa, what "Holy First Man"? I only know of one Holy Man, and He wouldn't beg.

The real story TP is that Matt Drudge regularly pulls stuff out of his butt and that you need to vet his stories before you post them if you don't want to look gullible.

Please post any quotes I have not sourced. I try to be scrupulous about my sourcing.
