Yes they could eat hamburger and not feel it at all

Yes a pretty picture,

You only live once

One day when or more like IF I feel more financially secure than I have for the last few years... on my birthday maybe I will.

One thing that can be said for never having experienced a really, REALLY great steak... is that you won't be missing it when you have to settle for far less.

Pizza is like that for me... having lived in Italy long enough to have had some REALLY great pizza fairly frequently... nothing I've had on this side of the big pond has really met that standard.

Actually rumor has it that Barry likes a good hamburger from time to time... its that self proclaimed queen he married that has a problem with that...

No I don't... perhaps you could enlighten us? One thing I am not is elitist.

I wasn't referring to you but to Michelle

Actually, Obama loves chili dogs and Michelle has a weakness for french fries. I think that should be their new WH menu and they can forgo the Bison Wellington.

Now if the two of them and their daughters were piggy-fat and slobby looking with grease spots on the fronts of their clothes, I'd say you have an argument. Isn't there something you absolutely love to eat, but think better of it because it isn't good for you, but still have it once in a while? My downfall is caramel brownies with melty chocolate chips and gooey caramel and pecan halves inside. I bake them only twice a year.

My point has nothing to do with cravings. The guy is punishing children which is bad enough, but he refuses to make any personal sacrifices in the process.

I'm sure he eats lots of broccoli and cauliflower (i.e. "personal sacrifice"). If he was photographed eating that, you'd complain that he is a goody two-shoes and is lying about what he really eats and is doing it as a photo op. If inner-city kids satisfied cravings once in a while, but that is not what happens. Fast food is the cheap food and is close to home and easy to get to, so that's what they live on.

I refer to him closing canceling WH tours while living it up on the taxpayer dollar.

Hello again, Steve:

I refer to him closing canceling WH tours while living it up on the taxpayer dollar.

In other words, he has to make the cuts YOU approve of... But, if that's so, why didn't you put those into the law?

If the right wing snookered Obama INTO the sequester, Obama snookered the right wing by making the cuts HE wants to make.

It's ALL political theater. I think Obama is winning.

It is political theater but Obama is losing in this act.

Oh, and I'm sure no one thought the President of the United States would be so juvenile as to close the WH for his centerpiece cut - especially after using kids as props for his scarequester campaign.

It's for the children remember?

[talaniman]

Nice try dude, but it's the members of congress who ask for the tours formally and they have said we are broke so who pays for the extra security for those tours?

Why are you so hyped up about children not going on a tour but say nothing about the children, poor women, and seniors because of the sequester.

Thanks for the perfect example of right wing hypocrisy. Congress has had more than a year almost to avoid this sequester, and have done NOTHING! That's where the blame lies.

[speechlesstx]

The scarequester card was already played and you lost.

[talaniman]

Your assertion of my defeat is premature. The battle wages on despite your claims of victory.

Hello again, Steve:

You'd think Republicans would want to pay for veteran benefits before tours. Oh wait, the hypocrite right wingers have voted down almost every benefit for vets in the last 15 years.
