mopar Mike: Obama keeps saying we need to sacrifice. What sacrifices has he and the gov made collectively and individually?
I keep hearing Obama saying people and businesses need to make tough painful sacrifices to come out of this economic downturn, What sacrifices has he and the government made both collectively and personally ? Have any of them taken pay cuts ? Or give up perks ? Cut back on spending such as that appropriated in the stimulus for fancy government buildings ? Just curious. Or is this more of Obama’s ” Do as I say, Not as I do ” jargon. Thanks in advance for your answers.

No need to sacrifice when the government will bail you out. Obama is an idiot.

Answer by Reality has a Liberal Bias
Everyone who joined his administration took a huge pay cut just by taking a government salary.

He froze the pay of his top staff.

He imposed limits on lobbying after government service (this will cost people a lot).

He is going to TAX Gas, and LIVING! We are going to have to SACRIFICE OUR MONEY! Obama is about to take over Private Industry – he is in the PROCESS RIGHT NOW! Today at GM! Wagoner Gone? He was the ONE who could have SAVED GM – Now – No One knows.

Is this what America Wanted? I don’t think so!

We NEED – Common Sense – Honesty – Term Limits for Congress and To Talk to Each Other without Blame.

Peace to All and God Bless! Jane.

Answer by RA
Sadly they have not done any. So you are right it is another one of his “Do as I say, Not as I do.” Obama represents the reason socialism has never worked, they want the people to make all the sacrifices and be “equal” no matter their contribution to society and yet the people in control of the government be elitist that get all the perks and make no sacrifice while dictating to everyone else what should be done.

He’s taking on the hardship of throwing lavish parties with $ 100/pound beef every Wednesday for us. He’s such a trooper.

Answer by Shane
He allows us to call him Mr. President instead of Your Holiness, The Messiah. I think that that is a great sacrifice for someone with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

You will see in a very short time,with all the lies he ahas told, your tax’s will be increased to 75-80% of your pay. This is not far off. What will we do, have no idea.Already cigarettes with an additional tax of $ 1.01 per pack, what will be next. The cap and trade will raise your utilities to $ 3000.00 per year. It is all coming. (by the way I am a non- smoker). Look up “Consequence Management Response Force”. The government will create chaos, so the troops will move in and take over. Get prepared you don’t have long.

This is how the statists govern. They tell the masses what do to, where to go, how to act…all but themselves.

It’s also what is unbelievable. How come there are only some that see this? Is this what everyone wants in this country? Damn, wake the hell up people.

Answer by DChem73
I don’t see how you people can watch a couple episodes of FOX news and suddenly call yourselves economists. Then again the internet is full of these types.

I also don’t see why your question really matters as you will simply pick the best answer as the one who agrees with you the most.

(Reality has a liberal bias) actually gave an example that not only answered your question but was true. Yet it got 6 “thumbs down.” Apparently you people are so desperate to hold onto the notion of being right that you have rejected reason and knowledge from current events.

How does comments like “He is an idiot” prove anything?

Congratulations, you have found a few people that agree with your uneducated conjectures regarding politics. What now?
