WASHINGTON (SR) - Amid growing criticism of the First Family's opulent lifestyle at a time when many Americans are struggling, the White House issued a statement Monday saying that the Obamas are suffering as well. Here is an excerpt:
President Obama and his family understand and sympathize with what many Americans are going through, as they are also dealing with the stress and uncertaintity of living in these turbulent times.
For instance, during their present vacation at Martha's Vineyard, rain has prevented the First Family from doing many of the things they had planned, forcing them to spend hours at a time inside their $20 million mansion with nothing but first-run movies, games, fine food and wine, and the company of numerous celebrities to entertain them.
In addition, President Obama has only been able to golf two times so far on this vacation, and both times his concentration and enjoyment were significantly dampened by excessive noise from seagulls in the area.
Just when things seemed like they couldn't get worse, they did - while dining at a local restaurant, Michelle was served slightly overcooked lobster, President Obama found the Tarte Aux Framboises "disappointing," and even the children were displeased with the new color scheme.
Despite these hardships, the First Family joins all Americans in bravely going forward, confident in a better tomorrow.
My comments: I guess sometimes we forget that even the President has the same kind problems we all do....
