Oh...and as an added bonus, I take great offense from any politician who attempts to tell me what's morally correct and how I need to raise my family. She's busy preaching her bible thumping family values venomous crap while her kid is fucking her boyfriend in Palin's house and then becomes pregnant.
I believe that one gets filed under 'do as I say not as I do'. I do love me some hypocrisy.
It's only hypocrisy if she was aware of it going on and if she actually considers it to be alright.
Funny, you don't seem mind Obama telling you that you need to make sacrifices in these hard times whilst signing an unprecedented Wall Street bailout, or using up 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to plant a single tree, or the Hollywood left paying $50,000 a seat for his inauguration...
how about Michelle Obamas $30, 000 ring, given as a token of appreciation during Obama's campaign? Or anybody remember those $550 pair of designer... tennis shoes?!?
I heard that they spent around $1,000,000 on a "date night"...
there is a shitload more that I could produce, but that should suffice.
During a time in which unemployment is through the roof, people are losing their homes, and barely scraoing by, it is both crass and arrogant to say that "we need to make sacrifices", we being us, while the Obamas live like royalty.

Sacrifice, indeed.
Believe me, I have HUGE issues with all of it. This where I usually get into my rant of the 'have and have nots' and how capitalism creates it. Again, I can't stand any politician and you've given great examples how power and greed permeate everything, everywhere, and corrupts totally.
