Can you imagine, I read it in this newspaper article today (February 4th, 2012) they want the first black president to cut back on his "so called lavish" living expenses.  All of a sudden they are worried that he and his family are living too lavishly at the white house. 

Funny they had no quims or concerns when it was the other presidents.  According to them the other Presidents deserved to be treated well. 

But now all of a sudden when it is the first Black President, They think that he should feel bad about living a life that he deserves and should have. 

- Maximum Body Guards definetly.
- Privacy about his finances and personal life for sure.  I mean they have people there monitoring the money anyway to make sure he's not getting a penny over his share, I'm sure as well. 

He's the president, where is his respect, in terms of space and entitlement.  The other Presidents lived Lavishly, and no one saw that as a problem.  in fact everyone expected it. 

Now all of a sudden, Obama should set a so call "good" example by living like a papau.  They wouldn't respect him.  They would want to bring him down finance wise and try to pounce on him. 
and what would that prove anyway.  It would actually make no sense.

They don't want to see a black man rise.  So they put the morale and integrity card to him, and they have none themselves.  they would try to make him feel guilty or bad for something they would never do.  Or never even consider.  Taking away money is definetly not the answer.

and besides, I don't see them asking Justin Bieber to give up any of his money, or his Lavish lifestlye to show as a good example, he's the one that the kids are watching right now.

Right, Right, But it's ok for them to see Justin Bieber living lavishly but not President Obama.  Somethings really wrong with that type of thinking.

He could have more money than the President, which is fine, but don't be asking the President to give up his so called lavish lifestyle and money

There is always enough money to go around - The Key is to govern our heart, not other people...
