Obama – The Private School Hypocrite

I don’t mean to keep picking on President Obama but when he makes it so easy I just can’t help myself. Don’t get me wrong; I do find him to be an Arrogantly Ignorant Blowhard. So I don’t mind pointing out his complete ineptness as he makes it far too easy for a smart-aleck like myself to find the humor and irony in a situation to pass on the opportunity to point out his hypocrisy.

AND he does make it easy.

Yesterday, at Georgetown University, the President was part of a discussion panel and decided to attack the rich and privileged for living in elitist neighborhoods and sending their children to private schools. He said that by doing so they live away from poverty and as a result never have to deal with the same issues that those of us in the masses have to.

Well that all sounds like a guy who came from the masses, who is living with them and fighting for them!

Only one problem – HE’S NOT!

Obama came from an upper middle-class background and attended mostly private schools growing up including high school at the elite Hawaiian Punahou School; a school that currently costs over $22,000 a year to attend.

Then he followed that up by attending college at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard – All Private Schools. I won’t go into the whole “how all the tuition was paid for” and “what all happened to get him into these schools”; that’s covered enough by others.

But of course private schools in how he was educated. Surely after being forced to attend those dreaded private schools and with his current philosophy on social correctness he wouldn’t expose his own children to this continued hypocrisy…..RIGHT?

WRONG!!!!

First of all, the Obama’s live in a house in the elite Kenwood area of Chicago. A house they purchased for a measly $1.6 million, but there’s nothing elitist about that!

Then there’s the option of where to put his two daughters into school; surely the Obama’s do as they preach and have their children in public school?                  

NOPE!!

Now this is not a slight or a picking on of their children, but POTUS can’t tell the public how screwed up things are and then not walk the walk. Nope, the Obama’s have always had their children in private schools.  AHHHH….the hypocrisy continues.

Now I’m not picking on the Obama’s for living the life they can or for where they were educated or where they live. I believe it’s everyone’s right to live where they wish and educate their children as they have the means to and how they see fit.

I have lived all over and attended both public and private schools; and would never think of passing judgment because of where someone chooses to live or where they send their kids to school.

Neither Should the President.

As POTUS you can’t use the “do as I say, not as I do” argument; or at least you’re not supposed. Unfortunately this President does it all too often and no one ever seems to call him on it.

Just sad!
