President Obama will be spending Valentine's Day with the one he loves the most. Michelle and the kids will be vacationing separately.
"The king is going out to California," Carney announced. He might have been referring to King Abdullah II of Jordan, who is scheduled to meet Obama in Rancho Mirage, but we're not sure.
Never mind the House of Representatives had to pass a debt ceiling extension on Tuesday to avoid hitting the limit in two weeks. Never mind that the national debt has increased $6.6 trillion under Obama. Never mind the national debt is $17,263,025,875,604.41.
Never mind that median household income is 4.4%, or $2,500, less since Obama's "recovery" began. Never mind that the average health insurance premium has risen $2,500 since ObamaCare became law.
Never mind that the share of underemployed has climbed to 17.7%. Never mind that the payroll-to-population rate dropped to 42% from 63.5% in January 2010. Never mind that 46.5 million Americans are living in poverty. Never mind that this is the worst recovery in U.S. history.
Never mind most American families can't afford to jet off to separate vacations over Presidents Day weekend. Let's just hope these trips are cheaper than the $100 million sojourn the Obamas took to Africa during sequestration last year, or the quarter-million-dollar "date night" Barack and Michelle enjoyed in New York in 2009.
But as president, Obama reminded us recently, you "can do whatever you want." It's good to be king.
