Les Miserables: when the going gets tough, Obama doubles down

[grggngll]

K. So Hillary Rosen inserts foot in mouth up to knee and requires immediate medical evacuation as far away from a live microphone as possible. That’s OK, we get it. She, like Huey “The Kingfish” Biden, is entitled to her rhetorical flourishes. But what I’m missing here is why Barack Obama would also be that dumb. It’s like raising with a poker hand full of 3’s, 7’s and 9’s.

The combined income of the Obama’s (when they felt compelled to have Michelle keep working) was $460K. Now granted his only chipped in about 1/3 of that total, but still….I can’t imagine being compelled to do anything if I were making $150K. I think I could handle the freaking utility bills.

That the Obamas were unable to scrimp by on $150K is pathetic. He should wipe the self-righteous smug off his mug and feel ashamed. The man has totally showed his butt in public and should no longer be considered a serious adult.

They threw Rosen under the bus faster than the speed of light. It was wonderful to see.
MY God even Biden and Ayers and Michele weighed in on the Twitterverse and threw Rosen to the wolves. Still they didn't have the balls to fire her, if fire is the right word.
More like they sacrificed her while trying to fan the flames of their class warfare strategy against Mitt Romney. Poor Rosen, she'd better lose some weight and try to get an position at MSNBC.

Les Miserables is my favorite Broadway show. I've seen it several times. It's message of redemption is well played - oh! And the music is top-notched! Also, I would recommend reading the book by Victor Hugo. It is one of the best novels I've ever read.

That drug-damaged racist Barry Obama is an embarrassment to Americans and Afro-Americans everywhere.

Stick with the topic. The OP is about Les Miserables.

[Jeebus]

Arrogance, hubris, entitlement, pretension, and conceit are the hallmark traits of Barry and The Queen.

Throw in incompetence and ineptitude and you have Barry Obama Administration v1.

Hope & Change.

Suckers.

Obama was struggling and had to have Michelle work, that is some good stuff. Maybe that's why they had that developer help them with their house.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko (born 1955) is a American businessman, political fundraiser, restaurateur, and real estate developer in Chicago, convicted on several counts of fraud and bribery in 2008. He was a fundraiser for local Illinois Democratic and Republican politicians since the 1980s. After becoming a major contributor to Rod Blagojevich's successful gubernatorial election, Rezko assisted Blagojevich in setting up the state's first Democratic administration in twenty years. Rezko was able to have business associates appointed onto several state boards. Rezko and several others were indicted on federal charges in October 2006, for using their connections to the state boards to demand kickbacks from businesses that wanted to do business with the state. While the others pleaded guilty to the charges, Rezko pleaded not guilty and was found guilty of 16 of the 24 charges filed against him. On November 23, 2011, Rezko was sentenced to 10 1/2 years in prison.[1]

Must be nice to be an Obama, Michelle had to work. LOL

2008 Democratic Party presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) purchased his current primary residence, a 6400 square foot house on a 70 foot by 150 foot lot in Kenwood, Illinois for 1.65 million U.S. dollars in June 2005. In January 2006, he purchased a 10 foot wide by 150 foot long strip on the south side of his property for $104,500, bringing the full dimensions of his property lot to 80 feet by 150 feet, increasing its size from 10,500 square feet to 12,000 square feet.

Really don't understand that line of attack or why the Obamas were somehow expected to just live on his salary. Perhaps "Repair_Man_Jack" is just jealous that the best he's been able to do is a fancy double-wide.

The novel's great but it's all over the place too. I mean right in the middle of the narrative we suddenly stop and spend a hundred pages going over the Battle of Waterloo in infinite detail, an event that hardly touches on the storyline to that extent. Anyway, I agree about the musical; it's top-notch. There's a special anniversary performance available on DVD that’s superb.

It definitely doesn't read like a Mark Twain novel, but I kinda like the way it is all scattered and detailed. The overall theme of redemption and how things you do in life linger on with you are also appealing. I agree it perhaps gets into details more than it need be. But I still put it up with the great classics.

My mother-in-law, as a Christmas present, bought tickets for all of us to see Les Miserables in Raleigh this past winter and I was singing the tunes for the next two weeks after watching it (my wife was so fortunate!). The musical IMO is the greatest. My wife likes Phantom better, but I don't think Phantom is in the same league.
