OPINION:
On Friday afternoon, President Obama enlisted the aid of former President Bill Clinton to support his compromise on the tax cuts.
In the middle of the press briefing for this event, Mr. Obama announced that he had to leave because he had kept the first lady waiting for 30 minutes. Where are his priorities? He is fighting to get a bill passed that affects all of America, but it seems his free time is more important than the welfare of the people he represents.
Mr. Obama should be working day and night to get this bill passed instead of having another date night with his wife. This is just another example of the Obamas’ disconnect with the rest of the country.
