Shared suffering

From Michael Walsh, in the New York Post:

On Aug. 3, the day after America supposedly goes broke, the president flies to Chicago for a couple of 50th-birthday fund-raisers — at up to $38,500 a pop.

Then it’s off to Martha’s Vineyard, where the first family will spend a week or so on yet another vacation, at the 28-acre Blue Heron Farm, which comes complete with its own basketball court, pool and boathouse.

For at least one American family, times have never been so good. Too bad the rest of us can’t say the same.
