B-Plus

“A good solid B-plus.”

Obama self-rated his first year as President with a B-plus. Let me repeat that again…an unimpressive B-plus! Americans spent Seven Hundred Sixty Million dollars in campaign money for a fucking B-plus?! My daddy used to whoop me for a B-plus and that was public school, where the tuition was FREE. We spent no money and got a B-plus. Obama spent a quarter of a BILLION for a 3.33 GPA. Good ROI; real smart ass holes.

And now this cat is bitching about bank bonuses and prop-trading desks. As my man Keyshawn Johnson says: “COMMON MAN!!!”

Here is a quick run down of his campaign expenses:

Private chartered jet to exotic location – $400,000
Massive Election Day party – $40.3 million
Salaries and benefits for staff – $58.8 million
Total travel expenses in a two-year period – $60.8 million
Total spending in a 636-day period – $760.1 million

Sounds like a real fat cat right? This guy spent $20,000 an hour flying to Hawaii to visit relatives and conduct his “business”. Sounds more like pleasure than business. And in a 636-day period, he incurs $60.8 million in travel expenses, resulting in approximately $95,000 per day. Most Americans don’t even make $95,000 per year. To put it in perspective, many of us will never earn more than $40 million in a lifetime, but this guy spent $40 million in one night… for a party.

Common man!

Sure, $20 million bonuses for Wall Street bankers seem a little high but these guys earned it because their companies did well. But I guess in this country, we look down on people who earn their money as opposed to people who buy Chryslers and use millions of dollars for a “solid B-plus”.

If you are going to take away anything from this post, let it be that you should never ever EVER buy a Chrysler. Someone should “Common Man!!” the entire company.
