Modern Liberals, Whine Connoisseurs
An introductory class from Barack & Michelle Obama.

We now are down to two presidential candidates. One went to the Ivy League and Harvard Law School as a young man. The other spent years of his youth in a Vietnam Prisoner of War camp and suffered lifelong injuries. Guess which one whines more about his hardships?
Barack Obama is many things — a senator, a gifted orator, and a charismatic figure. But he’s also a whiner.
In recent months he’s complained about the questions during the ABC News debate with Hillary Clinton because they were not to his liking and whined that the media coverage of McCain wasn’t harsh enough. (Pretty rich coming from Obama.) He whines that scrutiny of his wife’s statements are mean and “low class” and that media scrutiny of his connection to convicted felon Tony Rezko is unfair because he was poorly served by his staff. He claims he is a victim in the Rev. Wright controversy and that the black church is being harshly attacked. Then there is the non-whine whine in the NBC News debate, in which he said that Hillary Clinton “has consistently sent out negative attacks on us, email, robo-calls, flyers, television ads, radio calls, and we haven’t whined about it….”
Michelle Obama whines about the burdens of paying for piano lessons and summer camp for the kids, and the paying off the student loans for her two Ivy League degrees. “The salaries don’t keep up with the cost of paying off the debt,” she complained when they Obama’s cleared half a million a year, “so you’re in your 40s, still paying off your debt at a time when you have to save for your kids.” America is “just downright mean,” she whines and then tells an audience recently in Charlotte, N.C. that “they” (whoever that might be) were constantly changing the rules for the contest and that “they” are constantly trying to undermine her husband. “They raise the bar. Raise the bar. Shift it to the side. Keep it just out of reach.” Gee, isn’t this about the delegate count?
