Our Pampered President

Despite all those jobs he created, all those millions he gave to charity, and all those examples of personal compassion and kindness he demonstrated, the media treated Mitt Romney as the wealthy, pampered, and aloof cad who was running against the sainted populist, Barack Obama.

Yet which one of these two has spent the last three weeks whining, blaming, and primping? And which one is preparing to take off on another of his oh-so-frequent frequent vacations -- a three-week, $4 million vacation -- while the country gets ready to plunge off the dreaded fiscal cliff?

Oh, for a fair press.

Oh, for an intelligent citizenry.

Oh, for a couple more aspirins.
