Your tax dollars at work

While the economy goes down the drain, while we’re at record unemployment rates, the press corps and the White House staff have a luau;

Laughing and clapping like morons.

The Washington Examiner writes;

Straw huts, hula dancers and kids playing with hula hoops were all on display Thursday evening in the White House’s backyard — not the typical congressional picnic.

President Barack Obama wanted it this way for the annual picnic for members of Congress and their families.

“I just want to say to all the members of Congress, you’ve been working hard. I wish I could give you all trips to Hawaii,” Obama said in his brief remarks. “But I figured since, given our budget crunch we can’t do that, that we’d at least bring Hawaii to you.”

A party for a planned 2500 people – on your tax dollars, on your hard earned money. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.

If this had been a Bush party, I’d be able to report how much it cost, but well…apparently that’s not news enough for this administration to make public or for the media to report.
