A little fun with rhetoric
In February, President Obama was chastising recipients of bailout funds for holding business meetings and retreats in exotic places. His comment was:
“You can’t get corporate jets, you can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Ok, so you can’t go to Las Vegas on the taxpayers dime. However, you CAN go to New York to see a Broadway play. In a statement today, Obama said:
“I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished.”
But he must not have traveled to New York or paid for the tickets using taxpayer money, since Obama said last week “We are out of money now,” referring to the U.S. government running a $11 trillion deficit.
Yes, I’m poking a little fun at Obama’s comments, but this is just an example of how rhetoric can be used against you.
Hope you have a great weekend!
