Now, I understand that as a public servant, he has given up many of the privileges that we less-responsible citizens enjoy. But berating a 50-year-old man, who HAS made SEVERAL attempts to improve the standard of living for us (including expanding health insurance to people&#8217;s children up until age 26), for celebrating his birthday with his family and friends because it&#8217;s &#8220;not creating jobs,&#8221; is flat out SHAMEFUL. Especially after there being no qualms for President Bush who spent a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/8301-503544_162-4728085-503544.html\" target=\"_blank\">RECORD-BREAKING 487 DAYS ON VACATION AT CAMP DAVID.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m starting to believe that this nation is just one big Truman Show thing.
