The Obamas continue to disappoint:
When Chelsea Clinton was a student at the Sidwell Friends School, the same school the Obama girls attend, the Clinton family’s involvement with the school’s annual benefit brought in big bucks. In 1996, a round of golf with Bill Clinton went for nearly six figures; another year Chelsea Clinton offered up her babysitting services to the highest bidder.
This past weekend was the Obamas’ first chance to participate in the Sidwell Friends School Dollars for Scholars benefit, and some families who remember the Clintons’ support are disappointed in the Obamas’ first showing.
According to a source with ties to the school, the only items up for bid from the Obamas included a signed copy of the Rolling Stone issue featuring the president and a signed copy of the January Vogue that featured the first lady.
“There were expectations that they might donate something more personal, like the Clintons did,” said another source who knew about the auction. “Lots of people were disappointed.”
A spokesperson for the Obamas said, “We have no comment on this.”
Yet more evidence that this guy is the most narcissistic SOB I believe the world has ever been exposed to.
Amazing only to those who've not been paying attention.
What’s that saying ‘Once is an accident, twice a coincidence, three is a trend’? I’m not sure what number it is or what we should call it now? Screwed?
These people make Leona Helmsley look friendly.

Nah, they're not Leonas. What the Obamas are is nouveau riche. People who are newly wealthy and powerful, and didn't grow up with wealth, usually don't handle it very graciously because they're not used to it.

I never thought I'd miss Bill Clinton, but dang, Obama makes Bill look high class.
