No sympathy here

The Messiah, despite not even having been sworn in yet, is already moaning and complaining about the press and security contingents constantly following him around. He's already ditched the reporters once during his Hawaiian vacation, a "breach of longstanding protocol".

Well, he's special, you know. You'd think the fawning press that blatantly supported his election would be understanding enough to cut him some slack. What's that? The rules are different now that he's won, and they need that shot for the six o'clock news?

I'm not very sympathetic for Mr. Obama. After all, he wanted the job and actively sought it out while being fully aware of the duties and responsibilities that come with it. You can't shut everything down after 5 and on weekends and be just a regular guy that goes to the mall to pick up dinner at Applebees, you know. I'm similarly unmoved at the movie star who rates $20 million or so per film, then gets upset because someone takes a picture of them getting coffee in Malibu. It all comes with the territory.

"During the first week in Hawaii, Obama has had to deal with paparazzi waiting in the distance, photographing him shirtless outside his beachfront vacation home and later while spreading his grandmother’s ashes at the Pacific coast."

Illegally, by the way. But hey, rules are for the peasants, right? Not only doesn't he want to have his picture taken when it isn't convenient for him, he can also apparently put human remains wherever he pleases, regardless of what everyone else (can't) do.

If he's getting stressed out now, wait until he's officially in office. He'll be out having a cig in back of the White House in no time.
