Debbie Schlussel: Quote of the Day


By Debbie Schlussel

Families are tightening their belts and so should Washington.

--President Barack Hussein Obama, announcing the freeze in salary for top staff (who already make almost $200K per year) and apparently meaning, "Familes are tightening their belts and so should Washington, with the exception of the Obama family."

Examples of Obama Washington "belt-tightening":

* $55,000-plus per year for Malia and Sasha Obama to go to swanky private school with gourmet organic meals fit for an Oprah

* Michelle Obama spending $100,000 to redecorate White House residence just redecorated four years ago.
