Do As I Say..Not As I Do

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Luke 6:41

The streets are eerily quiet
. No delivery truck has passed in hours. The can collector with his jam box fastened to his shopping cart has the volume at a dull roar. And the distant humming of helicopters hovering begins to make its way to full blown overhead noise...
President OBama is making another NYC appearance at Cooper Union today three short blocks away...
Having seen more than enough of my share of him, I hesitantly stroll over to watch the madness unfold. There on Third Avenue behind the sterile barricades, with secret service trucks lined up outside McSorley's Pub and NYPD's finest scouring the rooftops, I witness one million dollars of press hungry pomp and circumstance go by with his south paw waving inside the motorcade. And shamefully wished I wouldn't have taken the time...

If there is no dividing line between Main Street and Wall Street Mr. President, then cut government spending....starting with the 500 motorcycle cops leading your own pompous brigade.

Don't you just want to scream Hypocrisy?
