All Fun and Games

The White House held its annual dinner party in Washington D.C last night and stars from all over the country came to celebrate the tradition. President Obama, who spoke at last night’s party, joked about all of the issues he has faced throughout this fiscal year and tried to loosen up the crowd with some jokes about the failure of the Obamacare website later last year. All of these jokes could be taken the wrong way. But the real question is, what was the point of all these jokes when this website could hurt a family who really needs health insurance?

                These jokes made by President Obama kind of frustrates me and some people might take offense to these types of jokes. Many people in the United States needs health insurance and because of the failed launch many people might not have gotten it at the time that they wanted. I understand that Obama doesn’t have to use his own health care system but millions might need it for their own good and joking about it cannot make anything much better for him and the entire Democratic Party.

                This is what irritates me about President Obama. He feels like he has nothing to lose so he says what he pleases. Even though he can’t run for President again in 2016 (thank God) it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a responsibility as President of the United States to make sure this nation is better off when he leaves and President Obama has not lived up to those expectations. So joking about the matter is relatively funny.

                If Obama wants to joke about something then maybe he should joke about his tenure as President. Millions of lives rely on health insurance to make sure they can get the help they need and deserve and joking about it is not going to anybody at all.
