Liberal hypocrisy

Once again, the hypocrisy of the political left shows. I’m referring to President Barack Obama’s decision to send his older daughter to Harvard. Really? I thought that he and others on the left were champions of the downtrodden, the oppressed and the underprivileged. Few people from these social classes send their children to Harvard. On the contrary, Harvard is mostly for the privileged elite.

Obama is good at telling others what to do but doesn’t apply it to himself.
