Brad is attempting to push a Limbaugh talking point that somehow President Obama is a bad person. They don't quite have the facts to back themselves up, so they hope they can just paint him with anything circumstantial that happens on any given day.

In this particular case, they are trying to argue that since Obama has pointed out that the biggest contributor to our deficit is Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, that he must somehow hate the wealthy, even though by any reasonable measure, he's among the wealthy with his and Michelle's household income.

But setting that fact aside (because it doesn't fit their narrative), they are clumsily attempting to suggest that somehow Obama hates wealthy people. And that by taking a few days to spend time with his family in a part of Massachusetts where some wealthy people vacation, he must be totally conflicted, because he wants them to pay the same tax levels they paid when the country was at its peak of financial stability and power in the 90's.
