I guess my ideal scenario for the hypocrisy part would run like this, "Mr. President, do you feel the least bit uncomfortable signing legislation that stop the average American from playing a $10 poker tournament in his home, while you have a monthly ILLEGAL home poker game in Crawford or DC where lobbyists and industrialists lose thousands of dollars to you to curry favor?" That probably will never come to pass as the soft left media hates gambling as well.

I don't get this. Does this make the average American say "jeez, online gambling should be legal!"?

It sounds to me that it is more likely to make them say "Our elected president is a law-breaking hipocrit, yada."

Am I missing something?

If someone were to go this route, a better way to make the point while still using the same example would be something like this:

"Mr. President (or whoever is found to have a regular poker game), you have fun playing your Saturday night poker game, right? Just you and some friends or colleagues enjoying a game of cards and wagering a few bucks. Well, that's what millions of Americans would like to do in the comfort of their own homes, even if they can't get the boys together for a live game. They just want to play an enjoyable game of poker over the internet."

Something like that. Same example, but with a positive spin.
