Moth-to-the-flame attraction

Have you been as dumbfounded as I to listen to President Obama castigate the rich, while at the same time hobnobbing with the rich? Victor Davis Hanson asks

Why the moth-to-the-flame attraction to the high life coupled with the rhetoric of the class warrior?

Is it as simple as Occam’s Razor — the Obama class warriors always, as most, liked the idea of the privileged lifestyle: when they could not afford it, they were consistent in their boilerplate rhetoric about the injustice of it; when they could afford it, they were merely hypocritical? End of story?
