Lavish Obama vacation in time of economic turmoil raises eyebrows

It is not about taking a vacation. Its the cost. Would not have been better to spend it in the US?

Are you being serious? I hope you don't think hundreds of thousands or even millions will help the U.S. very much considering our debt is trillions(thanks Obama).
 
when it comes to Conservatives, Obama can't do anything right and never will do anything right. I think it has something to do with the color of his skin.

Stop speaking left-wing rhetoric and playing the race card and think for yourself.

no, I am basing that presumption of off personal experience. I have lived in Alabama for five years know and I think it is safe to say a lot people down here still dislike blacks but nowadays behind closed doors.
 
I could never understood the mentality of taking multiple vacations within short spans of time. I took a week off from work (since I lose my vacation time at the end of the year) and I was bored out of my skull. I couldnt wait to get back to work .

Oh so you have met every conservative because you have made a generalization about every conservative...

I suggest taking a better vacation then.
 
I never said every conservative. It's foolish to say every conservative hates Obama because he is black. However, there is a lot of irrational hate which I think stems from racism.

i.e. birthers and people who think he is the Anti-Christ.
 
I love watching the hysterical right bitch about trivial things. It really is hilarious.

I had no trouble with Bush vacations, and I have no trouble with Obama vacations. Is there something meaningful we can actually talk about?

My point was why not spend the dollars in the US rather than oversees. Ask some resort if they would have liked Obama's vacation business.
 
Sometimes indifference is a good thing. Not every event has to be a subject for hysteria.

And those like myself who know he is the Anti Christ.
 
Is that the royal 'we', or Schizophrenics r'Us, or what? You really only can speak for yourself.

This isn't about Bush. For God's sake STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM. He's not the damn president FOR OVER A YEAR! This is Barack Hussein Obama's mess. His wife takes a $400,000 vacation meeting with kings and movin' on up. He's been on vacation since he bought the election. We're ALL tired of them! We want them OUT of the White House!
 
Yawn.

Is it stupid politically? Absolutely.

Does it really matter? No. The majority is coming from their own money. The secret service have to go with them, its not like she gets a choice. To my understand she's gotta fly on an air force plane, there's not really a choice. We were running up debt under Bush and trips to African Safari's weren't needed, and by no mean was a "Conservative" choice of fiscal responsability, but I don't care. We were in horrible economic times when Nancy Reagan went on vacation in the early years of her husbands Presidency, and I don't care.

People go on vacation, the majority of the vacation is being paid for with her money, I see no reason why she should have to or be forced to regulate where she is going.

Is it stupid politically because it shows a great divide between American families taking "staycations" and other such things and the Obama's? Absolutely. However I don't see it as something that needs some giant foaming at the mouth public focus and outcry, as its really not a big deal in relation to the majority of things going on.

its really not that as much as it portrays an arrogant snobbish attitude.......and all the while Obama plays more golf, invites the "dream team" over for some hoops and grills out on the south lawn......he has trivialized the importance of the office

WOW! a whole five years, now you are an authority on diversity
 
Good God! What the ****! People here are suffering the worst recession on memory, and Queen Obama is living the life of the rich and famous on our dime? Que Robin Leach!




Oh, By all means then say no more! WOW! The arrogance of these people!

Let them eat cake!

Well, j-mac, I guess we can thank the racist teabrains for a 400% rise in threats to the President and his family.

I imagine it'd be cheaper for them to take a normal vacation if Glenn Beck and fear mongers didn't spend their days making the far-right afraid of their own shadow...

Who's the boogey man of the week, j-mac? Acorn, La Raza? wait, I know... It's that judge in San Fran... Boo! Gays are coming to getcha!
 
Baloney. People see what they want to see, and you're looking at him through your "I hate Obama" filter.

Even in the best of times, not that many people could afford the kind of trip she's taken to Paris. Or any international trip, really. So should no FLOTUS travel overseas during their White House years?

You mean the democrat plants that tried to hold up some racist signs and were kicked out of a tea party event? 400% rise eh, that couldn't have to do with the economy being at nearly a 20% unemployment in real numbers, and the President, and his wife looking like they couldn't care less could it? Noooooooo.

Ohhhhh, Glen Beck....Yes, the Obama's are so afraid of little ol Glenn Beck....He is so scary, what with exposing all Obama's agendas before the liberal goof balls have a chance to spin them and lie eh....I can see where that would be an annoyance. As for afraid, I don't need Beck, or Hannity, or Limbaugh to tell me what I see with my own eyes. The utter destruction of the average man's ability to make a living, buy a house, raise his children. That's being taken away in favor of dependance on the government. Now I know that liberals think that will be a panacea of good things, it will only lead to the fall of this country and the enslavement of its people.

I don't believe in so called "Boogey Men" Nut. Only the cleansing light of truth. I know that is something lying demo's and liberals hate.

Not at all, but do you think it is the best image she could have put forth? Really? Taking a group of people with her like some newly rich rapper and throwing money around like she stepped out of a Snoop Dogg video? All this while thousands of American's get their pink slip daily? Good show!

It went up when he announced he was running so yeah; not so much.

"Snoop Dogg video"? Sir, I do believe your racism is showing.

you'll have to explain that one....If you can.

yeah, I don't think so....Tell me, why 40 friends? why the group around her on our dime while others lose their jobs today?

how is comaparing one black person to another racist? Just because you make a statement about a person, and that person is "non-white" doesn't make it a racist statement.

this is pathetic. Disagreeing with Obama is not racist. speaking about his wifes 75k a day taxpayer money trip with 40 of her BFF's is not racist. You embarrass yourself when you post such drivel. :thumbs:
