Lavish Obama vacation in time of economic turmoil raises eyebrows

demo's losing power for the next 40 years.
You should co-host with Glenn Beck.

@Agent Ferris: You lead the charge I'll be right behind you just watch out for them 20 red dots on the roof. ;)
 
Marie Antoinette never actually uttered the "Let them eat cake" phrase, it was written when she was 13. Don't let that stand in the way of yet another meretricious soundbite from the Rethuglican claque.;)

**** THAT ****, this isn't about the quote this is about the statist whore living like the queen of sheba and bringing her friends along for the ride on the tax payer dime while the masses are tightening their ****ing belts. This ****ing bitch has never worked an actual ****ing job that contributed anything to the economy in her life and neither has her professional student husband.
 
Oh, no. That's my sig. No, I had the cartoon of the guy beating on the keyboard and slowly beating himself to a bloody pulp while both his eyeballs exploded from his head.

Good times.

Only if U posted it in a fundamentalist Muslim state...you know...the ones who really have a hard time with that whole 'coexist' thing...

OH...for some reason that graphic never showed up on my computer.

Anything like this?

 
@Agent Ferris: Sorry, but you're just to much. When Obama won, did you go hide in a bunker? You remind me of that episode of South Park.

You say that neither of them contributed anything but pretty sure they both contributed plenty in the past. She's a much better first lady than most of the "deer in headlights" we get usually.

You say that because in the last 20 months she has done...what again?

I dunno Maxx I have no idea what any first lady does to be honest, I'm talking about what she did before she became first lady. Maybe she does what Laura Ingraham thinks she does and sits around eating ribs all day?
 
Per biography.com:

"As the 44th First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama has focused her attention on issues such as the support of military families, helping working women balance career and family, and encouraging national service. During the first year of the Obama presidency, Michelle and her husband have volunteered at homeless shelters and soup kitchens in the Washington, D.C. area. Michelle also has made appearances at public schools, stressing the importance of education and volunteer work.

Ever conscious of her family's diet and health, Michelle Obama has supported the organic food movement, instructing the White House kitchens to prepare organic food for guests and her family. In March 2009, Michelle worked with 23 fifth graders from a local school in Washington, D.C., to plant a 1,100 square foot garden of fresh vegetables and install bee hives on the South Lawn of the White House. Periodically, throughout the summer, the same students returned to harvest various foods and learned to cook fresh-grown organic vegetables. In 2010, Michelle has put efforts to fight childhood obesity near the top of her agenda."

And she's also continued her career.

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!

please explain what you mean by "movin' on up".
 
Yup! Because all of this wasn't enough, apparently.

"Michelle's impressive resume includes: Former associate dean at the University of Chicago; a member of six boards of directors including the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools and Tree House Foods; and Vice President, Community and External Affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals. In this position she was responsible for all programs and initiatives that involve the relationships between the hospitals and the community as well as management of the hospitals' business diversity program."

To the east side! To a deluxe apartment in the skkkkkkkyyyy!!
 
I love the "outrage" here. It's hilarious, and quite ignorant. Seriously, most of the money came from her wallet, and she can't go around without secret service. What do you expect her to do? Send everyone who's pissed they couldn't go to Spain a present?

Oh, and doesn't secret service have to accompany the president, even after they left office? So what happens when the Carters take a vacation, and use all our taxpayer dollars to have secret service with them? Where's the outrage there?
 
I still think that if the number of people she went with wasn't blown up originally AND she stayed the hell out of Spain and just went to Disneyland or something no one would have a problem with this and/or it would have never even made the news.

I dont know either...but if she WAS just sitting around eating ribs all day that would explain the ginormous ass...

Point being...if you are going to say something like "she's the bestest first lady ever" there OUGHT to be more than your own persoanl political bias to back it up...right?

I work with military spouses every day...individually...through the Family Readiness Groups...through the Family Advocacy programs...just being totally honest here...her name has never come up, there have never been any webinars, nor seminars, nor any other kind of 'nars'...Id TRULY love to see what she actually does other than have a biographer write some trite crap for a website.

Same goes for that magical organic phot-op...I mean 'garden'...

Most of what money came out of her wallet? The travel expenses? The security detail? The accomodations for her security detail and entourage?

And again...the 'outrage' comes when your president says..."Times are tough...we ALL have to scrimp...save...cutback. OK...what I mean is YOU all have to cutback..."

Bull****, the flight alone cost $180,000 rountrip and they said they only intended to reimburse the taxpayer the cost of $15,000, now this wouldn't be as bad if this was for official government business, but it wasn't this was for her own personnel recreation.

and she can't go around without secret service.

Exactly. So don't go to ****ing Spain making the costs exponentially ****ing higher go to anywhere in the U.S. and maybe stay in a 4 star hotel instead of a 5 star hotel, but that's just to much for the Queen isn't it? Let them eat cake.

What do you expect her to do? Send everyone who's pissed they couldn't go to Spain a present?

Excuse me? How about not having the taxpayer footing the bill for the lavish hotel rooms for her and all of her friends at Spain's most expensive 5 star hotel. **** THAT ****.

The level of anger and rage you regularly exhibit makes me want to get stoned. Seriously dude. Life's too short.

She's contributed by the same means all other humans contribute (if they do) by being a productive member of society.

Why don't you look at some other first ladies, and tell me what the First Lady should be doing to meet the standards they set.

She was a lawyer and a career bureaucrat and before that she was a professional student, in other words she hasn't contributed a ****ing thing to the economy.

Can you quote me saying she was Maxx?

WTF has she ever produced?

Not living it up like royalty on the taxpayer dime would be a good start.
