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!

Did you just say it is Glenn Becks fault she went to Spain? Really?

Because that's how the Secret Service works.

Exactly and that should have been taken into account when planning the trip. No excuse.
 
I wonder what Bush and McCain were doing during the Katrina disaster?

Oh, I remember now!

Oh, for the days of a leader like Bush who cared so much that literally 3 years of his presidency were spent on vacation.

Presidents take vacations. They also spend a lot of their vacation time working. Get over it.

Hey smart guy the vacation isn't the ****ing point the point is that she just cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars to go live like royalty and she brought all her friends for the ride, this is exactly the same type of **** that brought down the Shah in Iran, the people were in povery and he was building golden palaces to himself. Seriously viva la revolution bitches, Marie Antoinette over here should get the ****ing Guillotine.

I really don't think there would have been many complaints if the vacation was taken in the states with mostly Obama money. For crying out loud, who do they think they are? Obama complains that people are sitting on their money and not spending in an economic crisis and they spend their money like drunken sailors in other countries. Disgraceful.

No they spent OUR MONEY like drunken sailors.

The reason sometimes Bush is brought up, is because of the hypocrisy, some people vilify Obama for doing certain things that they said nothing about when Bush was in office.

What does it matter to you what the Obamas do in their own time with their own money minus security costs of course.

I thought the number was 250 000? Someone wanna get that story straight?

Meeting the king and queen of nations is always gonna happen, guess you don't like improving relations with allies?

**** that **** bitch, Bush's wife never acted like Marie Antoinette, this is the type of **** that revolutions are made out of. The masses are starving and that ugly bitch is living it up like a ****ing queen and bringing her friends along for the ride on the taxpayer dime. Let them eat cake!
 
Hello? <tap tap>

Redress? Post #91. What exactly is it that the FLOTUS is doing that requires 24 staffers again?
 
Did she take 30 dresses too?

So different from Laura Bush...

"Laura Bush, Entourage Tour Europe

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) _ Thirty different outfits, 15 traveling staffers, dozens of Secret Service agents, scores of embassy personnel, seven pricey gifts, one professional hair stylist.

That's what it takes to see Laura Bush through 15 days overseas.

The no-nonsense first lady, lauded in the French press for her simple style, has appeared during this inaugural overseas mission of hers to be unreconciled to, or at least self-conscious of, the fuss of public life.

Leaving Washington on the same Air Force jet often used by Vice President Dick Cheney, she wryly asked her traveling party: "Did you all have to pack 30 outfits, …

Another point is the Obamas for a couple of weeks now have lectured the public to vacation on the gulf coast if they go anywhere at all. Pres Obama is very vocal about what everybody should do to support their fellow Americans but it doesn't translate to his family.

I'm sorry but trying to compare the French Revolution and This is one of the mutest points ever. Lets go back to the Nazi Comparison, far more closer to home ;)

Economically things are bad, but please, try to stay somewhere in the realm of reality.

So your suggesting Americans raid the White House because we have it so tough on our iPhones, and central air?
 
I'm no shrinking violet, but Agent Ferris is making me nervous.

Yeah, that graphic could get me in trouble.

No, I think he is suggesting that the Obama's obvious double standard when it comes to what they preach, as opposed to what they do with our money will be a major reason for demo's losing power for the next 40 years.

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.;)
