You sound like a conspiracy theorist here. Bush was criticized for his many trips away from the white house while the country was facing problems.

Again we have the same issue, Obama's go romping around the country, and world after criticizing big business for their lavish bonuses and trip perks handed out at tax payer expense. Let us also factor in that many Americans are tightening their belts, trying to make ends meet, the fact that these two seem to be so ungrounded and out of tune with the problems the average citizen is facing, it's horrible PR and they deserve the criticism now as much as Bush did when he was in office. It's valid criticism and well deserved IMO.


Thou shalt not cast criticism towards the chosen one. So saith LG and all the other libtards

The attacks on Michelle are not about her. Its a proxy for criticizing Obama.

Obviously.

I forgot. The mindless right is a collective and everyone on this side all thinks the same and are fed the same talking points. My bad. How dare I stray from the plantation and try to separate the two. Or how dare I say this for grouping the two together since they are one family and apart of one administration.

Still think this is garbage politics. Again, if a right winger were in the oval office the lefties would be screaming the same thing. To think or insinuate otherwise is nonsense.

I wonder why she gave her children Russian names, was that in deferrence to the commie Ayres family who named their child after a black muslim??

I wonder why you chose the letters gs in your username.
Maybe it stands for gay soldier...
You know who else was big on gay soldiers???

Regardless of political party, when you preach frugality and cutting back, and your wife goes off to Spain for a personal trip living in luxury on the tax payers dime, you deserved to be hammered for it. If it was State business, then maybe she would have a case, but its not, its a personal trip.

With the conversation being excess spending, a flailing economy, and demands for CEO's to be fired for similar behavior, I'll do the same for a Republican. Line up Coburn and McCain's pork spending report and I'll blast whoever is responsible. My own Senator here in GA gets heated words from me all the time about his little pork projects especially in south GA.

Yes, Bush deserves chastisement as well. but when a President tells me how I need to sacrifice and how I have to tighten my belt and budget when his wife goes off jetsetting to comfort a friend? Nope.

I know some aren't shocked even if they don't agree with her actions. But I think some are shocked at her choices and i'm shocked they're shocked.

If a certain TE had a store that sold exciting car suspension products he could name it Shockey's Shocking Shocks.

The 'gs' is for 'Grinder's Switch', realizing you've never heard of cousin Nabob, however you do win a carrot for knowing that Adolph Hitler aka Alois Schicklgruber should be described as a 'flaming bundle of twigs:'

The PinkSwastika 4th Edition - Final

In Germany’s National Vice, Samuel Igra wrote that as a young man Hitler “had been a male prostitute in Vienna and Munich” (Igra:67). Lending credence to this is the fact that for quite a long time Hitler “chose to live in a Vienna flophouse known to be inhabited by many homosexuals” (Langer:192). That “flophouse” was the Meldemannstrasse Hostel. Hitler’s long-time “gay” friend Ernst Hanfstaengl identified this residence as “a place where elderly men went in search of young men for homosexual pleasures” (Machtan:56). “It was an open secret at the beginning of the 20th century,” adds Machtan, “that municipal hostels for homeless males were hubs of homosexual activity...[where many young men] kept themselves afloat by engaging in prostitution. Hitler spent over three years in this environment” (Machtan:51).

This would help to explain Hitler’s close relationships to his purportedly homosexual patrons Dietrich Eckart and Karl Haushofer. Rector writes that, as a young man, Hitler was often called “Der Schoen Adolf” (“the handsome Adolf”) and that later his looks “were also to some extent helpful in gaining big-money support from Ernst Roehm’s circle of wealthy gay friends” (Rector:52).

But Hitler was apparently not involved with homosexuality solely to survive financially. Even in his pre-Nazi years, most of Hitler’s reputed homosexual encounters were consensual meetings in which no money changed hands. Machtan suggests that each of Hitler’s longer-term relationships in his youth -- with Reinhold Hanisch, August Kubizek, Rudolf Hausler and Ernst Hanfstaengl -- were homosexual “love affairs.”

There are numerous other incidents (“one night stands”) in which Hitler was purported to have been the solicitor and not the solicited one. Eugen Dollman, former member of Himmler’s staff and one-time Hitler interpreter, cited testimonies from the files of the Munich vice squad in which a series of young men identified Hitler as the man who had “picked them up” on the streets for homosexual relations (Machtan:135ff). Dollman himself was also homosexual (ibid.).

Wonder no more gorockytop!

BTW, there is more than ample evidence that Barry is a swtich hitter himself.

As a matter of fact Obama's childhood mentor mentioned in his books, Frank Marshall Davis was a pedarest and probably initatiated Barry into the fold.

Wait, wait, wait.

How does AF2 cost about 11.5K/per hour to operate versus AF1 cost 56k per hour?

I know one is a 767 and 747, but come on. Also, The numbers have to be skewed. A trip to Crawford, TX simply cannot cost close to a trip to Spain. (250K vs 300k) And I doubt Bush is taking 70 security personnel to his ranch in the middle of nowhere Texas.

Actually they're both 747's. Also, when the pres goes anywhere the backup 747 is always nearby. Bottom line, it just really costs a lot to move the pres in an airplane. But 375k for the wife to go to Spain is absolutely ridiculous. Most shocking though is that LG hasn't called anyone a racist on this thread yet. Give him time.

You know what happens when Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck defecate in the same toilet and you flush it?

This thread.

There are far bigger problems for us to worry about than a wasted 375k, but I suppose this has always been the way of American political discussion. We don't talk about the mortgage crisis, the onset effects of the new health care bill, or excessive government handouts... we're gonna piss and moan about vay-effing-cations.

And this attitude is why we end up having these discussions. Because $375K here, $1mill there, etc. all add up. You just don't get it. It's people just recklessly spending other people's money with no accountability or consequences. The substance of this whole discussion boils down to at the end of the day, the powers that be don't care about the spending because it doesn't come out of their pockets. Every single one of the issues you mention are all tied together. Add to the fact you have a guy telling me to tighten my belt while he himself does not apply that same standard to money he takes out of my paycheck.

So you can whine about us talking about this issue, but in the grand scheme of things, wasted spending is a major problem no matter what the dollar amount is. If the person is jetsetting with your money you better be darn sure to know they're even more reckless with the rest of the money.

You realize the stimulus was exactly 2,000,000 times more expensive than this vacation?

What irks me is that this thread has 7 pages of responses... in terms of money, 375k is jack. There have been a few posts, like yours, attacking the principal of wasting money, which is fine and good... but most of these are just more reasons to personally attack the POTUS and his woman.

edit: that is a nice rack.
