sprinter Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Obamas' summer break on Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029615/Michelle-Obama-accused-spending-10m-public-money-vacations.html#ixzz1W5VY6txh Isn't she special! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprinter Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Judicial Watch Sues US Air Force for Documents Detailing the Cost to Taxpayers for Michelle Obama’s Family Trip to Africa http://www.judicialwatch.org/news/2011/aug/judicial-watch-sues-us-air-force-documents-detailing-cost-taxpayers-michelle-obama-s-f The professed purpose of Mrs. Obama’s trip was to encourage young people living in South Africa and Botswana to get involved in national affairs. The First Lady’s remarks focused on education, health, and wellness issues. However, accompanied by her daughters Malia and Sasha, her mother, Marian Robinson, and her niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, the trip also included such tourist events as visits to historical landmarks and museums as well as a visit with Nelson Mandela, described by Mrs. Obama as “surreal”. The trip ended with a private family safari at a South African game reserve before the group returned to Washington on June 27. Michelle was probably telling the kids that one of them could be president of the United States someday too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suv_guy_19 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Now that's a bit different matter than a vacation. I should know better than to take your posts, or stories in the Daily Mail, at face value. He's still a failure as President of the United States.

NitrogenJunkie Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 And some people wonder why this country is going broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1083 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I know that argument usually gets countered with "well President xxxxxxx took 20 vacations when he was in office". I honestly dont care who is in office, personally I think they're all crooked. I mean who else raises millions of dollars for a job that pays less that $500k a year? Anyway, I'm not gonna go off on that rant. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you stand on, until people start coming together to agree on things, we're just going to dig ourselves into a deeper hole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
