Bishop Hedd Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Are you doing this because Micheal Moore did it too? Let me tell you, it didn't get him much either. Do you really think that we all need to be in an office in order to work? Are you one of those haters like GG who gets pissed because he has to wear a suit, and I wear flip flops, only, at work most of the time? This is silly. I would think that getting a President the F out of DC would be a good thing for people on the right who hate DC. Right? wait a second...you found a job? No offense I just thought you'd been unemployed for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good for her. Keep spending Michelle, your job goes with you wherever you go!!! :lol: Even if half of this is true, its still !@#$ing funny ****. Top Shelf, NICE!! Maybe she can get the Betty Ford award this year!! :lol: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029615/Michelle-Obama-accused-spending-10m-public-money-vacations.html I can think of legitimate reasons for almost every "excess" that article mentioned. Like "Why spend so much on a farm on Cape Code?" Uh...because the President travels with a pretty large entourage, and the Secret Service chooses spaces that can be secured?

Maybe you should go back to wondering about the "Lone Ranger" movie. Like I said, even if half that article is half true, its funny ****. TOP Shelf, baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DaveinElma Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 It gets even better. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029615/Michelle-Obama-accused-spending-10m-public-money-vacations.html White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol. The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.

Is it possible for you to have a mature disagreement with someone without calling them a name? Your use of putdowns is embarrassing. The reason why Clinton went there is because of optics. Everyday Americans (voters) think of Wyoming as a "down home" destination. Even republicans would have a hard time busting his chops about going to Wyoming. But go ahead, get frustrated and call me another name bro. Edited August 25, 2011 by 1billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama is not helping the perception that he is an elitist by vacationing where the elites vacation. It will not help him come November 2012. Don't mind Tom. Calling people an idiot is his way of making himself feel better or superior to other people. It's his way of feeding his own ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I "defend" 1billsfan by agreeing with him about the perception tied to Obama's vacationing and tell him that you are just feeding your ego, etc. and that is "ganging" up on you? I guess if more than one person disagrees with you you are being ganged up on, but if only one person disagrees with you they are just an idiot? Not only are you an arrogant prick, but you are a thin-skinned assmudgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Congratulations for recognizing the extreme media bias when it comes to Obama. They blamed Bush for the recession, Katrina, gas prices and everything else that went wrong. Now Obama is in office for nearly 3 years and we have 20% real unemployment, record deficits, a declining dollar, declining international influence, $3.75 gas, and inflation on the rise and the big three as well as CNN and MSNBC have mysteriously lost their ability to criticize the President. Even late night talk show hosts will not dare crack a joke at the expense of the anointed one. Obama and the progressives have the main-stream media in their back pocket. It wouldn't bother me so much if they just came out and labeled themselves as the Democratic News Network instead of feigning to be objective journalists. LOL! You sound like a "tea" drinker. Allow me to clarify a few things: real unemployment is more like 12.5% (many baby-boomers like my dad born in '46 are now retiring), our deficits are due in part to the Bush Tax cuts I remember a certain Vice President Cheney who was quoted as saying "deficits don't matter", remember Clinton handed over budget surpluses to Bush W, 2 wars in iraq and afghanistan (one justified by harboring 9/11 attackers, the other unjustified due to erroneious WMD), declining international influence excuse me please clarify (Obama is well received internationally, and has executed a winning foreign policy and he even made the final call to "take out" Bin Laden & went against many in his base in supporting the rebels in Libya despite Lindsay Graham & John McCain as recently as 2 years ago going to Libya in support of Gaddafi, gas hit an all-time under Bush in the late summer of '08, and dipped under $2 per gallon in January '09 after the "unregulated" banking industry crashed our economy, inflation is actually near an all-time low thanks to record low taxes and interest rates have you refinanced your home recently? We can throw sand at each other all day, the problem is their are certain people who would like to see nothing more than our economy to fail and Obama to go with it, these folks tend to be from the Neo-Con Tea Party Right Wing. As a business owner myself the question I ask you is, with taxes and interest rates near an all-time low why aren't businesses and the super wealthy "stimulating" our economy? The facts are they are scared or politically motivated and they are sitting on 2 Billion dollars of cash, hence the Fed Chairman Ben Bernake has had to utilize QE2 to pump cash into the markets to add liquidity that the top 2% are failing to provide. "Trickle Down Reagonomics is a failing policy. I say increase taxes back to 39.5% and eliminate the corporate loopholes for companies like General Electric and their 0 percent taxes paid in 2010 and then you'll start seeing growth.
