Michelle Obama: ‘splurging is the key to life’

Sometimes you just can't write a better title than the one someone blurts out.

'Splurging is the key to life' says Michelle Obama.

If there is any one authority on splurging, it's Queen Michele. Does she ever know how to splurge.

From Judicial Watch:

Her 2013 trip to Dublin cost us nearly $8 million.

Her trips to Africa and Honolulu in 2013 cost us $15 million.

The Obamas were averaging a vacation a month through March 2013.

She get to spend an elongated vacation at pal Oprah Winfrey's palazzo in Maui. It was the beginning of a birthday party that lasted through January 19th, when she enjoyed most of Hollywood at a White House bash.

Just last month Michelle sauntered off to China. We don't know how much that cost.

Michelle doesn't hesitate to splurge on herself either:

And as Dr. Paul Williams noted, who can forget Michelle Obama saying: “In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service.” (First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants; 8/17/09) Ironic, isn’t it, this coming from the woman who said she hadn’t been proud of America her entire life until after her husband cashed in on the presidential lottery ticket, er, I mean, she said until after he was elected. But I digress.

Obama unfathomably sang the blues that Michelle Obama didn’t get paid for her duties “even though that’s a tough job.” But he omitted the fact that she has twenty-six attendants (i.e., staff) at an annual cost to taxpayers of $1,750,000. That includes a hair dresser and the same make-up artist Oprah uses who charges $15,000 per day for his services. Actually I’m surprised she didn’t try to put her daughters on her payroll insofar as she lied and named them as staff when she took her taxpayer-funded African safari where she ate her way through the jungle.

Before you lefties get all lathered up, I know she would claim that she was talking about food.

But anyone with a brain knows better.

Remember back in 2008 when Michelle said:

splurging on the taxpayers' money is the key etc.

Washington loots and plunders the rest of the country so that useless government bureaucrats can live high off the hog. Nice work if you can get it.

Make up = $15,000 per day

Might be worth it if we have to look at her, and if it worked.

Well, I suppose, rhetorically speaking, Michelle is far way too up her Ivory Tower, far too well-connected, walled-off from the rest of society to ever be dealt a lesson to within an inch of her life. Except for God.

Reminds me of my favorite joke, of which I've found some people don't seem to get.

This small time hood would regale in how Frank Sinatra had once saved his life. In some back alley in Las Vegas one very late night, he was being beaten to a pulp to within an inch of his life, nearly unconscious he recalls hearing Frank Sinatra's voice,saying, "OK,that's enough, boys".

If you figure each person on her staff is 150k salary and benefits, that’s $3.6 million per year.

I wonder how this squares with, “I am the way the truth and the life...” and “I have come that they might have life and have it abundantly.” I guess Jesus was talking about splurging and it has taken Michelle until now to point this out to the unwashed masses. I’m sure readers here are grateful.

Splurging on OPM (Other People's Money), she meant to say.

Splurging on the taxpayers dime is extra special.

Michelle likes to pig-out with gal pals at Shake Shack - Wa Po called her out on it after she was spotted eating an 1800 calorie feast:

And don't let's not forget the pic of her shake:

However, in all fairness to Michelle, she DID have a Diet Coke with her meal ...

The President’s wife (forget “First Lady” title of nobility) should not get bus fare from the taxpayers. If she wants to travel let her pay her own way. Same goes for Republicans.

What was the one vacation they had that cost a record $100 million? I remember reading that last year. Just think: How many kids have cancer right now and their families are getting killed with medical bills. For $100 million, 1000 kids could have gotten $100,000 each. But yo man, Mooshelle gots to SPLURGE yo!!
