She hops on board the backup 747 and flies to Copenhagen SEPARATELY from the prez. $56.5k per hour is $452k x 2 means the taxpayers just paid $904k for the flights there, and including the return the tab is $1.8 MILLION NOT INCLUDING limos, advance security, security while there etc. etc. This is easily going to be $5 MILLION paid for courtesy of the taxpayers of the U.S. to benefit a few people involved in securing the Olympics for Chicago.
My question is, is she as narcissistic as the prez that she considers herself self-important and deserves her own adulation from the adoring masses?
Yea, I know, this is a vanity but it truly pi**es me off that the world is going to he*l in a handbasket, yet they put the problems of the world on hold for this?
Someone wake me when this nightmare is over..
I hope Brazil gets the nod.
Are we paying to fly Oprah’s fat ass around as well? Did she fly with Michelle?
I’m with you Dawg!
Bear, Pope, etc.
But it’s for Chicago.../s
Flying to Copenhagen on Air Force One, great - Flying to Copenhagen on Air Force One without Michele - priceless.
Actually, it's worth asking whether spending that cool million bucks represents the commission of a crime....
U.S. first lady Michelle Obama is greeted by Laurie S. Fulton, the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark after arriving at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport, Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009. Michelle Obama has joined the Chicago 2016 bid team who are competing with Tokyo, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro for the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The IOC will choose the winning city in a vote on Friday Oct. 2 in Copenhagen.
I'd like to see someone ask Barry if Chicago is safe enough for the Olympics.
I agree. Will the itsy bitsy bikini relay be an event in 2016?
since mama obomma promised to “take no prisoners”, this trip will be billed to the pentagon.
probably all the tag-a-longs THEY wanted to take on a little trip.....
..has anyone seen how many flights both planes have been used for since Jan 20th?
I live in the Chicago area, work downtown, and definitely DO NOT want the 2016 Olympic Games here. This is a boondoggle of the worst sort that will enrich the criminally corrupt Richie Daley administration and cronies, while draining the taxpayers of Illinois. Yet Daley and his criminal gang are intent on ramming this down our collective throats. Just like Barack Obama and the criminal democrat party intend with the health care debacle.
This behavior by the Daleys and Obamas is outrageous, and I get angrier by the day!!!
We have been taken over by a regime of African tribal chiefs with the moral compasses of Chicago borough managers.
It appears that Sasquatch needs bigger secret service men......to cover her as_.....
Rio? Chicago? Rio? Chicago? Bikinis or thugs? There is a choice?
Holy Cow!!!
