Not so nifty: Taxpayers chip in on gift for first lady, who turns 50

First Lady Michelle Obama extended her own vacation, flying to the island of Maui, where she is spending time with family friend Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey’s magazine describes the home as a “perfect 21st-century farmhouse” in a “remote up-country region, where the houses that dot the moss-covered rock hillside face the ocean.”

The president said he sent his wife to Maui as an early birthday present; she turns 50 Jan. 17.

The Daily Caller reports Michelle Obama is also spending time with Gayle King of CBS News, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Sharon Malone, wife of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Taxpayers are chipping in on the gift.

The words, “three dog night” comes to mind while looking at these despicable pics of these despicable women. And my apologies to Three Dog Night, absolutely no connection to these “dogs.”

I. Can’t. Breathe.! It’s The Ghastly Trio, all posed and poised. Those are astoundingly bad and unappealing portraits. Maybe the goal was, “What can I do to look my absolute worst?” EEK!

I’ll be 60 on January 15th. Can I change my birthday? It’s too close to the First Wookie’s birthday.

Taxpayers are coerced by the IRS to chip in on the gift.

His wife’s owning part interest in an abortion clinic should a be a conflict of interest in Holder’s DOJ attack on Catholic organizations. But I guess we don’t bother with tedious little legalities anymore.

Yes, it seems we have a thoroughly lawless administration. They act as if they were not bound by any laws whatsoever.

The fact that Obama nullified Obamacare through his post-mangling of the law is being missed bigtime.

They are using that old Obamahope that we will be none the wiser.

Ever wonder why Obama said no one would be penalized for not signing up?

He knows that there is not a chance in hell he could legally enforce any penalties because Obamacare is a dead law.
