Marie Antoinette in the White House
americanthinker.com ^ | 8/6/2016 | Karin McQuillan

Posted on 08/06/2016 6:04:56 AM PDT by rktman

Daniel Greenfield calls for the end of taxpayer slavery to fund the lavish plantation lifestyle of the current Democrat occupants of the White House. He doesn’t mention the Clintons, but he should. Hillary and Bill have funded their Versailles lifestyle by selling out America to her enemies by accepting bribes, aka speaking fees, from Russia and the jihadi Gulf states.

At the DNC, Michelle Obama put on her victimhood hat one more time and declared, “I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.”

But that’s too past tense. …Michelle Obama lives a life that is more lavish and luxurious than that of the average plantation owner. She has 26 staffers that are part of a White House staff of thousands. … Compare that to 12 servants for Thomas Jefferson.

Yeah, she's upset every morning waking up to a house that slaves built. Well, not THAT upset apparently. Maybe she's really upset because the end is near and they'll have to start paying for the lavish lifestyle out of the lyin' king's (p)residential pension. Not to worry there moochie. No doubt you and the lyin' king will be makin' money hand over fist with appearances and speaking fees. Maybe she could even claim PTSD from the trauma of living at the WH and get a disability check from social security.

For God sake man, don’t give her any ideas. On the other hand she probably already has the paperwork prepared to file here claim once she kicked out onto the streets.

She has to remind herself throughout the day, day by day, of just how much she suffers via the suffering of people who lived over 150 years ago. Her memos to self re: suffering are how she justifies and keeps alive her irrational hatred of millions of white people she has never met and knows nothing about.

The congress approved every dollar that goes in support of this lavish lifestyle. The Obama’s are extravagant people, for sure, but they are just spending what congress gives them.

We should hold congress accountable, but we rarely if ever do. They are fleecing the American people yet we continue to re-elect these thieves.

Meanwhile, the people who work for government have to account for every penny and adhere to a spaghetti maze of laws designed to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse.

The more egregious those at the top are with using taxpayer money for their own benefit, the tighter the laws become for government's worker bees. The same principle applies to ethics.

the American First Lady historically has one or two full-time aides. Hillary was a statistical flyer with four full-time aides:

Michelle Obama has 26 full-time aides.

people are terrified to tell her it’s too many because she’s the first black first lady in US history and no white person wants to tell a black first lady she’s living in an excessively opulent lifeStyle.

That’s an interesting and accurate view. The thieves at the top impose lots of integrity regulations on those at the bottom so they can claim they are ensuring good stewardship of the taxpayer’s money. Its a pretty convincing show for a gullible public, like most of the other political theatrics they produce. Hey, they’re good at this. Its what they do.

Hey, everybody knows when a president and first lady leave the WH, they are "Dead Broke", according to Hillary, and have to resort to stealing furniture and silverware items to hock to make ends meet.

We'll see what these lowlifes make off with when they leave the WH....if they every do. It seems like an eternity since they moved in and sullied the nation's first home.

You're not suggesting, I hope, that the Obamas are spending taxpayer money that has not been appropriated by the Republican Congress, are you?

I mean, it's right there in Article I §9: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law".

So, however much the Obamas spend on vacations, on clothes, on Broadway dates, on rap concerts, etc., etc. must have been appropriated by the GOP Congress, and that means it must be OK, right?

There's a term for that, and they prove it everyday. Somethings never change.

I'm sure she and 0 have diverted enough taxpayer funds into their own pockets that they will never have to worry about money ever again.

The secret there is to not elect people that are blackmailable.

I wish the article would not use the ignorant term, crony capitalism. It is not capitalism at all, bur more akin to feudalism, mercantilism and corporatism. Capitalism is smeared enough as it is.

Do away with the term, crony capitalism.
