Good for them.
Sad that they had nobody else they cared enough about to leave it to them.

Morons.

Seattle.

Mrs. Obama thanks them for the first hour’s expenses for her next vacation.
Should have donated to Salvation Army, their local food bank, pet rescue .. anything other than Fedzilla, where most of it will go to government employees and the unions.
Not to worry.
They will still be voting for years.
