I can’t imagine going somewhere for a month without my wife.
I can’t imagine anyone who has a good marriage, leaving their spouse for an entire month.
I’m sure the excuse would be that their daughter is still in school in Washington, and Michelle is there.
But then, Barack said he was taking Michelle on vacation after he left the White House. What he meant is that he was going on vacation to the south Pacific on his own??? What the heck???
Hmmmm. I thought (yeah, YUGE mistake) when I read about this trip a while back that moochie was going as well. Maybe he and reggie needed some alone time.
Yeah, not the way normal family people act. Definitely the way narcissists act.
And from now on if people question whether he wrote his own memoirs, he’ll point to this month-long party and claim of course he did.
And his other (still underage) daughter is busy drinking and misbehaving at a night club in NYC during her “break” year. Check out the pictures (I don’t have a link, but I’m sure a Google search would display them. They were all over the Web and Free Republic yesterday) of Malia wearing very little and acting very drunk and chewing out a reporter yesterday. She didn’t even have on leggings, and you could see to never-never land up her legs.
The “beard” is no longer required.
He took her to his two gay buddies' place in California when they first left the WH. Then he took her to Branson's island. They've gone a few other places. Now, he's off to a non-extradition island with whomever the current Reggie/s might be. Moo may be glad to get rid of him for a while. Wonder where she's jetted off to. And all of it paid for with tax dollars they skipped off with.
“”But then, Barack said he was taking Michelle on vacation after he left the White House””
They did go - straight from DC on Inauguration Day to Palm Springs for a night or two and then to the British Virgin Islands on Branson’s property for several weeks...Remember they had to make a splash by boarding the Presidential helicopter in front of the capitol for everyone to see!!!
Apparently you didn’t even miss them. Well, neither did I!!!
My wife and I have been happily married for 42 years, retired now and run a beef cattle farm. If either of us has to or wants to go somewhere, the other stays behind to tend to the critters. Not unusual. Standard practice with a herd of cows to care for.
We have been apart for over a month many times. Several military deployments when we were both in the Air Force, family emergencies like when my wife went to help her 80 year old mom after she had two hip replacement surgeries in 6 weeks, my wife's 3-month long trip to Europe with her mom when she retired, my 5-week trip back home to Arizona for my 50th high school reunion and to visit my friends and family, her 6-week trip to Australia to visit with her college roommate and travel together down under, my 5-week trip out west to pick up the two grandkids to take them on a month-long camping trip through the national parks and other sights.
I could go on because there are many more times we've been apart for over a month's time but you get the picture. It may be unimaginable to you, but it is commonplace with other folks.
You may be right about your criticism of the Obamas but don't extrapolate the dim view of them being apart to other folks. Life is a lot more complex than what you make it out to be. Sometimes a long separation is necessary to take care of business or just because life intervenes when you least expect it to.
