The child’s name is Malia and I’m not sure a school trip is really newsworthy.
Of course it is newsworthy. I’d love to send my children to Mexico with SS protection. As it is, we won’t let them go because it is deemed too dangerous for Americans.
25 Secret Service agents is not a normal number to send with one member of the president’s family. But we are paying for the whole group of children to have protection. It must be nice to be among the 1% and to be in MAO’s class.
I apologized earlier for mis-spelling Malia’s name. The trip is newsworthy with there being so much news coverage of rampant cartel-related violence in Mexico.
Also, in a strugglng American economy, is it too much to ask for the President’s daughter, her thirteen friends, 25 secret service agents and other entourage to at least spend that money in the U.S. in support of American businesses?
Here’s what is newsworthy, we are paying close to $5.00 for one gallon of gas. The Obamas just took their children on a ski trip less than 30 days ago, and before that christmas in hawaii, i have lost track of the vast vacation travel of this family. Obama told us that “you may not be able to take your vacation this year, sacrifices will have to be made.”. Yet, we pay his salary so that he and his family don’t have to make a single sacrifice and they don’t.
