I for one strongly believe that Michelle doesn’t give a crap what Americans think. Her hubby thinks he can do whatever he wants because he is President.
As a descendant of French (and Prussian) ancestors, I resent the comparison of Michelle to Marie Antoinette. Marie was given a bum rap by history. Read “To the Scaffold” and see for your selves.
I slept late & just got up. While I was waiting for my hot tea to steep I flipped on MSNBC & they were finishing a piece about the trip & it was not positive! They seemed to be talking about the anger it is generating & why it was inappropiate & also how she is not a private citizen.......
This story has some legs......... such a stunningly bad move that it makes you wonder........
The commoners will forgive The Kenyan and The Wookie in time for their Aug 19- Aug 29 vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Remember, they are are betters.
/Sarcasm off
A truly excellent article
I think it's more than that. He thinks can do whatever he wants because no one has ever told him "no"! And, that still goes on today. He simply tunes out the people that tell him "no" and listens to the "yes" men.
Like the encroaching stains of the Gulf oil spill, this ‘vacation issue’ has now reached the international press and pressing into the American consciousness at the peak summer month of August when MANY in America are foregoing family vacations or simply cannot take even a day trip.
The Obamas are PAST beyond ‘ideological’ - they are just plain STUPID!
Obama is just one of many:
1) media,
2) academia
3) Hollywood
4) bureaucrats in DC
5) wall street MBA’s
Too many are serially out of touch with main stream America.
That’s why people like Sarah Palin scare the hell out of them.
“This story has some legs......... such a stunningly bad move that it makes you wonder........”
Indeed — one a couple of possibilities: 1. They (the O’s) are politically inept; 2. they are not planning on running for a 2nd term; 3. they are pretty sure that there will not be another presidential election in the US; 4. they are counting on their buddies in the MSM to cover for them.
My sense is that Barry wants to do his damage and jump.
“The commoners will forgive The Kenyan and The Wookie in time for their Aug 19- Aug 29 vacation in Martha’s Vineyard”
When it rains, it pours. Doubly delicious when the First Couple are their own “rainmakers.” Is Michael Steele channeling these two some behind-the-scenes bribes to get them to keep up this unending string of missteps to improve Republican electoral chances in November?
Maybe Obama really does want a Republican Congress to battle against so that with the blame-Bush excuse running out of steam, he’s got a built-in excuse for any policy failures (”Obamacare woulda worked, but the Republican Congress repealed it”). He and Michelle seem to be doing their best to make this happen.
The French revolutionaries had one good idea.
She is an Angry Person and to the extent she perceives that she is not getting the respect she thinks she deserves, she will become more and more angry.
As a Recovering Angry Person, I understand the process more than most, I think.
Over the years, she has developed a set of rules for how others are to behave toward her, and if they break one or more of her rules, she becomes upset and angry toward them.
Call the list of rules, Michelle’s Rules. For the most part, the rules are irrational. Every Angry Person’s rules are mostly irrational, at least to the extent that the Angry Person thinks they are allowed to become angry when someone breaks one of their rules.
IMO. FWIW. Your mileage may vary.
RE: #13
If you know an Angry Person, try filtering their angry outbursts through the filter I spelled out in #13 and see if it fits.
The Telegraph is printing the news the U.S. Lamestream media won’t. Excellent article that sums up Zero’s Regime quite well.
Here comes the Sun (King)...
I wonder if they will still vacation later this month? That’s gonna go over realllly well if they do..
She's actually just another Michelle Duvalier, a crass third world thugette.
You're right, but I suspect there is a little more to it. Obama has clearly lived a life of privilege, which included successful grandparents, political connections and the benefits of affirmative action. Many on FR wonder who financed his education and travels. Michelle is a Harvard graduate who moved up quickly by virtue of the Chicago Machine.
Lacking from their resumes is real life work experience while in college or in their early lives. The Obama's are strangers to farm work, factory work, construction and burger flipping. John Edwards was right when he said there are two Americas, but wrong about the nature of those two nations. One America is all about work, values and self sufficiency. The other America is about handouts, affirmative action and political payback. Can you guess which America the Obama's live in?
