“Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post writes that the attacks are unfair and that it’s not reasonable to expect the first family to have a “stay-cation” in Washington, cleaning out closets at the White House. Maureen Dowd’s column ... quotes Obama adviser David Axelrod saying ... ‘If you have the ability to show your kid a part of the world and you can do that together before they get to the age where they don’t want to do anything with you, I don’t think it’s right that you have to defer it because of the politics.’ He makes a good point, and I’m a big fan of foreign travel for kids. I’m also all for mother-daughter trips together. But surely the Obamas have enough foreign travel coming up—to places other than five-star resorts—where the girls can see how people from other nations live and what it’s like for kids who aren’t as blessed as they are.’”
I’ve got an idea for the jet-setting mother-daughter team: how about a trip to Kenya to stay in one of the huts the Obamas live in there? That will allow the daughter to meet some of her relatives her idiot father is so proud of and will allow—in Axelhead’s words—the daughter to “see how people from other nations live” and see how she’d be living if she were in a third-world Marxist country (like her idiot father is trying to turn the U.S. into).
