What do you get for the first lady who has everything?
Try a few more days in sun-kissed Hawaii for Michelle Obama while her husband and two daughters return to Washington – so she and her Praetorian guard of Secret Service agents and assorted hangers-on can stay on the islands at no small expense to the taxpayers.
The New York Times is reporting the first lady is staying put “for several days to spend time with friends in advance of her upcoming 50th birthday” – and staying away from the hustle and bustle of her onerous White House duties.
The few extra days, The Times reported, “are part of the president’s birthday gift to his wife, who turns 50 on Jan. 17.”
First, the first lady isn’t a cheap date. The cost of the extra few days isn’t known yet, but when she traveled to the islands ahead of the president in 2011, the White House Dossier website estimated the separate travel would cost about $100,000, including about $60,000 for a separate Air Force jet to carry her ladyship. Then, throw in staffing salaries, and we’re getting into the six-figure range (to put that in terms Democrats understand, that’s about the annual salaries of two public-school teachers in Kentucky — or one no-show public-employee union job in Detroit)
It’s the kind of perfect analogy for Democrats’ idea of government that The Obamaphile Times wouldn’t think of: Barack Obama generously “gives” Michelle the gift of a few days away from him in Hawaii, virtually all of it paid for at taxpayers’ expense – taxpayers of a country, remember, that the first lady once called “downright mean.”
So this year, a little Hawaiian R&R is what you got for a first lady who has everything – everything but class.

The Obamas wouldn’t dare invite the American People to a luau, but only their sycophantic “friends” and assorted fellow travelers.
That would be one “packed” party if tickets ended up in the hands of We the People. 50 states worth for 50 years of Michelle’s graft, grumbling, and greed would be a good start. And surely all the tiki torches would come in handy, lol.
For safety reasons they have to keep the dogs away from obummer. The dogs’ safety. obummer has a history of eating dog.
Dog is the fruit of the land. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, dog-kabobs, dog creole, dog gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple dog, lemon dog, coconut dog, pepper dog, dog soup, dog stew, dog salad, dog and potatoes, dog burger, dog sandwich. That- that’s about it.
I sent her a new tire swing.....
Ha!
Two words, in French. Nouveau-riche.
Since I don’t believe You-Know-Who was born in HI, I don’t hold it against them. LOL.
