The graybeards haven’t aged that well; possibly due to all the teeth gnashing over the past 2 months.Posted on 01/07/2017 6:18:02 AM PST by NOBO2012
And so it ends the way it began – with a big party; a private party for friends and donors (redundant) that was closed to the press. Apparently it was casual Friday as both David Letterman and Robert DiNiro arrived in sweaters. I’m a little surprised DiNiro was allowed in at all, as he is on record having threatened to punch President Elect Trump in the face. I guess that’s okay though, since Trump isn't Black.
The graybeards haven’t aged that well; possibly due to all the teeth gnashing over the past 2 months.
The party was otherwise populated with what have been classified as “A-listers” which to the press means celebrities. They chortled that Obama’s farewell bash would host more A-listers than Trump’s inaugural, as if that’s the measure of a man’s import.
Recognize any of these celebrities? Me neither.
“The group will then be clearing out of DC, and no doubt staying far away when Trump is inaugurated on January 20, an event that has failed to draw any of the big names Obama did during his two ceremonies.” - Daily Mail
To which many Americans can only say “amen and hallelujah.” Clear out of town and take your celebrity POTUS and FLOTUS with you; time for the serious people to Make America Great Again.
In other celebrity news yesterday Lady M, still the fashion icon and busy mom™ she’s always been, hosted one last speech honoring the 2017 school counselor of the year. She chose an expensive new designer frock and a new Cleopatra hairchop for her final FLOTUS speech.
Nor did she disappoint the gathering of school counselors and celebrities (because what would a White House event without celebrities be?).
Diversity “makes us who we are,” Obama said at the 2017 School Counselor of the Year event in the East Room of the White House, where she hosted 50 school counselors and a slew of stars. “Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like you don’t matter, or like you don’t have a place in our American story. You do.”
You don’t have to go to Princeton or Harvard Law to craft a message like that - as saccharine as it is banal; it’s just a gift Lady M has.
“If your family doesn’t have much money, I want you to remember that in this country, plenty of folks, including me and my husband, we started out with very little. But with a lot of hard work and a good education, anything is possible — even becoming President. That’s what the American Dream is all about.”
Rest assured Barry and the Broad will not be leaving the White House “flat broke” like America’s lesser first black POTUS and FLOTUS did.
Then things took an emotional turn as Lady M, her voice breaking and eyes filling with tears, said that being First Lady has been the “greatest honor of my life.”
“Being your First Lady has been the greatest honor of my life, and I hope I’ve made you proud,” Obama said. – NY Daily News
Oh honey… how could we not be proud?
Let me count the ways…no, I’ll save that for later.
Why, you might even say that for the first time in my adult life I’m actually proud to see the American First Family moving the hell out.

“...It’ll be 13 more days until I’m proud of my country again.”
Make that “my country’s administration.”
One thing to remember, taxpayers also paid for his airfare, hotel stays among other things.
We also paid for BO’s muslim barber to be flown in from Chicago every other week to shave his head.
We should also get a tally for that cost as well.
If you can stomach it - article and more pictures about the party here:

One comment in the article was that the Obamas would likely pay for it themselves - yeah, right, sure they will (I highly doubt it).
Josh Earnest all said, “’Over the years, the President and first lady have on occasion - not frequently, but on occasion - they’ve hosted parties at the White House for their friends,’ he continued.”
Not frequently??? What about all those weekly Wednesday (or whatever day) concerts???
Her family was middle class. Obama’s Granny inherited a trust and was a bank VP. He went to a very expensive high school. Obama didn’t come from nuthin. Plus he figuratively prostituted himself for wealthy subversives and foreigners to get them into the lap of power, as a white talking mocha ultra leftie. Plus he prostituted himself literally, too, lucrative hobby.
PFL
That was "dead broke."
Words I'll never forget.

“Sometimes she does look halfway decent but seldom do I see anyone who more often seems pissed off at the world.”
I have to agree, Moochie is a very angry guy!
What about the Pentagon paying $640 for toilet seats ?
What would it cost YOU if you had to pay for 30 'staff' members ?
Where’s the pic of Mooch at the basketball game with hairy armpits??
“So Rutledge, who can make as much as $15,000 a day-—”
It says he CAN make as much as $15,000 a day——not that we taxpayers are paying it.
Proves my point.
.
The ONLY thing I posted about was the hair and make up cost to taxpayers,nothing else.
That it could be $15,000.00 a day is not believable.
.
You have some serious problems dude.
Just let it go.
“You have some serious problems dude.”

Really? Are you referring to the fact that I can read?

Take it up with the author of the article.
I have always been proud of my Country. It is the bastards that put obama in the White House that I am not proud of. I did not like them then. I don’t like them now. And I will still hate the bastards 50 years after I am dead and gone.
You, in all kindness, need to see an eye doctor and should never operate a motor vehicle until you do.
The could have been big tippers.
