I hope Brazil gets the nod.
Are we paying to fly Oprah’s fat ass around as well? Did she fly with Michelle?
I’m with you Dawg!
Bear, Pope, etc.
But it’s for Chicago.../s
Actually, it's worth asking whether spending that cool million bucks represents the commission of a crime....
U.S. first lady Michelle Obama is greeted by Laurie S. Fulton, the U.S. Ambassador to Denmark after arriving at Copenhagen's Kastrup Airport, Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2009. Michelle Obama has joined the Chicago 2016 bid team who are competing with Tokyo, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro for the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The IOC will choose the winning city in a vote on Friday Oct. 2 in Copenhagen.
I'd like to see someone ask Barry if Chicago is safe enough for the Olympics.
since mama obomma promised to “take no prisoners”, this trip will be billed to the pentagon.
probably all the tag-a-longs THEY wanted to take on a little trip.....
..has anyone seen how many flights both planes have been used for since Jan 20th?
I live in the Chicago area, work downtown, and definitely DO NOT want the 2016 Olympic Games here. This is a boondoggle of the worst sort that will enrich the criminally corrupt Richie Daley administration and cronies, while draining the taxpayers of Illinois. Yet Daley and his criminal gang are intent on ramming this down our collective throats. Just like Barack Obama and the criminal democrat party intend with the health care debacle.
This behavior by the Daleys and Obamas is outrageous, and I get angrier by the day!!!
We have been taken over by a regime of African tribal chiefs with the moral compasses of Chicago borough managers.
They wouldn't give Biggie BO & MO what they want just because they flew to the meeting, would they?
More hope and change.
Where do you get those figures? Sorry, just wondering..

That figure does not include personnel, per diems, hotels for all the SS, the extra aircraft to fly helicopters, and everything needed for his royal entourage. This trip will end up costing the taxpayers OVER $90 MILLION DOLLARS. It will also cost the local authorities to "keep him safe".
