Has the former mayor been prosecuted for using city funds for political purposes?

No. Unfortunately, the former mayor (a Democrat) committed suicide last winter. That was truly a shame since he was a good man and I am sorry he felt that was his onl course. But I am also certain his politics would not have allowed him to push for the payment.

Maybe Obama can sell some of Mocchelle’s used $500 tennis shoes or $1,000 handbags to her admirers and pay the bill!

Or some of the ton of fruit they get from their vegetable garden. I am amazed that they can plant and harvest so early. Must be some amazing dirt - the source of which shall remain sealed along with every other figment of truth.

And those bees are so busy they are using the honey in Obama made beer (by the kitchen chef) and claim it served 200 people for The Super Bowl party. That was after Moochelle gave away jars to wive’s of heads of state. Damn busy bees!
