The Obamas aren't big into birthdays and Christmas, however they did mention parties instead of gifts.
Maybe they celebrated in private a week early. Maybe birthdays aren't a big deal. Maybe BHO wanted some alone time as a birthday gift.
Speculating on possible marital problems just makes them the victims. Keep the focus on how tone deaf both Obamas are. Make Michelle Antoinette the issue.
Hillary and Chelsea constantly traveled the world without Bill. Hillary went on First Lady diplomatic goodwill trips, not on live it up vacations. Michelle's trips are like a like a drunk on an expense account.
All that said, you would think they would understand at least a little both the political downside of this trip and the political upside of trotting out the sweet family birthday celebration images — even if they celebrated a week early.
What!!??? How did you arrive at THAT conclusion?
If they have marital problems (which I believe they do, in the absence of any other explanation), it's self-inflicted and there's NOTHING victim-related about that!! They EARNED it!!
Yeah, why constrain your partying to just two or three days a year?
Come on, he's been celebrating a "birthday week," according to the press, or at least a "birthday weekend..."
Do us a favor...don’t play devil’s advocate again. I could have gone all century without being reminded about the Clinton escapades and how they wasted our money. It’s disgusting...these people need to be physically dragged out of the WH and thrown in prison.
