Obama, Daughter Tour Md. State House (Public, Reporters Kicked Out for Michelle Antoinette)
The Washington Post ^ | Tuesday, August 10, 2010 | Aaron Davis

Posted on 08/10/2010 11:45:57 AM PDT by kristinn

Reporters with offices in the Maryland State House Tuesday were escorted from the building and tourists turned away so that First Lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha can tour the historic Annapolis building in private.

Police also cleared 50 bystanders from a public square and then moved them even further away -- to a roadway median more than 600 yards from the State House--SNIP

They made an interesting choice. Most people who go to Annapolis tour the Naval Academy first. I guess the thought of being surrounded by military people didn’t appeal to them.

What is the legal basis for this? Anyone know?

The peasants are not allowed to mingle with Royalty.

Michelle the Moocher

with apologies to Cab Calloway

folk’s here’s the story ‘bout Michelle the Moocher
she was a red hot hoochie coocher
she was the roughest, toughest frail
but Michelle had a butt as big as a whale

(hidey-hi’s!)

she messed around with a bloke named Barakey
she loved him, though he was coke-y
he took her down to Chinatown
and he showed her how to kick the GOP around

(hidey-hi’s!)

she had a dream about the King of Spain
he gave her things that she was needin’
gave her a home built of gold and steel
a diamond car, with the platinum wheels

(fast hidey-hi’s!)

he gave her a townhouse and his racing horses
each meal she ate was a dozen courses
she had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
she sat around and counted them a million times

(hidey-hi’s, one mo’ ‘gain!)

poor min, poor min, poor min!

She only returned from Spain yesterday.

She's spent more time out of the White House than in it. What's her problem?

I gotta be honest with you, I am impressed. This broad has stamina. I am tired just thinking about her travel schedule. She just got back from Spain, or was It the Gulf coast, No it was Main, or is it the Hampton's.

She is like Yasser Arafat, Never two nights in the same bed!

The Post has rewritten the article at the same link, adding more details.

SNIP

The visit was described as a "private tour" and a Washington Post reporter with an office in the State House was told to leave the building as the Obamas arrived. Other reporters were told they could not enter the building once the tour had begun. Several House and Senate staffers who were allowed to remain inside said they were told to turn away down hallways or into offices as the family passed. Outside a crowd of about 50 onlookers were pushed back three times, ultimately across a roadway.

This is really bizarre behavior. Even the governor didn’t know she was coming.

Barack Hussein Obozo: "We have met the enemy, and it is we"!!!!!

The longer this clown is in the WH the more he and his wife become their own worse enemies. Keep it up Barry, you're doing a great job!!

Shades of Hillary and anyone who happened to be in the hall when she was walking about. Were those at the Statehouse told to avert their eyes from MO?

I love that she is adding fuel to the fire, but what is going on, here?

Agree — can’t she enjoy the WH patios/grounds and relax for a day while the kid plays outside with that dog of theirs?

THAT sounds like a nice little vacation to me! I might even order up a mint julep!

No really. What is the legal basis for this? If I were there in the public square smoking my cigar because I'm not allowed to smoke it inside any buildings anymore, could I tell the cop that I didn't feel like leaving?

And also, is the cop a Federale? I thought the O's didn't want the locals enforcing Federal law.

I agree. Something is very awry here.

We all predicted he'd implode but perhaps it will be her?

Traveling is exhausting especially when you are jumping time zones like that. Sure seems like something very odd is going on in the halls of the WH. I guess we can only speculate.

There’s an old song called, “Minnie the Moocher.” Haha, We can rename this, “Michelle the Moocher.” Sounds good to me.

Or at least declaring its valued as imputed income on their tax return for the year.
