President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama departed Friday morning for Southeast Asia, where they will spend the next ten days.

[GOPJ]

Have you noticed a full court press being done by the MSM protecting Obama from the charges of spending too much on this trip?

Groupthing mixed with 'teacher's pet' is an ugly thing to behold.

[al baby]

And so we parrot what the press says oh please

[RoseofTexas]

MY God she looks atrocious!! WHO THE HELL DRESSES HER?? And what the heck is she wearing on her legs? Leggins? She looks bad REAL BAD. Those type of clothes should be worn behind close doors when you are cleaning house or doing laundry!! SHE LOOKS REALLLLLL UGLY!! Are those poke a dots on that nasty looking dress? GIVE me a freakin break!! LAURAAAAA come back!!! Even the BEAST dressed better then this EWOK...HER makeup artist needs to go too!! HOW embarrassing she is representing US! :(

And so we parrot what the press says oh please

If the press is doing our job making the President look like a buffoon, then why stop them?

Something funny:

The trip will also include stops in South Korea, Japan, and Indonesia, where Obama spent time as a child.

Al Rooters makes it sound like he visited Indonesia.

HE GREW UP THERE!

[Pessimist]

“Sorry, I’m still not convinced. About the $2B.”

The $200 mil /day figure is totally unfounded. But that won’t stop a lot of people from believing it.

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!

FReepmail maggief if you want on or off this ping list

[SMARTY]

Is she wearing a brown paper bag?

[badgerlandjim]

"Damn! Turn around! I left the new putter in the Oval Office."

[stocksthatgoup]

So when will the WH release a true estimate of the costs?

[Pessimist]

Same here.

It makes me feel embarassed to hang around here.

It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that a lot of folks on the right are little more than mirror images of those on the left that we mock.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Do you have any other figures?

Do I need any, to doubt an insane estimate like $2B? If I said I saw a 12-ft tall gorilla at the carnival, would you want another figure, or just conclude it's FAR more likely I was wrong?

We're talking about TWO BILLION dollars. Statements like that are extraordinary and require proof.

[Hoodat]

Now that Maine has gone Republican, they will have to eat imported Canadian lobsters instead.

[maggief]

“I agree its too damn high makes us look like boneheads i wish it would stop”

It’s as boneheaded as Biden’s and Axelrod’s comment regarding the Chamber of Commerce. “Prove it wrong.” And, tell us how much this trip IS costing taxpayers.

[RoseofTexas]

They only report on Republican Presidents, but never libs...never! Remember all those vacs the Klinton’s also took...we never found out the cost, but the mediaPUKES always made sure to let us know how much W spend on trips overseas!!

[TexasCajun]

Who did her hair Al Sharpton?

There are not enough carbon credits available for Mooch to straighten that nappy hair every day.

[ColdOne]

Lost in all of this is he is going to Japan..is he going to apologize for the U.S. nuking it? You know he wants to! by the way even if it doesn’t cost 200mil a day no one in this WH is denying anything else about the trip.

[al baby]

I got to confess I think Stacy London would be a lot of fun

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

So when will the WH release a true estimate of the costs?

Oh, about five minutes after they release that long form birth certificate.
