"The First Lady and several close family friends are chaperoning their children on a ski trip. Personal expenses are being paid for by the Obamas."

No, the weather in Indonesia is 200 degrees and sunny w/ 99 percent humidity.
This may seem impossible, but it isn’t.

I believe you ... P.J. said the same thing about the Persian Gulf coast of Saudi Arabia in “Give War a Chance.”

Yes. And this is why I don’t believe that Barry has actually lived anywhere near Indonesia. It’s far too uncomfortable for his highness. I’m thinking that’s a front and he was really living in Chad or something, but doesn’t want to put himself too near Kenya. It’s all a cover-up.

Unless he was drunk the entire time he was in Indonesia, like I was, but I doubt it. His supposed wife would probably explode.

He was supposed to be a kid when he supposedly lived in Indonesia, and Moslem kids don’t usually drink alcohol.

But they do smoke ...

Moslem kids in Indonesia smoke from the age of 3. I had a kid come into the restaraunt and try to sell me and a few other people magazines in Malay, and when we finally chased him off we saw him walk outside and light a cigarette. I think he was about 6, although it’s harder to tell with foreign kids. Not everyone is as big as James and Danny.

You could probably guess foreign children’s ages more by Pat’s size. They don’t have enough to eat ... which is different from refusing to eat ...

By nature these foul Obamas foul up the entire earth. They are destructive forces unleashed from the depth of the abyss. The planet responds in kind, and will vomit out these toxic invaders sooner or later, because the Obamas do nothing but generate chaos and death.

When Bush went on vacations he usually went home not to some luxury spot

How about when President Bush took off to hang out with his father in Kinnebunkport.

The American people should not have to pay for that!

“Personal expenses” probably amount to about 2% of the total cost of the trip.

Exactly, and that is what Obama should pay,

The cost of the trip if they were not subject to the protection on the Secret Service.

"It’s amazing, the way the weather is against the Obamaos’ vacation plans. I wonder how that could happen ..."

My commission only covers the third and fourth planets from the sun. I have studied the second planet as well, but I have determined that it will be fine just the way it is.

Oh, you were talking about the third planet. Heh, heh, well just pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, if you please. I have work to do.

IIRC on "personal" trips like this each passenger is "assessed" the cost of a standard coach-class ticket from place A to place B, to be fair, but in actuality, the cost of their trip to taxpayers is hundreds of times more than "paid back" starting with the fact that they don't even pay first class rates for which their travel undoubtedly qualifies. ;-(

KCVL: Thanks for the graphic! ;-)
