“We won.”
I think Michelle has adapted very well to enjoying the good life. She’s got four years (or eight) to live a life of luxury, and she wants to make the most of it.
Can you imagine the reaction if Laura Bush, or any Republican first lady, took a separate luxury vacation, as the president stayed home? Michelle took a luxury vacation to Spain last year, and now if taking this separate luxury ski vacation. Yet the liberals will have zero to say about it, I’m sure.
But if an evil Republican did this, the MSM would be full of stories of luxury living while talking about record numbers of homeless and millions grappling with poverty.

He doesn’t care about anything except destruction of the US.
Imagine the attacks from the liberal media if the Bush family had vacationed like the Obamas do.

Why sacrifice when you have the kind of money they have that they never earned. Reminds me of an old episode of CARTER COUNTRY. The black Sargeant pressured the Chief to hire a black cop. He finally hired him then had to fire him for incompetence later in the episode. The cop said “You’re just firing me ‘cause I’m black.”
The Chief responded, “No. I HIRED you ‘cause you’re black. I’m firing you ‘cause you’re a lousy cop.” I doubt that could be made today.
It won’t take much effort for her to get down the hill with her posterior and gravity at work.
How many Obama vacations have we had to pay for these last two miserable years?
Well, in the interest of factual accuracy, Laura Bush went on several foreign "vacations" without her husband. Just off the top of my head, I recall trip to Italy and an African safari, with both her daughters.
I'm sure if you looked at the travel itineraries of First Ladies going back to Teddy R, you'd see similar vacations.
Bfl.
Deep down inside, I think the Baraqqis know the party may well end in Jan 2013, so I expect them to milk the system full bore up to that point.
“the MSM would be full of stories of luxury living while talking about record numbers of homeless and millions grappling with poverty.”
Back when Bush 41 was president, the MSM ran stories on a near daily about homelessness in America. But as soon as their boy Bill Clinton was elected the MSM stopped reporting on the homeless problem. The issue was clearly used as a weapon to defeat an incumbent Republican president.
Imagine, Obama and hypocrite in the same sentence.
Different times.
“How many Obama vacations have we had to pay for these last two miserable years?”
I’ve lost track of the many luxury vacations of the Obamas. The guy hasn’t been in the WH very long, but there’s a long list of vacations.
Accused? How about “guilty of ...”

This is what liberals mean when the refer to “shared sacrifice”.
