If she tells us and our kids what to eat, rams through a $5 billion food bill, while not following her own advice, in my opinion, it’s news.

If she vacations on taxpayer dollars while her husband says families should postpone their travel plans, it’s news.

Oh, I agree w/ that, but it's:

Michelle says Obama doesn't dye his hair.

Michelle says Obama stopped smoking.

Michelle departs Vail.

ad nauseum...

The first family returned on Sunday night from a covert ski weekend near Camp David. On Saturday morning, Michelle Obama, Sasha and Malia hit the slopes of Ski Liberty in Carroll Valley, Pennsylvania.

They arrived at 9:15 am and the girls spent the morning with instructors. After lunch they skiied on their own and then went snow tubing.

I have to also pay for her TP.

TP???

Why.... the Obamas use nothing but the finest 230 year old Parchment paper to wipe their marxist butts.

I agree that the fact she departed isn’t news, but the following is:

“Sources say that because Obama was largely paying her own way, she insisted on the final say (of destinations).”

Largely paying??? Taxpayers have the right to know how much this cost them.

With that amount of money they could buy United air line.

And still, the Obamas behave like entitled royalty while the rest of the country struggles with high food and gas prices. No, I’m not recommending that government freeze prices. I am recommending that the Obamas stop spending our money like it’s going out of style.

Michelle Obama's press secretary issued a statement Saturday that the family is picking up the tab for personal expenses.

Right, but who paid for the flight? Meals? Lodging? "Personal expenses" sounds like gifts and other incidentals.

Yeah I agree. I don’t have time to keep up with the social calander of Mooshell. Compared to what else is going on it is chump change. It is also out in the open so anyone can make their own conclusions.

Meanwhile, (.)bama back in DC running things without the brains in the family telling him what to do really scares the hell out of me. Those 3 am calls must be getting on his nerve by now. And with Mooshell out of town, he probably is up to 3 packs a day breaking his habit.

Alright, you’ve covered the first day, what about the rest of the visit?

Well, one tidbit — Rush Limbaugh says reporters spotted Michelle and kids having a STEAK FEAST, which they estimated at 1,500 cal/plate.

No need to worry about obesity here.

“It seems every time Michelle poops, it makes the news.”

She doesn’t poop. That face is the face of serious constipation. No shit!

"If you’re a family trying to cut back, you might skip going out to dinner, or you might put off a vacation." Obama

Did he (or she) really say that? These days the difference between parody and reality is razor thin.
