I wonder how much her two special ‘senior staff’ members were paid?

[doc1019]

Chump change, considering that the diamond bracelet she carried on her wrist in a recent photograph cost that much.

What did senior staff do?

[the invisib1e hand]

“eat your heart out, Rosa Parks.”

[Husker24]

Is there even an actual budget for that sort of thing, or is it really an unlimited expense account?

[GeronL]

That is probably low-balled.

The trip to India was far more expensive.

“Goodwill tour”? So she was shopping for clothes, then?

South Africa President Jacob Zuma

She should have sent that $425,000 in a cash donation instead of flying. A dollar can easily feed a family there. $425,000 could feed half a million families in Africa. Better yet, she could send her own money and not waste taxpayer money on frivolous ego trips. What a royal b*t*h.

The White House earlier professed the purpose of the trip was to help 'youth leadership, education, health and wellness' in south Africa.

I think she should have been told to go clean her own backyard. Once again, as with the refusal to deport illegals until they physically hurt someone, the Obamas show how little they care about Americans.
