First lady asked Santa to help get Obama to Hawaii (Christmas barf alert)

Michelle Obama was looking for help from more than just House Republicans so her husband could make it to Hawaii in time for Christmas.

"We were all praying and praying, and asking Santa, and the tooth fairy, and every fairy they could think of," the first lady said Saturday. She said their children prayed as well that the president "would be able to be with us."

President Barack Obama eventually made it to Hawaii, about a week late, and only after Congress resolved its stalemate over extending expiring payroll tax cuts.

With the tense tax standoff behind him, the president has eased into vacation mode since arriving on the island of Oahu Friday night, spending a low-key Christmas Eve out of the spotlight.

Obama skipped his normal early morning gym workout Saturday, opting to spend time at the multimillion-dollar vacation home his family rents in the Kailua Beach area, near Honolulu. He headed to the golf course later in the day.

I am sure her Christmas wish was answered. I wonder what the families of the AF1 crew wished for this Christmas?

“she comes across as all sweet ‘n innocent”

Since when?

I’m a horrid harridan and I’ve never hidden it....LOL

It takes a good while.

You’re resupplying depleted fat stores.

Ain’t gonna happen overnight.

I’ve never hijacked a topic in my life.

“...and every fairy they could think of...”

Well, that doesn’t surprise me. You’re surrounded by brigade of fairies.

Imagine the ridicule from the “media” and late night chatterheads if Laura Bush had said she`d asked Santa to help W get to Texas.

I'm trying to remember who Michelle was comparing Obama to during that ego session.
We know about the past presidents, but this was a new one.

Does anybody know?

When you were knee-high to a newt, I'll bet you were a sweet 'lil kid. ;)

Very Merry!

I realized that and ordered a ginormous size bottle of caps...next week, we'll start 4X day.

Where's my liverwurst, mom?

If she had stayed in DC, she could have petitioned the fairies in person.

She is so far adrift from normal, that she has no clue how profane and childish these demands appear.

ask fairy to help another fairy arrive.

Maybe Santa will pay the $4M.
Hopefully next year will be his last Christmas on our dime.
I am sure that one will be $10M once he knows he is DONE. . . . . . Man that made me fell good to type that ("DONE")

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM VOTER#537

I hope you don’t mind if I jump in. Are you talking about supplements for dogs? We have two big babies & give them a fish oil cap every morning w/ breakfast & Ed gets a glucosamine every morning for his joints.

If you have a good idea for supplements for dogs ( or cats) please tell me. And if I am butting in, my apologies.
