Interesting information just before this "snip" about the changes George W. Bush made to his schedule so as not to appear too self serving and imperial. He also made an effort to stay in D.C. until after Christmas so as to allow Secret Service, staffers, etc. to spend Christmas with their families.

I have a number of issues with "W." and his administration, but Obama sure know how to make him look really good!

Commies desire to be governed by the elite few that “know better” than they. Don’t expect the OWS idiots to be alarmed by this Marxist 1%er.

The unemployed 99% need to Occupy the White House. Of course, the occupants will probably be on vacation. They’re gone a lot.

I have a theory. Obama and his family are living the life that millions of blacks can only dream of living. Their own circumstance are worse than they were thirty years ago, but they have their idol.

Thing is, the Jeffersons earned it.

American blacks are certainly conditioned to celebrate when another black does well in life, so that would be part of it.

Word for the weary.

I do not deal with Idiots anymore. If the US is the land of idiots, thuggery, or just plain bastard-ism, get off me.

I live without you. I choose as well. I choose life.

The headline is just silly, the obama’s live the 0.001% life on our dime.

This is the well-worn Adam Clayton Powell theory, that I remember my Mom espousing. She approved of it entirely. So Adam Clayton Powell is President, finally.

And we are conditioned to treating our Presidents as royalty. The Last President who lived frugally was Calvin Coolidge. Harry Truman lived something like a middle class life style. Jimmy Carter made a show of it, but Reagan brought back the imperial style, which Obama is now doing with “Flash.”

So there are 3e8 people in the USA then 0.001% of these amount to 3e8 X 1e-5 = 3000 people, or some several hundred families living this HiLife. Well, ballpark!

Ronald Reagan made sure that he paid for his horses feed at his ranch. The Secret Service horse feed was paid for by the Secret Service.

The evil thief we have in there today probably pays for very little.

That’s what I think too. They don’t mind living a bad life, as long as they can live vicariously through the Obamas.
