Right, he went those places in consideration of spending and stress on his staff and SS.

This might be why, they aren’t exactly excited about seeing BO.....

A call for Obamas arrest and prosecution:

The Muslim Lawyers Association (MLA) in Johannesburg has submitted a 600-plus page document to the Office of the National Director of Public Prosecution ......calling for the arrest and prosecution of President Barack Obama when he visits South Africa later this month.

The submitted document calls for authorities to “arrest Obama when he visits.”

He’s afraid there will be too many “Welcome Home” signs in Kenya.
It will be interesting to see how he will suddenly change itinerary should Mandela not recover. He’d love to be the center of attention there.

It'll cost us $100 million tax dollars for Obama to go to Africa to apologize for slavery.

Will O also apologize for his big buck Hollywood donors---for making those infantile jungle pictures?

Bare-chested grunting African males in adult diapers and zany headdresses carrying demeaning props like spears and billy clubs.

Not to mention the perennial stereotype---Step'n Fetchit.

No REAL communist/socialist would dare take a vacation like this. They have self-examination sessions where you have to sit in front of your peers and confess your sins....er....I mean.....bourgeois tendencies. His buddies would eat him for lunch and send him to a work camp that he would never come back from. And he knows that. He’s just a dirty thief. He’d be doomed with the communists.

It eventually caught up with the Ceausescu's.

How many “typical households” do you know who are spending $1200 per person on vacations?

Well, this typical household just spent about $1200 to send me to a family get-together. To bring along the kids and Mrs WBill wouldn't have been 4x that, but it would have been a fair bit of change. Just airfare would have eaten up a good bit of the budget.

And, I didn't have my own private AF1, with a hospital ship attending me. I flew coach (its been awhile, security was a joy as always), stayed at the cheapest place I could find and rented the 'econo-class' car to get me around.

We all decided that I'd represent the family at this shindig (it was a small but important memorial service), then we'd all do something more affordable later this summer. But - to get to my point, eventually .... I could see $4800 worth of vacation for a family of four, pretty easily.

Now, IF the family actually HAS the money, is a whole 'nother story. :-)

It always does. But, you sure can live big for awhile. Human nature always overcomes communism.

"American households usually spend about $1,200 per person on summer vacations, according to a recent American Express survey."

Did they survey anyone outside of Grosse Pointe?

Anyone else remember the hissy fit the media had when the Reagans bought new china for the white house?

This is soooo in our faces. How these people get by with this I'll never understand.

We will never rid ourselves of these parasites sucking the juice of life from our beloved America.

What to do, what to do?

The Obamas simply make no intellectual or moral connection between their lavish spending and the financial struggle of Americans. They have no respect or gratitude for the enterprise of American people.

They are rulers and due the fruits of the country’s labor, evidenced by the oppressive restrictions, the control over every facet of American life and the demonization of historic traditions and sensibilities.

The American people never raise a whimper when a Democrat takes a big trip at taxpayer expense. They say he works hard and deserves the time off. If a Republican goes off on his own dime, the American people say he lacks compassion and spends foolishly on unnecessary things. The American people are the culprits.

To paraphrase the late Roman Hruska, R-NE, the American people think that even parasites deserve representation.
