Well family time is important. Good to know she puts her husbands comedy above our families.

Actually, I read someplace that she was out giving a talk to some leftist group on the glories of abortion during this “vacation” in Ireland.

Amateur Hour on the Potomac continues, starring the 0bama Regime and hosted by head clown, Baraq.

How many people get vacation after having been on the job less than three weeks?

When thousands of Syrian babies are being gassed by the evil dentist dictator Assad, one must find the lighter moments and dance with the leprechauns when you can.

Let her be.

Just like Obama - when they are not on the job they are doing less to destroy America.

To be honest, Syria shouldn’t be the cause for stopping a holiday....we should have nothing to do with it.

Or gassed in a frame job by jihadists with rogue American govt assistance. Sorry. I have a hard time buying that Assad is that stupid.

Stupid yes. That stupid, no. If I’m wrong, so be it.

well now that I think about it this may be a good thing. I don’t want any Americans dying in Syria. The more comedy club events and golf outings they have the longer it will take to deploy troops.

What makes you think she’s only been working for Obama for 3 weeks?

The liberal view of what it means to be a successful CEO or other high-positioned player in a business - it is all beer iced tea and skittles. The reality is that CEO is an all-consuming 24x7x366 job and it takes priority over everything else. You get the big bucks in compensation. The answer: "I'm on vacation, you handle it" would never be given in response to a major problem, certainly not one of such earth-shattering proportions.

Supposedly Assad is gassing people - I personally don’t believe he is and this incident tends to indicate the lack of concern the Obama administration has over its own, probably bogus, allegations.

The upside to the indifference of Obama’s appointees is that went they’re off frolicking they’re not screwing things up.
