With the partial shutdown of the federal government dragging on, first lady Michelle Obama has canceled a fundraising trip to California that was scheduled for this weekend, Democratic Party officials said Tuesday.
Obama was supposed to have visited Los Angeles on Friday and then headed to the Bay Area ..
...
Democratic insiders said there was queasiness at the prospect of the first lady raising millions from wealthy donors and campaigning for Democratic causes while thousands of federal employees are furloughed because of the partial government shutdown.
Because the events were political fundraisers and not public appearances, most of Obama's travel expenses would have been paid for by the Democratic Party.

wow.
well. sort of.
Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a Texas DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raising big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor."
Mrs diamond Gothic cuff was priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.
Typical tolerant and compassionate lib/prog schtick---get the taxpayers to subsidize endless do-good programs "for the poor" .......and make a buck on it for themselves personally, and to keep the party in power.
===============================================
Did she call it off with an Obamaphoam?
Lots of Bay area people finding out how much Obamacare will cost them...Perhaps she is safer not being there.
Californians you can thank the Republicans for this minor shut down and stopping the Mooch from coming to your sad state.
She’s afraid of running into Tom Waschura and Cindy Vinson.
This is gonna make her so depressed she’ll have to book a trip to Spain or Africa to feel better.
So, the Wookie can’t raise any more money for the Barackalypse? Oh, the humanity......
why was the white house worried, obama’s media lackeys cover up his harassment of 80 year old veterans, why would they worry about them covering marie antoinette’s closed fundraisers ...

when these two are finally out of the White House, they will skedaddle so fast to their new mansion in Hawaii that the spin might at a second to the rotation of the Earth.
It says a LOT that they never go back to their “public-funded-guarded mansion in Chicago.
Oh no! We are going to get it from Imelda the Second....she is not going to be proud of her country, AGAIN!
Why would federal employees being furloughed matter if the partial shutdown is the Republican’s fault?
If there’s a bigfoot sighting in the area I’ll KNOW it’s for real if Moochelle ain’t there.
