I assume Laura Bush had birthdays during the eight years her husband was president. Funny, I don’t remember hearing about the parties.

No wonder they prohibited cellphones and selfies at this soiree.

I think it was Mr. Sowell who defined the obamas. It was “something” rich.

Wasn’t there a news embargo on this? Is Al allowed to talk about this big party?

Anyone ever notice that the Obamas are always hanging out with celebrities?

I've never seen the Obamas go to the Southside of Chicago, for example, and talk to the people affected by gun violence and unemployment. Or the ordinary blacks who supported them en masse.

Michelle could have easily did such a thing on her 50th birthday. She could have went into the inner-city and pleaded for the violence to stop and talk about the breakdown of the family.

It just reveals the blatant, total hypocrisy on the part of leftists.

I wonder if Obama paid for the party out of his pocket.

I wonder if Santy Clause and the Tooth Fairy paid for Moochelle’s party. It is far more likely a possibility.
