No conscience and no brains. While much of the nation is in the grip of weather conditions that require emergency services to be able to respond to all kinds of emergencies, they have to put everything on hold for Obama vacation plans. Marie Antionette and Nero had nothing on these two.

I'm holding an image of last week that is so nice. It's the comparison...Michelle and Obama are feeding the president of France 10 different potato dishes while Putin is having wine, Bud and brownies with US Olympic atheletes!

Historically the majority of successful revolutions were not started by the “serfs and peasants” but by the lower aristocracy that the ‘king’ stepped on one to many times.

For a bunch of leftwing elitists who always whine about government shutdowns, they sure don’t mind shutting down cities and airports when they want to enter the land of the unwashed little people for their entertainment.
