And I would have screamed about that too if I knew! No one should be allowed to staff that many people that we did not vote in. It seems we have no control on where our money is spent. Maybe these are the reasons that our country is bankrupt. Add up all these little nicety’s! It would be an eye opener to know where it all goes.

Maybe you'll find this more intellectually stimulating.

We don't vote in lots of people who have large numbers of people on their staffs. We don't vote for generals, who don't vote for cabinet officers, we don't vote for the director of each national park...the list goes on. If we had to vote for everyone who controls a staff of more than 20 people, the ballot would be thousands of pages long.

It seems we have no control on where our money is spent.

You get to vote for the congressmen and women who appropriate the money.

Add up all these little nicety’s! It would be an eye opener to know where it all goes.

The budget is a public record.

Let her enjoy her senior years in the White House.

I have no problem with Granny living there with her daughter and grandkids. Nice gig, if you can get it!

Why can’t the Auntie from Boston move in too? There’s room.

Nope, just an answer to my question would be nice.

I stand behind no man or woman when it comes to calling Obama an absolute, unmitigated disaster as president, but the criticism for having his mother-in-law live with him in the WH is silly. Presidents and their wives have routinely housed family, friends and even staff in the White House. If anything, I applaud Obama for bringing his childrens’ grandmother to live with them and be a part of their lives.

Marian looks great for her age. This is her reward for encouraging her two kids to work hard and study hard, and to appreciate higher education. She did a good job. She deserves to rest on her laurels.

That was a question to you as in what you meant by working people.

I have no problem with Mrs. Robinson staying with her daughter. I’m not sure why this is an issue she’s not the first mother-in-law to live at the White house.

You’re the one who was rolling on the floor laughing your a@@ off at the remark. YOU tell ME what you thought it meant and why it was so funny. That was exactly my question to you, which you chose not to answer.

With his feet upon the remains of an anti-slave ship. Real classy.

Was it equally classy when Bush did it?

Why this type of silly reply? I guess you do not read the ramblings of the chosen ones or until something appears in your yard it is BUT conjecture??

In other words, you got nothin.

New "Godwin's Law". The first to take the "troll!" retort out of the holster automatically loses the argument.
