Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in
Daily Mail ^ | 8/24/11 | Tamara Abraham

The Obamas' summer break in Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol. The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage

If I had no character and all that money at my disposal, and knew I wouldn’t be in the White House much longer, I’d do the same. I guess they realize what’s going to happen.

Sorry for all the multiple posts, but I remember from history class that many of these Louisiana Reconstruction legislators were in fact wealthy blacks, that had been free in the 1850s and owned slaves themselves. Is that what you’re referring to?

This is interesting, but to be fair I really don’t take the National Enquirer seriously.

Neither did Gary Hart or John Edwards.

To be fair, I’d have to be drunk to be married to the pResident and his boy toys.

No...we are NOT paying the $50,000 rent

Different source:

The president earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.

That's a big chunk of his annual travel account, then. I wonder if some big donors are helping to pick up their tab?

Perhaps you would reconsider given that they have an ARMY of liability lawyers and fact checkers to keep from being sued and they've been a well known CIA storefront since the 1970's

Are you the one who posted the Abby Normal picture on the other thread? Two Young Frankenstein allusions in one day.

” Let’s pray that the GOP has the cajones to expose this 24/7 now and in ads before the election.”

NO EVIDENCE OF IT. OBAMA COMMITTED AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE WITH BACK-DOOR AMNESTY, AND NARY A PEEP FROM THE COUNTRY CLUB RINOS IN DC!

Did you catch this part in the article:

The magazine also reported that Mrs Obama, whose fashion choices are widely followed, had been going on 'wild shopping sprees', much to the distress of her husband, who, its sources reveal, is 'absolutely furious' at his wife's 'out-of-control spending'.

What did you expect from the Obama ilk??? Right out of the African dictator mold they both love so well. Shades of Obama’s dad (the drunken, drug laden, womanizer, & woman abuser), Idi Amin and of course, Obama’s icon, Kaddafi of Libya!!! Obama is no American Black, never was and never will be!!! More African Muslim then American.

I was never a big Dubya fan, but I was a Laura Bush fan. I thought she was such a charming First Lady in every way. The perfect model of decorum, dignity, and decency.

And a huge pro-baby-slaughter liberal who influenced her husband in horrible ways. Just read her memoir....

That's where our money goes
To buy First Lady's clothes
We buy her everything
To keep her in style (well, well, well)

She's worth her weight in Volts
Our grand First Lady
Say, boys, that's where our money goes (goes, goes, goes, goes)

She's got a pair of hips
Just like two battleships
We buy her everything
To keep her in style (well, well, well)

She wears silk underwear
We're still in last year's pair
Say, boys, that's where our money goes, goes, goes...

The Obama’s vacation in mansions and 5-star hotels at taxpayer expense, while the media pretends not to notice.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
But he is so ‘busy’.
He deserves time off.
He deserves a LOT of time off.

Remember during the campaign (the one so poorly run on the behalf of McCain) whenever JMc made a gaffe etc ‘they’ said he was old and senile. (which I personally agreed with at least the senile part)

Whenever BO made a gaffe it was because of the strain of the campaign and he wasn’t relaxing enough.

And BO half the age of JMc ...

.............. Yeah, they've never broken a story the mainstream media hasn't thoroughly hidden. Let's ask the silk pony and father of the year John Edwards , Jesse Jackson's bastard kids, Rangals tax accountant, John Kennedys flight instructor, Patrick Kennedys rehab sponsor and on and on.

they have a funny way of just coming up with interesting tid bits mixed in with bearded babies, aliens, fad diets and bikini pictures. Hahahahahahahaha
