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

My vodka choice is definitely Grey Goose. It’s Frenchy French but I like it. I find the better the vodka the less chance of hangover (not that I imbibe to excess but as I age I find I can’t hold my liquor like I used to).

I only used the flavored stuff occasionally.

I like a gimlet once in a while, I think I’ll try your iced glass trick with the Rose’s lime. There again you have the gin v. vodka debate. A true Gimlet is gin based and Bombay Sapphire is my choice but vodka gimlets are pretty darn refreshing too.

I’ve tried them all. I keep a well stocked bar for guests. I just do not like Vodka. Never tried 3 Olives, but voxx, Grey Goose, etc. I have them all. I know lots of people love it, I just don’t like it. Rum is good, why ruin a good mojito? :)

Otoh, specifying Tanqueray may have something to do with that. ;)

I've been trying little "sampler" bottles looking for a decent gin.

Hendrick's tastes like cucumbers and has a glycerine mouthfeel.

Bombay Sapphire tastes "off."

Martin Miller is just plain weird.

Right now I think I like Tanqueray, with Beefeater a close second.

I'd like to try Gordon's (it's cheap) but can't find a sampler size bottle.

Would like to try Junipero but might have to ask a bartender for that one.

I love the Goose also. On ice is just fine for me.

Gordon’s isn’t bad. It’s not in the same class as Tanqueray, but it’s all right.

I tried Bombay Sapphire and didn’t see what the hype is about. With Tanqueray I can taste something special. Blue Sapphire didn’t taste bad, but it didn’t taste especially good either.

I think they broke the Tiger Woods story as well. They are often correct.

Roses lime will work well for that trick, good luck! ;)

Trump might jump in if he’s promised a casino in Chicago.

Full stocked bar, damn, I’m jealous, when this Obama recession ends I hope my career will really take off and I can join that group. :)

Agree! It’s Obama’s only hope, and anybody who thinks Axelrod won’t turn this into a three-way isn’t paying attention. Axelrod was Duval Patrick’s adviser too. Hence the overlap of the ‘just words’ motif. If they finagle Trump into the race it will be devastating. Let’s hope and pray it doesn’t happen.

It is clearly inaccurate to report that Her Majesty’s purple bike shorts are in any sense “tiny”

Actually it is quite elucidating in respect to the media coverage of the Obamas. She has a butt so big that it should have its own zip code but the media reports it as petite.

In effect the media is saying, "Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes."

It stays stocked because we rarely drink any of it. My wife loves to buy it around Christmas so she can get those glasses that come with them. I always joked about them until one day she showed me one like we have and it was on Ebay .... the darn things were selling for 75-125.00 for ONE glass. I guess some people are real collectors of those things.

BHO was stupid to start the class welfare fight. Especially when they are living it up on the taxpayers dime. Welcome to your new low approval rating. Karma!!

I’d have to be drunk to be married to the pResident and his boy toys

You have noted the emperor is naked.

Rush asked (before his long golf vacation coinciding with Martha and her vinyard) where are the old girlfriends.

Age nine through eighteen "mentored" by Frank Marshall Davis.

The match with Michelle arranged at the firm of Bernadine Dohrn.

A match having much in common with that of Hillary and Bill.

A deeply disturbed individual, historically epic in presentation of psychological dysfunction.

Whose private life must be suppressed, whose public satisfaction is in the destruction of Western Civilization.

You noted what the carping harpies and shrieking fairies of the fourth estate dare not.

Thanks for that link. I never saw that. I have just spent the last hour scouring that place. I was laughing so hard at some of their reviews I was crying.

Michelle is extraordinarily self centered with a personality defect where one feels empty and can never be satisfied. She sees Obama as a failure and fears that someday she won't have all this money to spend in her vain attempt to fulfill herself.
