Time for the White House to rein in Michelle Obama's out-of-control spending
The Daily Telegraph (London) ^
Posted on 08/26/2011 10:08:29 AM PDT by kelsiejackson
With the United States facing a national debt of more than $14 trillion, the largest since World War Two, wouldnt it make sense for the White House itself to start trimming its own spending? A good place to begin cutting would be Michelle Obamas rather generous vacation programme. Keith Coffler, who edits the influential White House Dossier, notes that Michelle Obama spent no less than 42 days on vacation over the past year thats one in every nine days.

Don't give me the 'she's a mom, that's her job' business eitherMrs Wbill stays home with the kids just like Moochelle. She'd love a family vacation.
She has a part-time job that helps make the ends meet. I'm taking a couple of weeks off this fall so that she can work. So much for family time, though I'll readily admit that I'm looking forward to hanging out with the kids.
I'm sure that Mrs WBill jut *loves* watching Moochelle jet around, while we both bust our butts to cover bills.

I’m guessing that picture was designed to show off the first ladies magnificently sculpted stomach and buttocks. After writing that line, I think I can now get a job in any mainstream media outlet.

They were also living off of a credit card until after the election. Typical of people that have nothing and suddenly come into money. They spend it like water.

Should have reined it in long ago. The two of them spend like they’ve won the lottery.

From your keyboard to God’s ear!

It seems to me that there has been a noticeable lack of exposure as far as Michelle is concerned. She's been under the radar since before her trip to visit her brother. Their polling must be indicating that she is a serious turnoff.

They’ll just end up re-classifying her spending as “economic stimulus”.

Thinking God probably likes the thoughts and spoken words more than keyboard typing. Don’t know though, and if that was a compliment, Thank you.

She’s just saving the GOP tons of money on election ads for 2012. All they will have to show are clips of the many Obama vacations.

Moochelle is a loathsome, hate-filled evil witch with a Mt. McKinley sized grudge against America and Americans (I didn't use the spelling that begins with “b” because I have far too much respect for my two dogs and their wonderful mothers) who does this especially for the pure, vile pleasure of flipping off the millions of struggling Americans who've lost their jobs, homes, and investments because of the Illegal’s intentional policies that are designed to cause just that.
