Taxpayers paid for President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama to fly separately Thursday to Los Angeles, where they appeared on separate TV talk shows on the same day.

Mr. Obama flew on Air Force One, which costs about $228,000 per hour of flight time, to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama flew on a different plane Thursday across country to Burbank, California, to tape an appearance on Ellen Degeneres’ show. That show will be broadcast on Monday.

Every penny for the china came from private donations. The press reported that about a year after making a fuss for six months or more about the “insensitivity.”

Of course, anything Jackie Kennedy did to spiff up the White House made her a cultural icon, a genius of historical preservation, etc.

It’s classic Alinsky. It’s carefully calibrated. Their spending is just enough to outrage the “Obama-haters,” but not enough to wake up the brain-dead.

Did they at least stay at the same place?

My comment was made in jest.

I understood the tone of your comment perfectly. Sadly, in our current state of affairs, it really doesn't matter who they pick, since the office of the President is a mere figurehead. I wouldn't be surprised if ValJar stays on as "advisor" to whoever the next "President" is.
