Don't put any serious money on it, you'll likely lose your shirt. :2razz:You can't blame the Obama's for living it up. They know this is their only term and they need to make the best of it.
I sincerely hope the FLOTUS has a great trip in Spain. She promotes positive living and the American dream of prosperity. (text ripped from the poll) :mrgreen:

Um... aren't you the same people who usually defend the rich from "unfair taxation" and the like? Why do you suddenly care what the Obama family does with their personal money?

Transporting and housing the estimated 70 Secret Service agents who will flank the material girl will cost the taxpayers a pretty penny.
. Method of transportation? Air Force Two.
Aparrently this poster missed this, in a failed attempt at a strawman. :shrug:
She didn't say that it was a huge sacrifice for her, but that other people were saying it was, and she also was simply pointing the work that others had put into it. She was acknowledging the hard work of others and the dumb**** that wrote this trash spun it like a record.Perhaps it could be that the Obamas, who seem to fancy themselves more along the lines of international celebrities than actual leaders, espouse a different view of sacrifice. When Michelle Obama accompanied her husband to Copenhagen along with best buddy Oprah Winfrey, she billed the trip - an ultimately unsuccessful bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago - as follows: "As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the President to come for these few days, so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home."
A quick jaunt to Denmark is a sacrifice? What portraits in courage!
Are you sure it's the Obama's MO thats becoming clear and not the author's?The Obama modus operandi is becoming clear.
PolitiFact | Bloggers claim Bo flies in his own planeFrom lavish trips to Spain to reportedly flying Bo, the President's Portuguese water dog, on a separate aircraft to vacation with them in Maine, to a date night in New York City that perhaps cost nearly $100,000, their idea of austerity is really just the lap of luxury, at least for ordinary folks.

rev, were you bothered when laura bush took trips? i'm betting not.
Please. You are the last person to ask a question like this, you avoid them like the plague. :lol:
I am against all idiotic spending. no matter who the politician is.
what does that mean, i avoid them? i find most of them to be silly and not worth responding to. if we posted about every pol's idiotic spending the forum would crash.
nah, I have asked you several times in response to posts you make where you were the last 8 years and you never answer. I thought it kinda funny you would ask me a question like that.
"we all must make sacrifices"....
From your article
What should be noted is the first family had to fly in a smaller Gulfstream GIII/G3 jet, which seats up to 19. The jet most recognize for “Air Force One” was too large to land at the small Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton, Maine.
With all the buzz surrounding the article the Morning Sentinel was required to write a clarification statement to point out that the jet carrying the Obama pet was also full of other staff members.
Since the president is always accompanied by staff and Secret Service agents, one aircraft would not be enough. Therefore, the fact that the first dog arrived in a separate aircraft with other staffers is really no big deal.
The "imagery of opulence" of a story about how they flew their dog in his own jet when in reality he was just flying in a jet full of staffers?
I'm sure it looks bad. Bull**** stories usually do look bad.
