PRINCESS MICHELLE SPENDS ANOTHER $100,000 OF TAXPAYER MONEY NEEDLESSLY

Will someone PLEASE think about the CO2 emissions? Originally Posted by gnadfly

And I thought the republicans didn't believe in manmade global warming so why worry about Co2 emissions?

Why not have Wordsmith provide a link so I can see the context of what Wordsmith says Obama said and what was actually said before we go proclaiming this some great post of fact. Originally Posted by WTF

There is one tiny little thing that everyone seems to forget.

If you calculate the costs of those trips maybe you should keep in mind that all those people travelling with the first lady will get paid, whether they travel or not.
The pilots of her plane, believe me they will get paid, with of without the first lady, so will members of the secret service and everyone else that is involved.
All kinds of other cost will go on, trip or not.

if you only count the marginal costs I bet those trips are much cheaper.

I thought that was your refrence point. I just wanted to make sure that was it.

We disagree as to how they should fly. Personally we elect them evey four years. I do not care how much they use Air Force One. That is wtf it is there for. But if you think they should book through Traveloicty....more power to ya.

You do realize times have changed for the better from two years ago? Like I said, context.

Because it shows their contempt for the common person - that they want to raise their gas bill by passing cap n trade - especially when she could have waited a few days and accompanied hubby. Then the POSITOO throws away billions on the green agenda which is just cronyism in disguise. Whirl is correct, its "Princess Michelle."

I thought Democrats believed in manmade global warming so why NOT worry about CO2 emissions? Haven't you bought into the scam? Of course not. Not a single Greenie complained when the anointed one made 2 trips to Copenhagen in the course of a month for shit he could have phoned in. Simple hypocrisy. Why don't you buy some carbon credits Skylar for him? I see the opportunity/scam when I rent cars and trucks.

True and I bet the marginal cost is still in the neighborhood of $100K or more. We'll never know because the WH doesn't release the figures.

Its the hypocrisy, contempt of the American people in hard times and a sense of entitlement from the Obamas especially Michelle to not to travel together. Doesn't have anything to do with taking a Christmas vacation.

Must be nice to be the 1%

Occupy Waikiki Hilton!

My point was why go to Hawaii and have to rent a place to stay when he has a home in Chicago? Also when you ask citizens to not spend so much. Maybe he could set an example and not spend spend spend. I don't know but how many citizens can take over two weeks of vacation at a time?

Things are better? Really? What is the unemployment percentage currently? Is gas cheaper than when Bush left office? Th economy is in the tank unless you owned Solindra.

Huh? So where do all those people stay during the vacation on Air Force One. How about the cost of housing, food, transportation and various other expenses.

She really couldn't have waited and left when he was schedule to go?

Can anyone really blame Michelle for wanting to get away from the Anointed One as soon and often as she can?

I do not give a shit where they vacation. Any of them. Past , Present or Future.

It is a tough job and let them vacation where they may.

You are listening to to much Rush. He has penis envy too. But he gets paid a pile to be so. You make nothing for acting like this. So stop.
