I bet you money that this vacation costs a lot more than $1.5 million.  The Obamas are sooo ghetto.  They are like f-ing Welfare Queens living large on the taxpayer dime.  I hate them both.  

Color me pissed.

2 Oh, and remember how Oblowme said that he and Michelle were affected by the bad economy too?  I don't see them tightening their belts at all.  If anything, by the looks of Moochelle lately, her belt has had to have some extra holes put in.  The girl is looking FAT with an "F" not a "Ph".

So, fellow wingnuts...how's the cake? Mine is a bit dry.

Mine could use some tobacco sauce. 

The Obamas?  No class...all ass.

4 I'M KING OF TEH WORLD, BITCHEZ!!1111111!!

5 My cake tastes like poo.

6 For the record "let them eat cake" does not mean cake, as in delicious birthday type delicacies.

Cake, back in the day this term was used, meant the bread dough that fell to the bottom of the oven getting burnt rock hard over the course of the day. 

7 Stimulus baby! Seriously though, these kinds of posts fall under the "OD Disorder" category.

8 tree, liberty, tyrants, watering, some assembly required.

9 Dude, what the hell? Isn't this *$$hole supposed to be from Chicago? Don't they have an actual, I-don't-effin'-know HOUSE in Chicago? Do they actually have property in Hawaii? Why can't these dipshits go spend Christmas in Indonesia, or Kenya?

10 Doing some poking around about Camp David, (I really never knew that much about it) I came across this picture.

Makes me want to stab half the US population in the face.

11 Whenever these guys -- Obama and Clinton are most prominent -- talk about how rich they are, they're lying.

All of Obama's (and Clinton's) life he's been very comfortable but always around people much richer than himself.  Thomas Lifson talks about Obama's youth in Indonesia, where he would have been resentful of the children of American employees, whereas his stepdad wasn't paid all that much.

He returns to Hawaii to attend the fanciest of private schools.

He goes to private, exclusive Occidental.

He then goes to Columbia (and allegedly attends a class or two) with all of its Ivy pedigree.

I can't speak to his early community organizing but he left that quickly enough.

Harvard Law has all of the children of rich lawyers looking to be rich lawyers and it's just dripping with money.

He goes into politics and he has to hobnob with rich donors (not to mention Bill Ayers, the perfumed prince).

Now, he's trying to bum weekends in Italy from his rich "friends".  He's always been resentful and bitter.

12

Seriously though, these kinds of posts fall under the "OD Disorder" category.

 

I disagree. This man is a poor steward of taxpayer money.  He is a profligate spender in his personal life and in his job as President.  He also gets no censure from the media who was obsessed with GWB's vacation schedule and how much money he spent.  I recall the media going nuts before Jenna Bush got married as they speculated how she was going to have a huge State wedding while the economy was "in the toilet"--how could she justify that kind of spending?  (This is back in the days of 6% unemployment, too).  They had to eat crow as she had a simple wedding at her parents' home in Crawford TX.  She didn't have some huge extravaganza like Chelsea Clinton did who also didn't come under any criticism and who's wedding was feted by the MFM. 

He is completely insensitive to the plight of the average American, and there is absolutely no outcry from the media.  It's disgusting.  It has nothing to do with ODS. 

13 Can we keep this together until 11/6/12?!  CAN WE?  I feel like the USA is the Enterprise when it's under incredible stresses from something, and is like seconds from breaking up.

14 Damn, just when I was getting resigned to the GOP screwing us over again.  Could they really have some cojones?

15 Cuba announced that they're no longer subsidizing soap or toothpaste.

How's that communism working out for you?

16 Of course he's insensitive. He's a narcissist. He is better than we are. Did you not know?

However... there is one thing to think about. While he is livin' large on our tax dollars, he is not thinking of new ways to screw us over. I mean, he's not assembling death panels, or trying gitmo detainees in times square, or taking over banking/ auto industry/ transportation et al.

Nope. Ol' jug ears is eatin' rainbow snow cones.

So at least he's got that going for him.

17 Oh, and especially since he lectures us how we need to "take care of the least of these", he and Michelle don't do diddly squat for anyone but themselves.  Look at his own brother who lives in a mud hut in Kenya.  He's really good about lecturing us and villifying people who work hard and earn their own money.  Meanwhile, he and his freeloading wife suck off the taxpayer teat while wanting those of us who actually pay taxes to pay "our fair share"--an arbitrary number that they in their infinite wisdom have determined.  I'm pissed off about this.  He is an horrible president.  Presidents are supposed to lead by example.  If anyone is endemic of the excesses of "The Rich" it is the Obamas who have never worked a real job in their lives, yet have lived very well over the years.  They are hypocritical, arrogant, vain, shallow, pampered little people.

dead on.  And I get to use my new word again!:  "Errorgant"

20

Why can't these dipshits go spend Christmas in Indonesia, or Kenya?

 

Because they would have to spend time with their impoverished relatives.  It's hot and nasty in those unairconditioned mud huts with the raw sewage flowing down the middle of the thing.

21 Heh.  It looks like the lefties are also the only ones rooting for Julian ASS-ange, too.  Not much bang for the buck on this moron (and not the good kind).  Imagine!  Most Americans supporting their country!  Heresy!

22 The Obama's had better find a way to make a buttload of money for after he's out of office, because these two aren't going to be able to go back to getting along without private jets and a huge entourage. I don't expect Obama to to do a Carter and spend his post white house years hammering nails on Habitat for Humanity houses. I wonder if he can find a way to turn his continuous golfing and eating at fine restaurants into a charitable endeavor. Cause, you know, he has to keep up the myth that he cares about the poor.

23

Yes, which he has been doing from Hawaii.  I guess the media can just cream all over themselves as they discuss in sad, hushed tones about how hard it is for the President who not only came to Paradise late, but also how it's been a working vacation.  I'm sure they will pontificate on their panels that he is the hardest working president ever and how unprecedented it is that he is accomplishing so much while he is away.  He's so effective and such a hard worker, he, Michelle, and the girls all deserve to go to somewhere nice to get away from it all after they get back to D.C.  Perhaps Tahiti would be nice. 

25 did anyone link the local story of the news crew the hpd roughed up yet?

26 Go over to the link at the Washington Examiner. There's a guy over there claiming that Bush did the exact same thing, so no one has the right to yell at poor, poor Barry.

27

The Obama's had better find a way to make a buttload of money for after he's out of office, because these two aren't going to be able to go back to getting along without private jets and a huge entourage.

 

And that is why I am happy to announce that I have accepted the position of Secretary General of the UN.  It's going to be a lot of difficult work, but I will make the necessary sacrifices for the people of the world.  It's only right that I give the people what they want, and what they want is me!11111!!

28

I think it would be really cool to see the furst family vacationing in half-brother George's cardboard box.

 

That will never happen.  There will be a bunch of big glossy 12 X 20 photos of Obama embracing his brother outside the shack.  The girls playing around the perimeter of the shack.  Moochelle harvesting a giant yam grown from the sewage that runs right through the shack.  But as soon as the camera crews leave, so do the Obamas.

29 The MFM is merely the propaganda ministry for the Democrat Party. Of course Mini-Mao will get no static from them. The guy is a cheap street hustler who has pulled off the biggest con of all time. This nightmare brought to you by the 52%.

Well, Obysmal, you'll want to keep glomming off those rich, delusional friends, 'cause the US is qutting the UN as soon as I'm sworn in.  What a waste of money!  With the US out, guess that means there'll be no one to pay a salary for you, huh?

31 "He also gets no censure from the media who was obsessed with GWB's vacation schedule and how much money he spent." Well that's true. Still, complaints of this nature are most certainly the kind of thing you make when your bete noit does them, but ignore completely when your buddy does the same.

32 America, next time we get a shot at the seat at the head of the table can we pretty please not choose from the shallow end of the gene pool? Please?

Yeah that Moochelle better lay off the jumbo shrimp.  She's a mortal  lock for the title of "Miss Wide Ride 2011".

 

In the meantime O'Bumbles is "focused like a laser beam on jobs, jobs, jobs" down there on the beach.  Seriously--he's sucking on a shaved ice and thinking about his job, and what a bitch it would be to go back to it.  So what the heck, he'll have another day of vacation.

48 I can see "Plugs" hiding under the Resolute desk (kinda like that snot-nosed Kennedy kid), wiggling his feet that aren't quite tucked away, trying to avoid the Secret Service agents who are trying to get him back in his secret bunker/cage.

50 So James, if you are still here, another thing I resent about the Obamas is them lecturing me about my health and what kind of foods I should be stuffing in my piehole.  The meddling FLATUS--First Lady Against The United States or First Large Ass of The United States, (you choose) has made it her personal mission to go on an anti-obesity campaign to save our nations children from their fat selves.  Well look and see what they ate for dinner last night (as per a friendly Hawaiian newspaper):

Last night, Barack and Michelle Obama, Obama's sister and her husband and a half dozen friends dined at one of the President's favorite restaurants in Hawaii, Alan Wong's on King Street.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Obama has adventurous tastes, says Wong, and always orders the multicourse chef's menu.  Michelle, who usually eats lighter, joined him last night.  On the menu: A trio of appetizers: Wong's seafood cake, a tomato with li hing mui dressing and Wong's famous "soup and sandwich," a two-color Big Island tomato soup and foie gras grilled cheese sandwich. Lobster lasagna. Ginger-crusted onaga.  The President's favorite entree, soy-braised shortribs.  And his favorite dessert, "The Coconut," coconut ice cream covered with dark chocolate, in a shape that looks exactly like half a coconut, served with a colorful array of tropical fruits.

Ordinarily, I could give a rat's ass what the President and his family eat.  When they are lecturing and hectoring me and regulating what I can eat, then I question their hypocrisy.  Oh, and foie gras was temporarily banned in Chicago for 2 years until resteraunts fought it.

51 "BINGO!  I'm sure that's part of it, clearing airspace could be part of it, security, security, security.  He is POTUS of the greatest Superpower (for now anyways). "

Well, yes. I expect and am comfortable paying quite a bit for security for POTUS in general. It just didn't occur to me that whatever security we're using ran that high. FLOTUS cost $63k for her flight. That was more the number I was expecting to hear, and I have no complaints about a number like that for her flight (the "just because I wanted to leave early" part sure, the actual cost of it not so much). That sounds along the lines of "expensive private jet rate" or "Fill up AF1 with secret service and take off" type costs, which there's really no way to get around anyway. The rate for Barack's flight just dumbfounded me as to how you could even rack up that high of a cost in the first place. It's a "full on, ground all flights within 500 miles and send a jet escort with him the whole way" type cost. That just blew me away and made me wonder what SOP was for POTUS flying around, and if they did something abnormal this time that made it more expensive.

52

They think no one notices these things. I wonder if a GOP House is enough to make stories about the homeless return to the "news".

Ooh, that's a hard one to call since the Dems still have the Senate and Ogabe is the Precedent.  I wonder how they'll cover the "Grandma is forced to eat Alpo and in order to pay for her prescription drugs" if the House tries to defund Obama care while Harry rules teh Senate and King Ogabe is on the throne.

53 As much as I hate Obama this will gain no traction. Thank the MFM who cared about Bush the older not knowing about his credit card.

54

 That just blew me away and made me wonder what SOP was for POTUS flying around, and if they did something abnormal this time that made it more expensive.

 

Well, for starters, Honolulu is almost 4000 miles from D.C.  Most of the presidents went on vacation at Camp David or to their own homes so they didn't travel as far.  Bubba and Hillary did go to Hawaii once (that famous slow dance on the beach, Hill in one piece blue bathing suit--to no music).

55

Thank the MFM who cared about Bush the older not knowing about his credit card

 

I think it was his utter surprise at the scanners at the grocery store.  The MFM used this to portray Bush the elder as some clueless, out of touch, dilittente with a silver spoon in his mouth.

56 But, but... SARAH PALIN'S WARDROBE

57 A shameless piece of shit wannabee tin pot.

58

They think no one notices these things.

I don't think they think about it for the most part, Eman.  I think it's virtually a reflex action, almost animal.  "Working memory overload" is a term of art and just a pet theory when applied here.  (It's typically used to explain things like the Monty Hall problem.)  But I thought of it watching Christ Christie dressing down one of those teachers.  In one breath, it was all about the money money money.  In the next breath, she was in it for the love.  No awareness of the contradiction.  With one set of thoughts, she was locked into one viewpoint; with another set, it was like she was another person (and that other person who was talking about money, well, she was just gone--never existed).

For some of them, yeah, they're deliberately duplicitous.  For most, no.  They can't hold the two points of view in their heads at once and reconcile them.

59 Anyway, Eman, notice how often they do it.  It is and it will always be an evergreen argument for us.  Because we're railing against an unavoidable part of their nature.

60 In a normal world, this would be scandal, but with the current federal budget, it's almost meaningless mathematically.

61 We're getting off light. Didn't Zero's trip to India and home cost us 200 million a day?

63 shibumi: "I mean, he's not assembling death panels, or trying gitmo detainees in times square, or taking over banking/ auto industry/ transportation et al. ..."

I used to take some solace in that. The problem is he has always outsourced that "infrastructure" work to someone else. Obama himself is a lazy-assed slacker voting present on contentious issues that might really display just how Progressive (Marxist) he is. He's done it his whole life. He politics off a teleprompter someone else's rhetoric. When done he plays golf, basketball, and whatnot while cooling down with a burger, fries, and ice cream. Meanwhile, the Valerie Jarretts, David Axelrods, David Plouffes, Rahm Emmanuels, Nancy Pelosis, and Harry Reids do all the dirty work of actual legislation, astroturfing, and advising for czars.

Barack Antoinette remains the vessel he always was only now he and Michelle run a bottomless tab.

Obama does damage to everything he touches. And to what others do on his behalf.

64 Hey, he went there because he is the Stalinist Leader of Amerika!  What is a Moslim taking a christian holy day vacation anyway?

It was in the Virgin Islands ... and, yes, the irony of the location was so rich.

68 11 AmishDude, good point! It reminded me of a line from Casino Royale: "by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder." Familiar much? Gah, Obama, way to be a cliche.

69 Also, Kevin at Hillbuzz did a listing back on the 22nd of where past presidents have spent their vacays. Don't know how accurate it is but here is his rundown: Reagan: White House all 8 years Bush#1: Camp David all 4 years Clintons: Hilton Head SC (which he says they got reamed for and didn't do again), White House 6 years, and Sarajevo with the troops Dubya: Camp David all 8 years Obamas: Hawaii both years http://tinyurl.com/24vxzsk And it's been said, but in the presidency you serve, you are not served. He should be thinking of his staff and letting them spend time with their fams on Christmas, IMO, shame on him.

70 Forgot to add that yes, I know Ace linked to the article above, but I just though I'd make it easier on my fellow morons who don't click links. The differences in his behavior versus past presidents is indeed very...unprecedented, and needs to be pointed out. Always. Okay, going to sleep now before I hurt myself.

71 Great.  O'buma playing the part of Nero.  Meanwhile his wife runs around shouting "Don't let them eat cake!"  What a pair.  Thanks 52%.  You really fucked our country.  assholes.

72 Well, even if the MFM has their face firmly between his ass-cheecks, I'm not going to forget how Obama screws over everyone around him, on our dime, and treats us like we owe him a freaking throne.

They're living like freaking royalty and telling the rest of us to suck it up as they beat up businesses and take our savings and give them to campaign donors, and just generally screw up everything else.

Shit, with all the crap they pull EVERY DAY don't we have something to slap on the bench for these jackholes? Or do they really keep it coming so fast and furious we never even have time to detail the charges before the next scandal?

Congress needs to start de-funding the agencies (EPA, FCC) Obama is trying to use to get around the law. We might not make it if we don't hit back hard on that topic.

73 PS runningrn is my hero on this thread.

76 PPS re: the following from the otherwise non-stating-the-obvious slublog:

Other recent presidents showed more consideration for the needs of those who work for them. The Obamas...have not.

That must have been one hell of a Sherlock moment there, bub.

77 Before the blogosphere, we would have been islands in a sea of agreement that this is okay. (Reverse polarity when GOP is in power.)

78 This SOB can not piss me off much more than I already am. As I said during his last "trip", one of the budget items needed immediately by the 2011 House is for the WH travel budget.

It needs to be zero. Tell the asshole 'n chief he has already spent more on travel in 2 years than Bush spent in 8. He can stay at home.

Also, fire all the WH travel agents. Clinton already has proven you can do that w/o any problem.

79 The Obamas are behaving like Third World kleptocrats. Which is what they are, basically.

80 Tell the asshole 'n chief he has already spent more on travel in 2 years than Bush spent in 8. He can stay at home. Eh. On the other hand, we're all probably better off if he's off gallivanting around somewhere instead of attending to the duties of his office. /Heck, that's what the czars are for.

Hmmm, I thought that was on the beach in Normandy on a D-Day Anniversary, after slick Willy made a crucifix out of pebbles on the beach, presumably as a safety precaution to keep Hillary at bay. (Ah Hillary, accomplishing what the designer never figured that his swimsuit would do for anybody - make our First Lady look like a vampire walrus in drag.) Ah, the Carters, Clintons and Obamas, they have so much class.

82 Eh. On the other hand, we're all probably better off if he's off gallivanting around somewhere instead of attending to the duties of his office.

If Ace is correct then we are better off with him in DC screwing up all those staff people because he is a stupid and incompetent SOB.

I had maintained that since everything he did was wrong it had to be enemy action. That follows the "blind pig syndrome".

83 So Clinton maintains he caught flack for going to Hilton Head eh? A little search finds two articles on his trip, one from CNN and one from the LAT.

CNN fluffs him for the Hilton Head trip and gives him some small grief over taking money from "Asian-Americans" illegally (except they do not say that.)  We now know that the money came from the Chinese commies and it was a swap for missile technology.

The LAT is NOTHING but fluff.  

http://tinyurl.com/29zgz3d

All this proves is that Clinton is still a liar.

84

IN that zero travel budget we can include this ugly scrunt as well

This entire regime is insane. Has anyone every told this idiot that she is HOMELAND security?

This "department" needs to be eliminated. The original problem was Jamie Gorelick, not the lack of a DC mega-bureaucracy.

This is another problem I blame Rove for. Bush should have remained opposed to this and vetoed it.

85

That MSNBC piece was written like he's a real President...such hero adulation and Communist myth making.

Ugh...would Obama's ego fit in that huge cave in Vietnam?

86 What is interesting, well, sort of, is that whereas the zany media portrayed and contrasted  GW as a poor, little rich boy, and Obama supposedly as a man of the people, the truth of the matter is that GW was a humble, man of the people, and Obama is a pompous, lazy, useless and decadent dilletante and just another slimy, ordinary street hustler, whose extremely irresponsible, oftentimes bizarre and sleazy behavior has, in my opinion, only served to reinforce the often perceived stereotype rightly or wrongly attributed to some black people. What a shallow, obtuse and clueless putz. What an embarrassment to good, decent black people. What an empty suit ..., and what a huge disappointment to some of us.

87 IMHO, The greatest political event in 2010 was the guy or guys who came up with the clever and funny idea of a picture of President George W. Bush with a caption, "Miss me yet?" That should be a permanent picture on every conservative website.

88 24 The Obama's had better find a way to make a buttload of money for after he's out of office, because these two aren't going to be able to go back to getting along without private jets and a huge entourage.

My guess is that The One will land a high paying gig with MSNBC so Little Chrissy, Schultzy, and Olberdouche can slobber all over his incredible awesomeness.

89 People, PEOPLE,  he's economizing.   He didn't fly Bo, the dog, to Hawaii in a separate jet!  Give the man a break!

You have got to be shitting me. Remember that picture of Obama's bad fitting suit in front of 10 Downing Street? James Bond had a good tailor. JugEars did his office in earth tones.

92 So he took Navy SEALs to Hawaii for security reasons? Is the president even allowed to use the military as bodyguards? Seems like an abuse of power to me.

Not that a two-week TAD to Hawaii to protect The One's glistening pectorals as he paddleboards at the beach as if he's Cameron Diaz isn't preferable to humping a pack in the mountains of Afghanistan, but still...

93

All I know is, if the holidays fell on a time when I was doing a job that I positivly despised I made damn sure my happy ass was as far from that job as possible during the festivities.

Overall If I'd had the chance I would have gone to Hawaii.

Happy New Year. 

94 I read (admittedly in a comments section, IIRC, and not from a 'news' report) that the One and the rest of the family are also flying back separately just like their twin trips to Hawaii. Well, at least Bo isn't getting a third flight back just for him.

I also seem to recall reading that Bo wasn't quarantined or was let in without having completed all his rabies shots or the like--kind of the reverse of the Yes, Prime Minister where the French are trying to screw the British over language precedence in the Chunnel trains by giving a Trojan Horse gift of a dog to H.M. the Queen knowing that British law demands a long quarantine time (Britain is rabies free and intends staying that way) with the French hoping to manufacture a diplomatic incident over "rejecting" the French dog to gain French-first on signs in all the trains as a concession for the insult of not allowing the gift dog in immediately.

At least the beaches were covered in shit so they didn't get that fun out of their trip.

95 The cake? Fruitcake...the kind with the pieces of red and green mystery fruit in it.  I'm pretty sure it's been regifted a few times as well.

96 Good morning, morons!

Yeah, I feel nothing but contempt for these assholes.  Kinda like the feelings they have for the US.  2012 can't come soon enough. 

97 I wish those mutts would stay in Hawaii.  Biden may be bat-shit crazy and dumber than a sack of hammers, but he's not a Marxist.

98 Barry is a typical liberal hypocrite. He goes on and on about equality and fairness except he and his cronies live like royalty while they expect the rest of us to just be happy with the scraps that fall off the table. Unfortunately too many people buy into their bullshit or have been indoctrinated into for too long

99 17  You should have seen what he did with those communities he "organized" back in the Chi.  I think I know a couple of those handful of Blacks who voted against him (kid was killed when a rusty gate fell on him -- in property owned by one of Mr. Rainbow's buddies -- was the rumor I heard; a few people remembered).

101 LizLem @#72: It gets better, here's the real quote:

All right... by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you're first thought about me ran to "orphan," that's what I'd say you are.

Here's mine:

All right... by the crease in your pants, you went to Harvard or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you're first thought about me ran to "fatherless," that's what I'd say you are.

Damn.

However, would it surprise you at all if Obama were to one day burst out with something like this?

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

102 He goes on and on about equality and fairness except he and his cronies live like royalty while they expect the rest of us to just be happy with the scraps that fall off the table.

But he "fights" for us!

103 But he "fights" for us!

I'd be happy if he'd follow through with his shrew wife's "promise" that he would 'make us work.'  So far, I see no signs that he has any interest in helping anyone work. 

104 112 That comes later -- in the state run turnip fields; bring your own shovel comrade.

105 I feel for the Secret Service, the SEALS, and anyone else who has to serve this trash. 

And yeah, I have my cardboard box packed for the camps.

106 And how much would this have cost if the President was a Republican?  Probably more.  Get real.  How about a real new story.

107 And how much would this have cost if the President was a Republican?  Probably more.  Get real.

It's always good to hear from the dead-enders.

108

I feel sorry for all the security people.  Obama insists on borrowing a house with a beach view.  So all the Secret Service and SEALs are having ulcers thinking about a lone nutjob paddling a rubber boat ashore to take a stab at being famous.  Plus being dragged almost 5,000 miles from home during holiday season, while Obama has his family there they do not.  Meanwhile PACFLT probably has an ABM configured Aegis cruiser on alert in case North Korea takes another stab at launching another missile at Hawai'i.

But that is all Obama thinks about is what is good for him.  Never about how his actings impact anyone else.

109

So Obama has banned cameras on the beach and the media reports that there can be no more pictures of him with his shirt off.

Then I realized that the reason there can be no beach pictures is because there must be no pictures of Michelle in a swimsuit, lest we realize that our inspiration for healthy living is indeed in fact morbidly obese.  How inspiring could THAT be???

SOOOO tiring to try to stay on top of people like that...

110 The trolls are just going through the motions anymore. Bless their little hearts.

Work will make you free. -- Somebody, probably first in German.

112 well that is a lot less than 200 MILLION DOLARS cost that a lot of bloggers wrote about when he went to India

113 STFU, dunce.

114 Right on cue archie shows up to prove my point; tough being right all the time.

115 A big part of the cost of the travel is that wherever POTUS goes they pack up all the armored/assault vehicles and other shit it takes to protect him, like even a Marine One helicopter. They stuff it all into C-17s for the trip. Also, I don't know if they still do it, but they used to take along a hardened 747 with analog controls as backup too, in case of nuke or EMP attack.

So yeah, its real expensive for any POTUS to travel. I thought is was telling that the previous presidents spent Christmas in or near DC for the staff's benefit, but not this current one.
