Today’s demonstration of arrogance and contempt


Michelle takes the kiddies to Africa ..

How much does it cost taxpayers to fly First Lady Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her mother, a niece and a nephew, a hairstylist and makeup artists to South Africa and Botswana to give a few speeches, meet Nelson Mandela, and enjoy a safari on a private game preserve?

Nearly half a million dollars, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) concerning Obama’s June 21-27 journey.

Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 - a Boeing 757 modified by the military for the purpose of flying big-wigs around the world - to fly the First Lady and her entourage to and from Africa, at a cost of $424,142. Another $928.44 was listed as the cost of providing 192 meals for the 21 people who made the trip

Sounds like a lot to me. In fact it sounds inexcusably like throwing the money we don’t have in our frickin’ faces. But don’t worry, it’s all official

The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as “senior staff.”

Do these people actually care or notice what’s going on out here, except as it may affect their next 4 years of $HALF MILLION vacations with their ‘senior advisers’?

Almost every day, we learn of some bullshit like this!

No wonder I'm clenching my teeth to the point of needing dental care!

Hell, no, they don't care. They have such a sense of entitlement that I don't have the proper words to describe it.

The woman can't dress worth shit. The white blouse is so ill fitting. Doesn't anyone dare tell her what she looks like?
