    Based on this, it seems more official in terms of politics than anything.

    And I think you're lying about it not mattering, you don't seem to upset with anyone else doing the same or even worse. And I hope you'll throw a fit if the next First Lady does the same.

    No they don't

    It's expected, but no one would give a (*)(*)(*)(*) if Michelle Obama just stayed her ass in the White House. In fact, I think people would welcome that idea.

    Does America have laws about first ladies meeting with terrorists?

    Nelson Mandela is on the FBI terrorist list, is it good protocol for Americas first lady to be meeting with an FBI listed terrorist?

    Or are black terrorists okay to meet?

    Yes, because otherwise you would be racist.

    Morgan Freeman would not be happy.

    Absolutely not. This is yet a further reflection of how isolated and insensitive is the Owebama White House.

    Most Americans have lost most of their life savings. Many have lost their homes and many are underemployed. Millions are in menial jobs worried about how they will make ends meet and provide for their families. And yet this insensitive self-involved cow takes a high-profile, costly vacation trip to Africa?

    Even the brain dead Jimmy Carter had the sense to turn down the White House thermostats and limit his travel.

    I would have hailed her had she gone to Detroit or Omaha or both to give encouragement and support.

    The Defense of Marriage Act was signed into law by President Clinton in 1996.
    In 2009 Democrats introduced bills to repeal the DOMA. BAWNEY FWANK was against the repeal bill. HE decided lawsuits were a better way to get rid of the DOMA.

    Democrats also introduced legislation to repeal it this year. It has not been repealed.

    Holder and odrama announce that they will NOT uphold the law. Is that a choice that they have? Did they not take an oath that stated the opposite of their announcement to not uphold a law?

    That is why Boehner is paying lawyers up to $500,000, not $1,5 million, to defend a standing US law.

    Give me a 'worst' and I'll consider it. Otherwise we'll just mark you down as a loyal Michelle supporter and move on.

    I can say it in 4 different languages. BTW I think you might've missed the White House link I posted a few posts ago.

    I can't think of a "worst," but I hear Laura Bush did some extra travelling to Africa and also to Burma, and for similar reasons.

    $424,000 worth of rage, todd. During a bad economy backed up by statistics http://www.politicalforum.com/political-opinions-beliefs/210457-obama-numbers.html.

    The only thing fake here is your claims former first ladies have done just as bad. That's not true and everybody here knows it. If you wanna prove me wrong, post some links to statistics of the cost of former first ladies' trips. Otherwise, you're just blowing hot, michelle-scented air.

    Should be easy to research. Must've raised the ire of the left... so there oughta be plenty of internet chatter about it. Surely Huffpo dug into the costs.

    Prove it.

    No, I mean when we were losing 750000 jobs a month and stock market was losing 40% of its value and we were in two endless wars costing us Trillions courtesy of incompetent conservatives.


    I know you didn't mind then. Back then, Appointed in Chief and his cronies were running the show and bringing the USA into its knees so your sense of outrage was NOT tingling. But now, Faux Noise, radio talk shows and right wing noise machine is telling you to be mad.
    Your selective outrage is pathetic and hysterical.


    Laura Bush traveled to 75 countries, including 5 trips to Africa

    We weren't losing 750,000 jobs a month. Job loses only peaked at that level for 4 months. You'll never lose that many jobs a month in a recession. It's a statistical impossibility.

    Really tired of the economically inept using that talking point. It's old.

    Laura Bush traveled to at least 5 different African countries, as well as Burma, for similar reasons as Obama.

    Hillary Clinton did some traveling to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Russia and Ukraine as first lady.

    Bush and republicans inherited a healthy economy and flushed it down the crapper. Meanwhile, Laura Bush traveled to 75 countries, including 5 trips to Africa.
    Where was conservatives' selective outrage back then?
    enough said, conservatives are jokes.

    Great post, Rapunzel!

    By the way, you need to modify your account so you can receive private messages. I have tried to send you several, but your account is not set up to accept them.

    Slept through the NASDAQ collapse and 2001 recession, eh? Bubbles aren't healthy economies. They're phony economies.

    Yes, divert. It'll make you sound like coherent.

    Things were actually well enough for any First Lady to travel around the world. You see, back then we didn't actually have a President who "pretended" he was sympathizing with hurting, struggling Americans.

    If that's what makes you feel better.
