was deleting emails that I read and I know we have all batted the vacation thing with the Prez and first lady. Well if we still need food for thought read this. I am not here to persuade anyone on anything. Just facts of how luxurious life has been for this four years of this presidency. Michelle Obama Listed Daughters As 'Senior Staffers' To Justify her Expensive African Vacation and Safari. October 5, 2011 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 'bulk food' costs of providing 192 onboard meals for the 21 people who made the trip. The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as 'senior staff.' 'This trip was as much an opportunity for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a trip to conduct government business,' said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. 'This junket wasted tax dollars and the resources of our overextended military. No wonder we had to sue to pry loose this information.' I missed this story yesterday, but it's worthy of our attention. The nation is suffering with the economy sputtering, the national debt soaring and Obama's economic rescue policies not only failing but actively making things worse. Meanwhile, the First Lady justifies an expensive trip to Africa to take a vacation and safari with her daughters by saying it's 'official business' and even going so far as to list her children as 'staffers.' The level of arrogance and dishonesty on display here is nothing short of shocking. But, er, 'hope for change' and yes we can.. It's a true story. Check it out on a search engine.
