Amazing. The First Grifter and his Mate.
Nothing is too good for our empress.
Livin’ large! In more ways than one eh Michele? I do believe in karma though and that gets me through the day.
What they can’t rent Japanese version of Herinez
Queen Michelle. How will she survive on a pension?
Let the peasants eat cake.
Girls education initiative spearheaded by MO? For what - so the Asian girls will aspire to be like...like...? I somehow doubt they’ll be convinced.
I guess she wouldn’t fit in a skoshi cab.
Mo, just remember to tell the driver to Hiyako dozo!
She learned this from Hillary Clinton who always managed to take some exotic, taxpayer-funded trip around the globe that, coincidentally enough, fell just in time for dear little Chelsea’s school breaks.
The payoff value of my home.
Ain’t her money.
I used to live in Japan. The cars are a hunnert buckadingdongs, the parking is $78,641. :-(
Let's guestimate some numbers. Say she visits the temple with three or four members of her personal staff, half a dozen embassy escorts, and four reporters from the pool. Round it up to 20. With Michelle and one staffer in her car and three passengers in the other cars, she needs seven cars. She would also have a Secret Service detail, but the embassy and the Japanese government would be providing security as well. Assuming they rented top of the line cars with the gold plated rims, maybe the cars should run $5,000, and that's wildly generous, assuming six or eight cars for the Secret Service.
If this were Chicago, we would know where the missing $75,000 went; it would just be a question of whose pocket got lined. But this was Japan, and an embassy-arranged gig, with embassy and Japanese escorts who have their own vehicles. I hope a congressional committee asks for a breakout of the costs.
What’s the weather forecast for the area? Any earthquakes with chance of a tsunami?
The amount of money being spent on these people is disgusting. There should be a law passed that for every expenditure a certain % has to be paid by the president and his family or anyone else benefiting from the trip.
She should have just used Hotwire!
I thought Japan allowed their girls to be educated. Moochelle should try a visit to Pakistan, or Afghanistan, if she really cares about educated young women and not just a lovely personally vacation.
But it's money well spent if Michelle persuades the Japanese to begin to let girls go to school.
