I'm making no assumptions as to who may be doing the scrubbing - just making an observation.

If you spell her name correctly, you'll find media coverage.

[Old Sarge]

Try spelling it correctly, “Malia”, and see if that works?

The story here on FR http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2861066/posts used to go to the story but not any more. Obama is catching flack for using the Treasury as his personal ATM so the media is not covering up for him.

What is this going to cost us?

Chicago grifters, the whole lot of them.

At least one version of this story was pulled by the Moderators here in FreeRepublic, apparently because we should leave the children alone.

There were some comments on Malia’s sour expression, but for the most part the point was that Obama is sending one of his kids on vacation with 25 SS agents, and who knows how many planes, cars, and all the rest of that gear, for who knows how many millions of dollars?

This was not an attack on Malia, but on the Imperial Obamas, who bankrupt the country while spending all their time on expensive vacations.

I didn’t see the thread while it was being pulled, but if someone posted something obnoxious, it would seem as if it would have been sufficient just to remove that post. This is, after all, news.

Seriously, should our president’s teen be going with her friends to a country that specializes in kidnapping? Isn’t it a wasteful use of 25 agents? Couldn’t the little thing go to palm beach or palm springs?

The child’s name is Malia and I’m not sure a school trip is really newsworthy.

These still work (so far):

Pretty sure this wasn’t supposed to be known until she was safe back at home. Anywhere is dangerous for the President’s children but of course Mexico is a third world war zone so it is beyond dangerous. I cannot believe she was allowed to go there, I bet the Secret Service tried their best to talk Obama out of this craziness. I live where people freely crossed the border for many years- generations with family in Mexico- they no longer think it is safe. There is no safe place in Mexico.

At first blush, this might be the result of simple security concerns. But since scrubbing the story has resulted in 1000 times more people becoming aware of it, the truth seems to be simple Obama thuggery.
