Is Michelle Obama a modern-day Mary Lincoln? Anonymous (so far) White House sources are saying it's a fair comparison as the First Lady does to President Obama what Mary Todd did to her husband by spending taxpayer money on luxuries like it was drying up forever. Which is possible...
In the last year alone Michelle Obama is accused of spending more than $10 million on vacations and expensive accommodations, all on the public dime. The report, broken by the National Enquirer, is light on the sources, but heavy on the details. The picture painted seems to go way beyond what can be expected for the normal expenses incurred protecting the First Lady and her family.
One key complaint centers on the secrecy over Mrs. Obama's staff listing. Who are they and how many are there? So far, there's never been an official public disclosure.
But the main dispute stems from the fact that Michelle Obama has already spent more than 6 weeks away from her public duties.
Most of that time was eaten up by separate travel from her husband, on military aircraft, and staying at the most expensive and luxurious hotels. All the while running up sky-high bills for top-shelf alcohol, food and personal luxury perks.
The Obamas, of course, are entitled to vacations and having a good time, together as a family. But shouldn't they be held accountable for gouging the taxpayer? Can't they pay for the perks out of their own pocket? Especially at a time like this?
President Obama will have a hard enough time getting re-elected next year. His wife, like that of his self-professed hero and role model, Abraham Lincoln, shouldn't be making it harder for him.
Maybe even impossible?
Ah ,so this is why compares himself to Lincoln
Moose Shell, jus’ sharin’ the sacrifice.

What can you expect from a sistah from de ‘hood?
Brought to you by REAL JOURNALISTS of the National Enquirer who happened to break the John Edwards scandal.
Shows you how far journalism and the search for a “hard story” from the MSM has fallen.
FUBO and your Wookie too.
Michelle better scarf up on all those benefits she can cram in her ample mouth while she can. Him, too. This dream’s gonna come to an abrupt end one of these days.
Not from this source, or at all that I can find.
MO = another low-life liberalwith an open checkbook. She doesn’t care about anyone or anything but herself.
This is what they wanted. Not the job but the perks. Now we all have to pay the price for the idiots that voted him into the WH.
Ms 10 pounds of baloney in a 1 pound bag certainly didn’t need a private plane to shuttle her girth to Mahthas Vinyahd, she could have gone with the Chief Grifter. The Wookie needs to pay her own way.
So I'm working six days a week just to keep food on the table and pay the rent and this is where a huge chunk of my paycheck goes?
OMG! You said exactly what I was thinking but was too p*ssed off to type......LOL
She’s a welfare queen stealing our money. Get a job!
Oh dear! How can people be so cruel?
*snicker*
The National Enquirer has always employed very professional journalists...at least in my lifetime. I far more trust the accuracy of their stories than I do of, say, CBS News or AP. The so called professional news organizations are agenda driven to emphasize stories that harm one side over the other.
The Enquirer only has an agenda for the sensational.
We should start calling her Imelda.
[Ah ,so this is why compares himself to Lincoln]
“I get more criticism than Lincoln did (from Mary Todd for not spending more on her. Moochelle is driving me nuts!)”
Redactions restored!
You only work 6 days a week?!?! What did you do to get a day off??
Your source IS different from the earlier posted threads. For some fun reading click on the keyword moochelle.
Glad I could help. ;D
I’m surprised I didn’t spell something wrong. I usually do because these people have me POd 24-7.
