Ummm, no offense. But the Secret Service does that for every President. The floors above and below have to be vacant.

It's good to be the king!

Yes, whatever happened to going thru the budget line by line? Obummer used his first Cabinet meeting in April to "send a signal that we are serious about trimming the fat of government spending.

And, whatever happened to "everyone must sacrifice" and "“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times …"

Once again, it's the old "do as I say, not as I do" from Hussein and the rest of the Washington political elites.

Hussein continues to globe trot in luxury around the world on the taxpayer's dime. The Ritz in Russia. The Phoenician in AZ (below). The five star resort in MT. The $35-$50K a week mansion in Martha's Vineyard...How's that for "cutting the fat" and "saving the planet?".

Must be nice to live in five star luxury at the taxpayer's expense as he intentionally destroys the US economy.

Thanks for the luxury vacations America!!! I am enjoying destroying the middle class, the US economy, the energy sector, the auto industry, the banking industry, the health care industry, the US Dollar and the US Constitution in Style! Cheers!

Remember how low key and deferential President Bush was?

Oh, my, how I miss having an adult President, and not a man-child king!

“We ultimately had 400 rooms reserved,” said Middleton, noting that there were various entities within the Presidential entourage - security, press, admin staff, culinary staff - and their arrangements were “somewhat coordinated and somewhat uncoordinated.”

Why in the world do they need a culinary staff for one night?

“Obama is scheduled to vacation next week at the 28.5 acre Blue Heron Farm in Martha’s Vineyard.”

Praying for Hurricane Bill to hit the Vineyard right after Obama and his entourage arrive there!

It was clearly stated in a news report that when 0bama went to Russia he upgraded his hotel- big time in comparison to the Bushes and Clinton’s visits.

Kristinn- send htis to Hannity or glen beck, ask them to look into how hte president is being IRRESPONSIBLE with OUR money durign one of hte worst economic downturns in a l ong time- ask them to investigate just how much the ‘first family’ has spent, then ask that they compare that with what Bush spend and how he took a boatload of flak for spending, during good economic times no less, only a fraction of what the obamas ARE spending during htis crucial economic hardtimes

Thank you for this stunning report, kristinn. As you said, I haven't heard a word about this in the State-run Media.

Here's an excerpt from kristinn's report, FReepers:

The White House booked 400 (FOUR HUNDRED) hotel rooms at the Big Sky Resort for Barack Obama's overnight visit last week for a town hall meeting in nearby Bozeman, Montana. Two floors were completely taken over, including the penthouse suites.

While the national news media is ignoring the story, local media let the news slip in their gushing stories of how thrilling it was to have Obama in their midst...

Kristinn, why doesn't Obama do a town hall meeting on the South Side of Chicago so we can see how he speaks to black Americans?

We've seen him deal with star struck guilty whites - how about the other side?

Is he afraid of us seeing him talk to black people ? A group that is actually under-insured...

What is he telling them?

It takes a whole lot of room to house a massive EGO such as the one with which Obama is cursed. He merits our loathing.......pity...pity....merits our pity.

THIS PATRIOT SHOWS US WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST AND WHY WE MUST PRESS ON!

This is from a woman who lives in Bozeman, Montana. Thought you would be interested in the truth about how his visits are orchestrated. Her husband is a former Navy pilot and Delta Airlines captain.

Hello All,


By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Bill and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward this on.

On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date.

On about Tuesday Bill found out that they would be holding the "Town Hall" at the airport. (This is only because Bill knows EVERYONE at the airport) Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public.

FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$

During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$

Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.

Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.

This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.

On Friday Bill and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.

The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)

Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.

So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest.

If you are wondering about the press...Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds.

We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho. Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.

It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America, more like the USSR!! I was physically nauseous. Bill and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices.. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC. Scary!!



To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
