Democratic Party front group Media Matters for America has been loyally defending First Lady Michelle Obama's luxurious Spanish vacation this week even as other liberals concede the Obama administration made a politically insensitive call in signing off on the trip.
Today, Media Matters attacked Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit/Pajamas Media for his critique of Michelle Obama's trip. The headline of the attack piece: Michelle Obama derangement syndrome: Instapundit posts pic of First Lady as Marie Antoinette
Not only does the headline reinforce the growing meme that Michelle Obama is acting like a rich pig, but upon opening the article one is confronted with a huge graphic posted by Media Matters of Michelle Obama as Marie Antoinette with her muscular hand set on a globe captioned Choosing the next Vacation that is four times the size of the brief two paragraph attack article:
The illustration is from the Glenn Reynolds piece which itself is a short excerpt of a Roger L. Simon article asserting that Michelle's extravagant trip is one more indication that Barack Obama has a psychological disorder and doesn't really want to be president anymore.
The illustration is grounded in truth, which gives it a credibility that Media Matters, which is suffering from its own version of Obama Derangement Syndrome, can't see because of its blind loyalty to the First Couple.
Since becoming First Lady nineteen months ago, Michelle Obama has vacationed overseas in Paris, London, Copenhagen and Marbella. She still has a family vacation booked to Indonesia and Australia that has been twice postponed this year because of her husband's incompetence and rudeness. She also vacationed in Los Angeles this year, sans her husband, sitting in a luxury box for an NBA championship game and visiting a private beach owned by a billionaire.
Barack and Michelle Obama have also vacationed across America from Hawaii to Maine, with stays at a $4,000 rental home in Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard (with a second trip there later this month) taken over 300 rooms at a Montana resort, traveled through Western National Parks, two Chicago vacation weekends, one weekend vacation each in North Carolina and Maine (with a Florida weekend planned next week) and the infamous date night in New York City.
When the Obamas don't feel like traveling the world, they bring the world to them at taxpayer expense, including a pizza chef from St. Louis and all kinds of performers for their White House parties.
The Marie Antoinette meme is sticking to Michelle Obama, and by extension her husband, because more and more people are seeing the First Couple for what they are. Now more liberal reporters will see them that way, too, thanks to the blind loyalty of Media Matters.
Folks, you better get real and face the facts. Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama hate these United States of America to their very core being. Both are unbalanced mentally. Case in point: Michelle has traveled extensively outside the USA, which is fine if she conducted herself with dignity. But, every thing she does is “in-you-face” stuff shoved down the throats of average Americans suffering from hard times, lost jobs, lost careers and a failing economy festered on and promoted by her husband the POTUS Obama and his lock step Democrat Party. This is her way of getting even with you evil Americans (spending your tax dollars in Socialist, anti-American Spain instead of spending our money right here at home to aid Americans in our travel and entertainment industry)!!!! As for the POTUS Obama, he spins (not well) that he is all for American private economy, but nothing could be further from the truth. He is doing his utmost to tear America down and turn our wonderful nation into a third world cesspool that he and his ilk can control forever. Better wise up Dudes & Gals!!! Get your butts into gear, and when November 2, 2010 arrives go to polls and vote to destroy the entire Democrat Party that allowed a monster, a hater, a deranged mind to rule our country. There is no such thing a “good and loyal Democrat, period!!!
Michelle Obama is acting like a rich pig

Good find. Thanks!
Actually, Michelle obama is not acting like a rich pig. She is acting like a squalid pig who just stole all the money from the vault of a bank somewhere.
Paulycy, did you airbrush that face by chance? Otherwise, you are ahead of your peers.
Yep. Good job!
I just use my free GIMP software and do my untrained best.
Where are they getting the money? Their net worth can’t sustain this kind of spending.
GIMP software? Isn’t that just a tad un PC?
That’s funny. LOL
Speaking of stinky, I heard consideration is being given to changing our national symbol from the eagle to the skunk because our president is black, white and stinks.
Not disagreeing or anything but what analogy do you see with post civil war reconstruction?
Yeah. It's actually referred to as "The GIMP" by those In The Know. It's a photoshop replacement.
Sure is nice to have free software that does 90% of what the $500 software does. (It helps makes up for a lot of the amateur, technical mistakes I make. :0)
Want to get even madder,I first saw this on FOX and then looked it up..and found it was true..
President Barack Obama left the White House this morning for a six-mile trip to a sign factory on the Maryland-D.C. border. But instead of taking the presidential Motorcade, he took Marine One – the presidential Helicopter. A quick search on Google Maps shows the drive would have taken at least 20 minutes, but the Helicopter trip took just eight. And, according to one unofficial estimate, it was the 300th trip Obama has taken in Marine One since taking office 20 months ago.

They are acting like the trash family who, after the funeral services, goes joy riding in the limo “because it’s paid for.”
MO wishes!
Well, they got the arms right...LOL!!!
