Time for the White House to rein in Michelle Obama's out-of-control spending
The Daily Telegraph (London) ^

Posted on 08/26/2011 10:08:29 AM PDT by kelsiejackson

With the United States facing a national debt of more than $14 trillion, the largest since World War Two, wouldn’t it make sense for the White House itself to start trimming its own spending? A good place to begin cutting would be Michelle Obama’s rather generous vacation programme. Keith Coffler, who edits the influential White House Dossier, notes that Michelle Obama spent no less than 42 days on vacation over the past year – that’s one in every nine days.

I'm sure this guy is a racist. Why else would he be demanding a privileged minority find something else to occupy her wasted time besides wantonly spending (wasting?) taxpayer dollars?

Asking Barack Obama to control Michelle’s ‘out of control spending’ is like inviting Jesse James to work at your bank.

But....but....she believes she is Queen. Doesn’t she have the right to spend as much as she feels she deserves?

So out of her 365 days of not working, she spent 42 on vacation? Must be nice.

(Don't give me the 'she's a mom, that's her job' business either, because she has her own personal village to raise those two kids; a staff of dozens and of course granny there too).

I would trust Jesse over Barack.

How come we only get honest reporting about the 0bama’s from the London papers?

The Telegraph and the Daily Mail have no trouble telling the truth as they see it, and what they see isn't flattering.

Even so-called conservative US dailies (I guess that means the WSJ) never get really rough on how they conduct themselves, although they do rip up on the policies.

It's more than past time for gloves-off treatment of this pair.

I’d call her Marie Antoinette but she doesn’t want us to eat cake.

She’s the epitome of someone who lacks integrity.

That's the saddest part, isn't it? This country hosts the largest agglomeration of media on the planet, and not one of them--whether out of salivating love or fear of "you racist" tar and feathering--is willing to "hold the national leadership accountable."

Welcome to Airstrip One.

Give Moochelle a break. Until she got ahold of the taxpayer's credit card, she was ashamed of her Country and its flag.

It would be in the public interest to have the exact numbers provided by the White House so that Americans know precisely how much of their money is being spent on vacations.

I'm sure those numbers will be right up. And I also heard that the NYT's was working on a big story on this very issue. Yeah, that's what I heard. /s
