Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Setting new standards in government irresponsibility. I suppose her defense will be that it was a stimulus.

“$4 shrimp” can be just as good as “It’s the economy stupid!” to make out point.
Restitution by all who participated should be mandatory.

anyone got a picture or resume for Martha Johnson?
I just bet moochelles vacay to Vegas was much more austere
The White House is blaming Bush.
Comrade Obama and Comrade Michelle Obama spend a minimum of $800,000 on only vacation. That is called leading by example.

Martha Johnson has been a bona fide dipwick from the beginning, but someone in the democrat party has shielded her, ahem, “demograpic”
Kinda has that “Jane Lynch” vibe
How many attended and how long was the conference? $820,000 for a couple thousand attendees for a week is different from 100 for a couple days.
Heck, what’s money when you can print all you need?
A section of that Wiki article:
“While at a retreat for Democratic senators, Obama made the comments in response to a question from Sen. Patrick Leahy about his judicial nominations. Obama expanded his answer to include not just blocked judicial nominations but also executive nominations as well:
Nobody can tell me that there’s anything particularly wrong with her. (nice call Mr. President! - my insertion)
They’re blocking her because of some unrelated matter. Don’t hold this — this woman hostage. If you have an objection about my health-care policies, then let’s debate the health-care policies. But don’t suddenly end up having a GSA administrator who is stuck in limbo somewhere because you don’t like something else that we’re doing.
—Barack Obama”
Takes one ignorant, inexperienced executive to know another, doesn’t it?
The reasoning for the conference goes like this.......
The conference was intended to make the government employees feel equal to their business, real world, counterparts.Vegas exists for the purpose of drawing business guests and lavish entertainment is the magnet, the bait.
To insist government employees are not in need of such rewards and pampering is to degrade their usefulness and self esteem. The pampering is a diversion from the mundane business of meeting and socializing with your counterparts scattered about the country.
So if I rob a bank for $800,000, if I get caught all I have to do us turn in my resignation as a bank robber and all is OK. She should go to jail or reach into her own account and pay it back. No money in her account? Don’t you believe it, it’s packed full of Obama stash dollars.
Knew I'd seen that face before.....
Are you suggesting she slept her way to the top?
I am not defending the GSA turds, but anyone who has dealt with hotels’ catering operations can tell you their prices are surreal.
Okay, but try and get an expense report with that kind of charge approved if is was incurred by a DoD employee.
