You'll have to read the Snopes articles, but an email I got said that Obama's 13 year old daughter took 12 of her friends (and 25 Secret Service agents) to Mexico for Spring Break on your tax dollars. The article also points out that Obama instructed the SS to close down any web sites that talked about it. I wonder if that's why I couldn't get on FR for most of yesterday?

Being that this is old news - Happened last month - I doubt it had anything to do with yesterday.
Are you just now hearing of this?

This is my #1 worry about the demise of print media. It’s much easier for Winston Smith to edit a web page than suppress thousands if copies of newspapers.

All the Mexican hookers were paid in full. Along with the donkeys...or maybe they were dinner, in lieu of dog.

Stop demagoguing the issue - we have enough real problems without people making up stuff.

Any guesses on how many of her friends are part of the 99%?

Why is an 11 year old going on Spring Break? Especially out of the country. Especially to a country that her father cautions Americans to avoid.

I’m sure that Zer0 and the Wookie will reimburse the US government for the vacation trip, with the tax savings he gained by only having to pay 20.5% vs telling Buffett to pay 30% - a savings to Zer0 of $75,000.

I should have said the email made that assertion.

I kinda doubt that would cover the round trip flight on a 757 to Mexico, hotel and security for 12 guests and 25 SS agents, plus food and “incidentals”. Plus, Obozo doesn’t have the class to pay for his daughter’s or wife’s vacations.

Yep. I did a FR search and no articles came up, so I put it up.

Doing an FR search is usually pointless. Even for current news. On old news - use your favorite search engine.
