Malia Obama Takes 12 Friends on Spring Break Trip to Mexico
Snopes ^ | March 28, 2012 | Barbara and David Mikkelson

Posted on 04/20/2012 12:11:52 PM PDT by econjack

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?

The FR server was down for a while yesterday.

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.

Along with the donkeys...or maybe they were dinner, in lieu of dog.

Oh come on - the article says absolutely nothing about closing down any websites.

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.

VANILLA milkshakes? What kind of racial statement are they trying to make? Shocking.

Looks like this needs wider distribution.

Misleading headlines

Taxpayers take 12 friends to Mexico and provide security.

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.

Well, I just got an e-mail that says I can have 30% of a dormant Bank account in England, if I help this guy out, but I didn't post a thread about it.

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