Judicial Watch Sues Air Force and Secret Service for Records Michelle Obama Ski Vacation to Aspen

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit on May 31, 2012 against the United States Air Force and the United States Secret Service to obtain records detailing Michelle Obama's February 2012 President's Day weekend ski vacation to Aspen, Colorado with her two daughters...

Judicial Watch seeks access to any and all records concerning the mission taskings, transportation costs and passenger manifests for Mrs. Obama's February 2012 trip to Aspen, Colorado.

...

the Aspen trip was the 16th vacation in three years taken by the Obama family.

"Why is the Obama administration repeatedly stonewalling basic questions about the costs of the Obama family's personal travel?" asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "In the least, the Obama administration owes the American people the truth about how much each of these trips cost, instead of stonewalling and obfuscation."

In April, Judicial Watch obtained documents from the United States Air Force and the United States Secret Service detailing costs associated with Michelle Obama's controversial August 2010 vacation to Spain. According to a Judicial Watch analysis, the records indicate a total combined cost of at least $467,585.

Poor Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch....they try their best to get something to happen, but I don’t think a whole lot of people care about them.

If they could pull something off here, it would really be a big help for them....but I have my doubts.

They stayed at the residence of Jim Crown, owner of the Aspen Skiing Co ( plus Crown has pieces of JPMorgan, General Dynanics...)

Among the billionaire elite from Chicago were Jim and Paula Crown of the powerful Chicago Crown family, which ranked #75 on the 2008 Forbes list of Richest Americans with an estimated $4.8 billion. They both raised at least $500,001 for Obama.

Why is it that we know more details about the assault on Osama’s compound than we can get the government to tell us about first family vacations? Answer: politics trumps national security every time with this regime.

Larry no long works for Judical Watch. Tom Finton runs it now. Finton is having very good success exposing the First B*^%H.

We should change the requirements for president so that no president can be married. That way, it’s less stuff the opposing party can bitch about. Plus, it would be way cheaper.

Movin' on up...!
...on the taxpayers' dime...

The Obamas must be communists.
They are classless.

Now we know what "Our time has come!" actually meant.
