Good question, paging the "Munchkin Medical Examiner"!

That would require giving money to a private enterprise, and the touchstone of the Democrats is “Heaven forbid somebody might make a buck!”

"Barack Obama’s $7 million Hawaii vacation is an insult to America’s struggling middle class"

He is an insult any way you look at it.

A menace and a dictator, too.

Oh, I could go on and on and on...

"Remember how the press howled about Bush vacationing at his ranch in Texas? Other than the cost of flying Air Force One and a minimal security detail to protect the isolated ranch, the taxpayers weren’t out the cost of an Obama date night in New York city. Bush at his own expense even fixed quarters at the ranch for the Secret Service agents. The Obama’s live like Louis and Marie Antoinette while the peasants cannot afford bread.:

The press was mad at Bush for taking a vacation at Crawford because he wasn't going to a ritzy place they would be able to go to and "cover". They wanted the Hamptons, etc.

Also, Crawford and all of Texas can't be hot as all get out and the press couldn't handle the heat and humidity.

At the same time they couldn't handle the heat, Bush was working outside doing....manual work - gasp...in clearings at the ranch.

He saw no problem in sweating. The press was not happy.

"Bush a;ways stayed at Camp David for Christmas so his Secret Service Agents could spend Christmas with their families."

Yes!

"I’ll bet Danny Glover wants to keep his privileged life and mega salary."

Won't Danny Glover and the rest of his high-rolling Hollywood peeps be in the 1% that have to pay the progressively higher taxes?

I don't know how, but they will get around it. Maybe like the french guy, Glover and the other will take themselves and their mega money to another country.

" his home state of Hawaii"

*snort*

Whatever...guess they had to go out of the way to mention "home state".

"7 million + vacation?"

Don't forget the cost of "cake" that the rest of us can only dream of as we watch them through the windows...

Eating cake....

"I don’t think that a robo-signature is legal."

I've read on FR that it is legal and that it is not legal.

I can see in my mind's eye that if this goes south, Obama can say something like 'I didn't sign that bill' kinda like 'You didn't build that..."

He can say someone else authorized the AutoPen. He had no knowledge of what was going on behind his back. After all, he was on a much-needed vacation and trusted his aides to tell him what was in it. But, of course they didn't so its not his fault.

RE: LE MISERABLE is a foretelling of what is ahead for America. Everyone should see it and be reminded that this is how an Obama revolution could end.

You are expecting this to happen in our cities?

Probably live off a dividend salary. Have a company that pays for their home, travel, etc. Just like Buffet.

I haven’t seen LE MISERABLE..I have heard good and bad things about it.I Won’t go to a movie theater to see movies to many germs lurking, so I will wait until it come to home movies.
