The Obamas must be feeling weaker. The old Barack and Michelle would have doubled down on the safari out of spite and arrogance.

The article does note that Bush 43 took his wife and daughters on a similar trip in 2003 that included a safari. Difference was Bush wasn’t known for spending millions of taxpayer dollars on lux vacays.

...which would have required the presidents special counterassault team to carry sniper rifles with high-caliber rounds... "High-caliber rounds." What are we talking here, .88 Magnum? Those things shoot through schools! BTT

Chances are Obama will be in Africa twice in a short time because he’ll return for Mandela’s funeral.

Didn’t Clinton go there with some 27 - 747 airplanes and staff that were still landing while he was getting ready to leave?

We Can’t send a Carrier to the Persian Gulf but we can turn one into a stand-by Hospital for these Vacationers. Will Chevy Chase be with them?
