After Michelle leaves for China, do you want a back rub first or a game of pick up?

OH SHIT! There goes Taiwan. Every time an Obama family member takes a trip, another free country goes under.

I wonder if Obama told Henny Youngman jokes, such as:

“China, take my wife, please!”

Between the dogs private staff, plan, paying their daughters $40K+ to be her ‘staffers’ which is illegal as neither are old enough to work then the issue of cronyism. All those golf trips, other vacations, private parties, her BD party and present we SERFS have spent over 5 BILLION $$ on their personal wants.

Nothing is too costly for KingHussein’s wife, the elitist CONgre$$ and the UNaccountable bureaucrats (socialists) running the U.S.A. - United Socialists of America.
