Spain Trip: Todd Senses 'Something More' Happening Behind Scenes With Michelle O
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/09/2010 5:41:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

"Uncomfortable" was the word of the day at Morning Joe when it came to discussing Michelle Obama's decision to go on a luxurious vacation to Spain in the midst of a recession—and to miss celebrating her husband's birthday with him to boot.

Chuck Todd didn't go into details, but NBC's clearly ill-at-ease political director suggested: that this was a "private decision" by the First Lady; that it wouldn't have made any difference what the Pres. Obama's political advisors would have said; and that "you get the sense here that there was something more to this" than pure politics.

Joe Scarborough reinforced Todd's message: "this is part of a bigger narrative, isn't it, about Michelle Obama?"

You’re right, but as I explained in Post #42, I wasn’t talking about money, but rather, behaviors. It is weird to me that a wife would not want to be with her husband on his birthday.

Of course, it’s also possible maybe HE didn’t want to be with HER on his birthday.

It’s bad enough when you have a country full of people who hate you. It’s really bad when even those closest to you don’t like you.

>>If the Republicans don’t screw up and can win the House in Nov., what are the odds of Zero being impeached?<<

Absolutely ZERO, as in 0bambi. First, they lack the cojones. Second, the Senate won’t go along. Third, the civil disturbances would be monumental. Which leads us back to #1.

Get real.

The article in El Mundo never ever said she had met with some high level Saudi’s. All it said was that her schedule would be shuffled to meet with them.

The entire article was very gossipy.

You can’t read Spanish so don’t invent.

in another story being spun by the WH, Michelle supposedly went to Spain to visit with a grieving friend who's father passed away in July....yeah, right!

The communists can't get their story straight. Bob Beckel just said on FOX that the trip was "scheduled" a year ago.

The communist Media is trying to paint 0b0z0's dysfunctional family as Camelot II. Well, it ain't, rather, the name Scam-a-lot is truthful.

Beat me to it.

Limp wrist, touching men and crossing legs like a women plus whatever she knows or sees that the public does not know or see.

You are so clever...Scam-a-lot is the perfect name for the world the dysfunctional, irreverent, hypocritical, lying Obama pair live in...and the world they "hope" Americans will accept. Fat chance!

It might have taken some Americans a while, but most all are coming around and waking up to see the audacity of Barack and Michelle's low class behavior, anti-American and racist agenda, and in-your-face attitude. Remember the old adage: "You can fool some of the people, some of the time. But you can't fool all of the people, all of the time." I believe that was P.T. Barnum’s finest quote - and so appropriate for today's WH couple.

Why, thank you both.

Two coffees did the trick. NOPE, regular perk coffee, no Irish addition!

We have to fumigate, scrub-clean and return the Outhouse back to the White House, OUR HOUSE!

I usually just pray for them - especially if I notice a child’s car seat in the vehicle.

That is bizarre. Summer camp over a Spain vacation with your mother and sister.

The worst I’ve done is change lanes in front of such a person without using my turn signal...

It was moving fast enough to hit you?

Thank you, melancholy. Did I do/say something nice to you and just can't remember?? Horrors!! Am I having a *senior moment*??

You're right. We will have to fumigate the place. I'd like to start YESTERDAY!

The “senior moment” is all mine!! LOLOLOLOL

I answered your post on a different thread, combined it in answering another compliment from another FReeper regarding another subject!

I don’t even believe that I can follow the above explanation!

MRS. obama does not like being the “MRS”.

She is a lawyer so now she is taking advangage of her imperial position of being Mrs. mao.

“Do you know who I am?” syndrome.
