Malia in Mexico story vanishing from the Web
Times247 ^ | 3/19/12 | Eric Ritz

Posted on 03/19/2012 5:59:15 PM PDT by lward99

Have you heard that Malia Obama, the president’s daughter, is reportedly spending her spring break in Oaxaca, Mexico?

Allegedly, she’s jetting off with some of her classmates and 25 Secret Service agents to a country that the State Department has said all Americans should avoid. But something is different about the latest “Obama vacation controversy:” references to it are disappearing from the Internet — and fast.

? Where do you extrapolate anything I posted previously as somehow equating that I "hate Mexico"? I do not hate Mexico, I simply have no sympathies for anyone naiive enough to still attempt to vacation there given all that country's problems. Simply because one is not in as much danger there than if one attempted to travel in the communist rebel territories in the northern phillippines does not mitigate its danger levels even though Mexico has a much better propaganda arm.

As far as "most of the country" being "perfectly all right" and somehow "safer on the street there", I must needs differ with you substantially. I even to this day have friends with relatives there warn about the dangers.

Keep your blinders on as you will; unless you have blood or at least very close ties to one or more of the Ruling Families, your safety in Mexico is as assured as the continued existence of a dollar bill on a city sidewalk.

Now you see it -now you don't.

If it's my tax dollars paying for it, yeah it is my business.

But, the point of my post was. Do you think that people who are staying at the same hotel are not twitting, or posting it on facebook?

Everyone (practically) post everything they are doing, saying, seeing, especially on vacation. If you don't want people talking about where your kid is staying, then don't let them go there.

And, quite frankly I'm tired of my tax dollars paying for the wife, and kiddies to be taking all these people all over the world sometimes on MY dime.

I haven't had a vacation in over 14 years. All they do is vacation.

laz....20+ secret service agents, Mexican police force, entire hotel shut down, streets blocked off, if they were that worried they shouldn’t have sent their 13 year old to Mexico on a spring break taxpayer funded vacation. Just sayin’ He pimps them out the time. the ONLY reason he wants this hushed up now is because it once again, shows how extravagant they are with our dollars. We will have to agree to disagree on this.

Question? Did anyone else go on Spring Break trips when they were 13? I thought this was a college thing

Most 13 year olds go on spring break vacations with their parents.

If the Obama’s loved America they would vacation here and spend money here to provide jobs here. Any American that vacations in Mexico spits on the USA.

So much for a “Free Republic.” While I concur with the sentiment “leave the kids alone,” and agree that the moderator should remove and block usera posting rude and inappropriate posts, but closing down the discussion violates the very nature of this site.

Not only is it unusual in our society for our twelve year old children to “spring break,” it is highly dangerous and extremely expensive to send one of the First Family alone to such a potentially hostile environment. It quite frankly is irresponsible at best, and flagrantly elitist at worse, for the President to abuse his position for such an excursion.

That said, the true insult has been committed by the moderator, taking it upon them-self to decide what subjects are “correct” for a Free Republic to discuss.

Sorry, the Secret Service could have moved her. Whitewashing the press is simply a violation of the Constitution and the Freedom of the Press. Dictatorship is here.

Are you sure that’s not an old photo? I don’t see any pictures on Breitbart.

"Better to keep her photos off of FR, frankly."

Yeah, better to let her Daddy's campaign team use her image as part of a family photo being sold on campaign buttons:

t’s only because Bambi doesn’t want to call attention to how much money his family is spending having fun in various parts of the globe.

DING DING SING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!! Just like the tried to hide the Aspen vacation last month. Vacations have become a real PITA. Big Moochelle wants them, lots of them, it’s a problem, so now they try to hide them.

“...the Secret Service could have moved her”

That’s a lot easier said than done if no alternative locale had been prepared for that sizable party.

Also, if the SS were to move the Obama party to another location, it leaves in place at the original hotel all its other guests and hotel staff, who could become inadvertent victims if there were an attack intended for the daughter of the POTUS. Those guests/staff would have NO SS protection.

There was no need for that kind of detail in the story. Nice way to put a lot of people at risk unnecessarily.

. If this is not being publicized, it’s simply because Obama doesn’t want any more attention called to the tax-payer funded jet-setting ways of the Caudillo and his sacred family.

WINNER!!! and it is being publicized, despite efforts of the Axelrod team to try to hide their extravagances.

Obama loves to stick it in our face and tell us to smell. He loves it. He loves tossing the finger at people, literally. There’s not a tiny bit of shame or embarassment; in fact, he’d LOVE you to actually SEE how opulantly and lavishly he lives.
_______________________________
I vehemently disagree with you on this. Last month Moochies Aspen vacation was very hush hush. It’s an election year, what you said is incorrect. He’s in trouble and things like this just piss more people off and he needs every vote he can get. It’s not about safety, it’s about hiding the money being spent. If it was about safety they wouldn’t have sent her to Mexico. I’m sure she is safe. That, you can count on.
