Michelle to Remain in Hawaii,
Costing Taxpayers Over $100K

White House Dossier, by Keith Koffler

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 12/26/2012 12:05:19 PM

President Obama will return to Washington from Hawaii Thursday while First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters plan to continue their vacation, adding at least $100,000 and probably more than $200,000 to taxpayer costs for the excursion. Instead of accompanying her husband home on Air Force One, Mrs. Obama will fly on her own Air Force jet at a later date and require security and staff to remain in place in Hawaii for the length of her stay, which reportedly could extend until January 6.

Comments:
"Whatever Moochie wants, Moochie gets..."

And that is just for the flights - which could end up being more. Koffler gives an estimate of the various costs involved that takes them to more than twice the $100,000 in the headline. He´s good, but it is probably much, much, Mooch more. Especially if she stays longer than estimated.

The average social security check is about $1,230 (according to SSA website).

That $100,000 would cover a bit more than 81 months of checks - almost 7 years!

and yet the media is already spinning this story as Obama´s "sacrifice" - leaving his family vacation early to deal with those nasty Republicans.

Yup, elections have consequences.

I think that they have rented that house for 20 days, so most of the vacation remains ahead. I think that the President will return to Hawaii next week, so the additional cost for Air Force One will be alot more than $100k.

Article: If Obama strikes an early deal on the fiscal cliff and then returns to Hawaii to finish up his vacation, the tab for taxpayers would be extraordinary. Air Force One costs about $180,000 an hour to fly, and the roundtrip taxpayer-funded ticket for the nine-hour flight would amount to about $3.24 million.

What´s money to King Obamameia, Divine Ruler of the Hawaiian Islands. Obamameia & Queen Moochalotta will bestow their blessings on us, and we will be eternally grateful and forever poorer for this. Or, King Obamameia wears the royal leis while we get royally screwed.

So the most repulsive first lady in history, her family, and her surly, leech-like handholding daughters are going to remain in Hawaii. Heaven help us if we don´t realize how much they´ve earned and deserve yet another a vacation and that adding another few hundred thousands should be of no consequence, or none of the business of the taxpayers.

There isn´t a category where anyone could stuff this bow-legged, classless, money-sucking boor. One can only hope that she´s spared the media any shots of herself in a bikini. I don´t want blind if I encounter them by accident.

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”
