Out here in this Fly-Over Country; It is accepted by most that Obama as an unashamed narcissistic ´Snot-banger´. Is not changing HIS ways. Not as long as he is able to stick it to "The Man". His (Base)Supporters think that attitude is exactly what THEY think is OK, as well.
America will pay for him until he takes his eternal dirt nap. As he laughs in perpetuity.

Not just the World´s Best Political Cartoonist, Michael Ramirez wields a mean editorial pen as well.

Bravo, Mr. Ramirez!

Note SEIU´s thug leader Andy Stern is a frequents WH visitor.
The same SEIU that mourns Chavez death.
Obama is planning at the WH another bash for Michelles 50th birthday complete with Beyonce and Adele.
It is time to start demonstrating against Moocelle Antoinette and her ifraudulent POTUS.
He is not an American.

What me worry? Why let them eat cake. Be careful Barry, Louis the XVI and spouse were on the cutting edge way back when.

We know Obama´s golf expeditions have no effect on the deficit. Neither do WH tours.

Yet reducing both would have been better.

Perception is very important. And from what we see it is logical to conclude that the woes of the nation are of almost no concern in the District Of Columbia.

You can´t be serious, Ramirez.

After being crammed into that Boeing-built flying closet for 2 or 3 or even 4 hours, Stinky´s gotta stretch his legs, get some air, mingle with some regu-- OK, ignore and walk past some regular people, with his nose characteristically in the air, and do some golf. Some golfing. Whatever.

How much did Zippy spend whining and dining last week alone ?

How much will Mooochelle´s big birthday bash cost US ?

It was reported by National Review that the First Family´s health care costs $7 million per year.

It´s a safe bet they won´t be facing any insurance refusals or death panels.

Obama´s strategery in telling agencies to make cuts hurt, has backfired... big time.
Peeps aren´t as stupid as progessives think.

Miscreants who decided to close parks instead of cutting waste will soon stop drooling with joy. Americans are revolting... children´s videos going viral... It´s too easy to point at waste vs what they are cutting.

$74,000 a week for what? I´ve read that the tour guides are volunteers. I´ve also read here and there that these tours cost $18,000 a week.

If we are spending 1,500,000,000 a year on Barry´s family we can spend what it take so we the people can see OUR house.

Agree with #10. Why is no one questioning $74,000 for a weeks worth of tours. Waste, fraud and abuse is the main culprit.

C´mon folks. They are the First Black Family to live in the White House - you know - payback and all that.

It´s about making the people suffer, not himself.

I´ll bet he hates having the common masses in his hut. This is just a convenient excuse.

If these tours, run mostly through volunteers, cost $74K per week using White House math, just imagine what the real cost of a Flordia golf weekend was (w/AF One, advance teams, checkers, re-checkers, etc., etc., etc.). The first family has no trouble whatsoever taking down Colorado ski areas on one of the busiest weekends each year (President´s Day in February) voiding long made, expensive vacation plans of regular folks, so they can have a clear path down the slopes, and then shut down DC plans for millions with this political stunt. But they care about the little guy so much.

I´m also having a "fuzzy math" problem. Seven employees at say $40K average annually ($50K w/gov. benefits)= $350,000 annually divided by 52 weeks=$6730 per week.

It´s self-guided, so printing programs and batteries for the cassettes can´t be that much.

Must be additional surcharges for golf, bithday parties, Hawaii, AF1, rap concerts to get to $74,000!

He´s sticking his finger in our eye again. He does it every chance he gets. He´s a mean nasty little man child.

Has he ever once taken vacation at Camp David?? What a great place to go.

I got it!! He can rent out Camp David to his high rolling friends for $76,000 per week. Although, it probably will take that much money to clean out the smell after they are gone.

$7M / yr for health care? What´s wrong with them? Sounds terminal.

The ex-mayor of Detroit was convicted yesterday of using his office for personal gain. He is facing a possible 20-year prison sentence.
How much greater is Obama´s use of OUR tax dollars and using his office for personal gain?
The comment was made by a Detroiter yesterday that the ex-mayer had looted Detroit. Isn´t Obama looting America?
Time for Congress to step up and send O packing without any of our tax dollars to support him in any way!!!!

That new soccer field for the Guantanamo detainees could have covered over three months of WH tours. His weekend with Tiger would have covered over 3 months. His upcoming trip to Martha´s Vineyard would covered the rest of the year. What about those Wednesday night parties at the WH? What are those running?
How embarrassing to us as a nation that we can no longer afford to have tours of our capital, yet our president lives like a king.
How is it that the House has lost all control over the ´purse´?

I listened to Mark Steyn filling in for Rush yesterday & he made a point that should be repeated every time you confront libs who excuse his excesses. He said that BO has TWO more residences than the average American (the White House, Camp David & his Chicago home). Since one thing always gets a libs attention - their JEALOUSY of what others have - drive home that point. Use actual numbers they understand. Use their own rhetoric against them. Example - "Playing golf never fed a hungry child!" "A missed vacation is a small sacrifice to keep Head Start going - doesn´t he care about the cheeldrennn?" Start pushing back in ways that make them see their own pet causes are getting hurt.

He may not want any tours in order to hide the urine smell on all the busts in the WH.

The public is only allowed to see duffer #1 exit AF #1. Actually there are about 100 additional security, relatives, and freeloaders dining and wining on the very best, compliments of schmucks like us.

The Obamas are the Clintons on steroids.

Took the White House tour 2 years ago with the family. Tour took about 14 minutes. All I heard from the tour guide was "move along, move along" My 10 year old said it was the most disappointing part of DC. Knowing that Barry and his wife Mooch were just on the other side of a wall, I kind of felt the same way. Your time is better spent elsewhere in DC, like a Starbucks or something.

The Federal Government is still hiring new employees at a rapid pace. Obama does not care about anything except expanding Government in order to control the lives of all Americans, legal or illegal. That is why Congress needs to SHUT OFF the flow of money and force less spending. What is so hard for these elected officials to understand ?

The only reason he wanted the job was for the perks and bennies. Obviously he didn´t care about the welfare of the country or he´d be worrying about jobs and the economy. And he has the perfect soul-mate in Moochelle. She´s just a little more obvious about it.

The $75,000 is primarily for the SS staff, and is bogus, because those are fixed WH costs, not variable costs resulting from the tours. This is petty, vindictive stunt, totally in keeping with a petty, vindictive president.

The POTUS´s bag of golf bats should be placed in the driveway of the White House, to be run over by GM-1.

Then, park GM-1, Marine-1 and AF-1 for the duration except for travel in accordance with duties described in the Constitution of the United States.

I believe it´s obvious now. We have King Louis XIV and Queen Marie Antoinette in the White House. "Let them eat vegetables."

Correction : Louis XVI. I cant keep the Louis(s) straight.
