    Why did he send it back?
    Don't be surprised to find that Mac is right.

    Poo poo, eating caviar and rooming in $2K a night rooms is such an obligation.

    Churchill is considered by many historians to be the greatest leader of the 20th Century.

    Obama should have found someone else to demonstrate his pettiness on.

    Actually, he's winding them down, trying to finish Bush's errant no-win mess of a job. Your patriotic support is underwhelming.

    ...as is your concern for kids.

    Under fire by who, losers with unAmerican agendas?

    A new meaning for fact?

    Cool, sign me up!

    Thanx for that schoolin'...

    Do you have any actual proof that the first lady spent public funds on anything other then transportation or security?

    Surprisingly, a "top source" who told the National Enquirer isn't incredibly believable, nor are a bunch of random numbers pasted in a tabloid.



    you are all pathetic for believing this without a iota of proof, including the fools jumping to her defense in these ridiculous accusations.

    There are no photocopies of the receipts but those are the reports that we're getting.

    I think the Michelle is responsible for all the costs that the US taxpayer incurs.

    She can't expect to globe trot all over and act surprised that travel and security costs money.

    A lot of money.

    And if happens to be an alleged state visit such as the ones to India or Brazil she can charge everything including her booze and her mother's booze and everyone else she drags along to the taxpayer.

    I think all this extravagance is going to catch up to the Obama's in the next election.

    It may not cost them the election all by itself, but a percent or two off in a key state could be significant.

    So in a way I hope Michelle keeps on cashing in and rubbing it in our noses the way she has.

    So no, you have no proof, just alleged "reports".


    Hooray for unfounded accusations!

    I have no receipts that I can show you of her expenses.

    And based on that I think you and Michelle should ignore all the grumbling about her travel.

    Tell her to just keep on taking advantage of her position by cashing in at the taxpayer's expense and see how it plays in November 2012.

    Which I'm sure she will do anyway because just like Marie and Imelda she can't change what she is just for the sake of unhappy peasants.

    Spin it anyway you like, you are making wild accusations without any proof.

    It's a very damaging story for Obama and one that will strike a cord with the public.

    A very damaging piece of propaganda based on hearsay and rumors without a shead of proof. Very interesting that you would be proud of damaging someone's reputation by lying.

    15 million people out of work and struggling, the Obama's feel our pain don't they. What a national embarrassment. Hey Michelle I'm almost 53 years old and this is the first time in my life I'm not proud of our country and especially the Aristocracy in the White House.

    Please refer to my previous posts. Perhaps you can provide some proof that any of the first ladies vacation expenses outside of travel and security were paid for with taxpayer funds?

    Lunchboxxy demands evidence but at this point I think just one question answered would tell us a lot.

    Who is paying the $50,000 a week at the Blue Heron Farm on Martha's Vineyard?

    Obama should pay for that out of his own pocket but is he?

    Take that up with the posts source (UK Daily Mail), that's why we linked to it.

    Note to Lunchboxxy and Michelle: Splitting legal hairs and stonewalling the obvious may work in a court of low when you are accused of embezzlement but it won't save the Obama's in a political sense.

    They better come up with something better than that.

    The daily mail does not cite any proof what so ever, and since you are the one making the claim on this forum, you should provide proof of these accusations, or admit that you are just spreading unfounded rumors with no evidence to back them up

    Better yet, they should be audited and forced to offer full disclosure about their expenses like Sarah Palin was with her private e-mails. Then we'd find out for sure. I doubt that the nappy-headed ho was paying for all of her expenses out of her own pocket. She's acting like a negro on the First o' De Monf holiday; spending like a queen at the taxpayers' expense.

    Someone else in history did the same exact thing, and the people caught up with her:

    You are correct to question "unnamed sources."

    That is a tactic perfected by the leftwing media to use against conservatives for many years.

    But when you itemize the first lady's travels for the past year most reasonable people are not going to have any trouble accepting the $10 million estimate.

    Whatever the exact number the point is Obama lecturing the country that we are going to have to sacrifice while Michelle spends, spends, spends.

    She can spend spend spend her own money all she bloody well wants to.


    Reasonable people would not accept any number without proof.
