The Commander in Chief (President Obama) is spending your borrowed debt money and making memories.

Since when do 13 year old girls go to Mexico for Spring Break without their Parents along? Daughter of the President aside; that we the taxpayers are picking up the tab? This has GOT TO BE the crown jewel in the Imperial Presidency of Barack and Michelle! Some real classy PARENTS we have there folks; let's send them back to Chicago where they can't hurt the rest of us any more than they already have. Do we need a better reason that this one to make this a one term affair? You were probably not aware because the news media has not and will not report this; but that's another subject. Obama's 8th grade, 13 year old daughter, took a few of her girl classmates on spring break to Mexico; and oh; almost forgot the best part; with 25 secret servicemen. Estimated cost of this spring break trip- $2.5 million! Doesn't that give you a warm and fuzzy feeling that your tax dollars are being spent so wisely? Does this really surprise anyone?

AND YOU SAY, "SURELY THIS CAN'T BE TRUE."http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/maliamexico.asp

But remember, its only a drop in the bucket in the National Debt.

"Buy American" You think they would spend the dollars on the home front.

Did you actually read this Snopes article???

snopes.com: Malia Obama in Mexico

Do some research on Presidential families and their travel over the past 6 US Presidents or so. I remember that FDR used to have a Navy crusier that took him around. USS Houston (CA-30) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bush Spent 5 Times More On Flights To Texas Than Obama

I was waiting for the Obama lovers to chime in. Right on schedule. You guys never fail us. We love you. But you got to get off the blame someone for doing something. With the national debt, currently facing us, travel of this type needs to be curtailed.

But its OK, just send him a few more of your bucks to help pay this off and you will twice as happy as you are now.

And what do you see the GOP candidate doing? The price of using Air Force One is skyrocking. That would apply to any President taking office in the future unless the price of gas starts going down.

Talking about diverting the subject.

The issue, was sending a 13yr with classmates, to Mexico, Which the government had just put out a travel advisory to all college spring break travelers, and using 25 secret service, at tax payers expense to do it.

This administration just can't seem to grasp or care about this spending.

The family just comes back from a month in Hawaii....and then
Michele scoots out to Aspen, for a little more R&R.....and then
Michele scoots out to Vegas.

TONE DEAF!

Read the Snopes article. The travel advisory did not cover the area where the kid went to in Mexico. Again what would the GOP do differently? You expect the Romneys not to do the same??? If Romney becomes President he would need to use Air Force One and with the price of gas....

Check Bush's travel expenses while you are at it.

Isn't envy one of the 7 deadly sins?

when all the partisan defending settles down it should be obvious. No different than a business executive running a company that is not in good financial health, where expenses must be cut to meet revenues (BALANCE!!!) there would be restrictions on the "normal" lifestyles of all who work at that company including the executives

Obama is supposed to be the chief executive of the USA. His country is in serious financial straights and all he and congress do is give the debt lip service. They certainly have not, do no change their life style one iota to either acknowledge there is no money without borrowing it of printing more.
But that does not seem to matter.

By sending and spending to send his kids on a Mexico holiday is wrong no matter who one is..R, D, white, black or what ever religion...

The Obama's really believe they are royalty. They believe they are free to tell we the people and the rest of the world what we should and should not do and then by their personal actions on specific subjects/issues publicly demonstrate their words do not apply to them.

The real impact of their lavish life style as leaders of an entity in financial distress underscores they DO NOT CARE.

They are consistent in the ongoing espousing one thing and doing another.

Who ever did what ever in the past is no justification of the current environment. The Obama's demonstrate they do not care.

btk

Figmo-ooooo; don't you know the Obama's can do no wrong? Don't you know that they deserve every dime they withdraw from the Treasury for their own fun?

It's not like he's god-awful GW Bush or anything. Now Bush, he would get into a world of trouble just taking a trip to relax at his own ranch. What a loser.

I think Michelle said it best...."Let them eat cake!!"

So now we're guilty of "envy" for being upset by the President and his family going hog wild with our money?

As Art Linkletter would say; "Liberals say the darndest things"

I, for one, have no problem with The Commander-In-Chief's family traveling on the public's dime.

Just like I had no problem with Junior's girl's jetting up to NYC (accompanied by a slew of Secret Service agents, of course) to go drinking in NYC.

Bush's girls didn't travel on Air Force jets for their social life. A couple of necessary bodyguards do not qualify as a "slew". The Bush family didn't jet-set around the world like potentates, like the Obama's do. Your analogy is nonsense.

Coralway,

Obviously, you just do not understand. The trip to Mexico is just for fun. The Bush twins trip to New York was for educational purposes. They were doing a paper on how much alcohol can be absorbed by the human liver in any specific time span.

You used to write interesting posts, but now you're just a bad comedian. It's not an improvement.
