Michelle Obama's Africa Vacation Cost More Than $432,142...Daughters listed as 'senior staff'... (racist, leader)

Nary a peep from these haters when previous First Ladies traveled to foreign countries on govt planes, took their children with them, and conducted official WH business despite having not been elected.

And we know why.

Why is because it would be embarassing to the right to learn that Laura, et al did the same thing. There are plenty of examples in the other thread about this, the one that hurled the accusations. Go look.

You know, something I don't get is why concepts such as the First Lady traveling somewhere on a business trip and taking her family is so foreign to so many RWs. Obviously, you guys never followed politics before Obama was inaugurated. This stuff has been going on for decades, at least.

You seriously think that Laura and Barbara Bush never spent a cent or traveled anywhere on taxpayer-funded transportation when their husbands were in the Oval Office? Get real.

I don't care how any First Lady spends her own money - I am more worried about how she is spending ours

Perhaps you should answer this question then:

Although ignored by most of America’s liberal-dominated media, several online US news sites are reporting that Michelle Obama’s grand tour of southern Africa earlier this year cost American taxpayers nearly half a million dollars – and that's just for the flights..... we do now know for sure that her visit to Africa in June, with a sizeable entourage in tow, cost taxpayers at the very minimum $424,142 in transportation costs, according to figures obtained by Washington-based watchdog Judicial Watch

How much more money is this admin is going to waste??

And for the Fourth day in a row! Is this a new record? Can we extend it to five days? Will there be another thread about the same thing tomorrow? Tune to find out! Same Bat-time, Same Bat-Channel!

and like a broken record, please show us the trip expenditures for the previous presidents and their families (Bush? clinton? Bush? Reagan?)
