Nice Michele, I could have used that money I was forced to pay so you could go on a European taxpayer funded vacation. The American people didn't elect her but she sure likes to spend our money.
The Bush family made several trips to Africa while in and out of office. These trips include safaries. The SS continues to front run and accompany the Bush's everywhere they go.
It's less than pocket change in the big picture. Having said this, I would decline to travel oversees if I were First Lady and would probably be criticized for it.
For all those with "big deal", "who cares" and "they all do it" just remember that when they start crying they have no money and need to raise taxes.
dimes dont cause huge increase in debt. and that is what this kind of travel expense is, essentially a dime. and it wont matter if this kind of travel is eliminated or not, the powers that be will still call for increased taxes and spending until the PEOPLE say enough is enough.
Obesity overtook hunger as the number one global health problem.
It's right up there with Laura's HIV and Nancy's "Just Say No".
I think Hillary stayed home and worked on healthcare reform.
Nancy's Just Say No.... no problem Nancy, I work and don't have time to do drugs,
Laura's HIV... No problem, I don't do needles, and don't spend money on drugs,
Michele's .... Obesity, no problem Michele, I don't sit on my butt all day long and I don't gorge.
Tax payer funded Drugs and Food.... Maybe if they would work they wouldn't have such a BIG problem.
...reduced to whimpering about vacation times again.
Don't let facts get in the way of a nice little whinefest, fellas!
