When the list of Laura Bush staff was made public in the Washington Post, the Democrats and Liberals went bonkers.

So will you agree that it's just as irrational to go "bonkers" over Michelle Obama's staff?

[groar]

i don't recall going bonkers, or even hearing about it.

i guess that's cause i'm a leftist, not a liberal or a dem?

but seriously, this "you did it so we did it so you did it so we did it so you did it so we did it" 5th grade logic nonsense is getting VERY old.

"Nancy Reagan had a staff of at least 35."

Was there a Great Recession during that administration?

so she was allowed to waste taxpayer money (according to your logic) because the economy was good?

while the reagan administration was running up record deficits?

face it, you only hold things against the obamas because they're the obamas. it's massively hypocritical. and sort of pathetic.

i'm all for criticizing the president's policies if you disagree with them, but as i've said in other threads, outright lying, complaining about things that are standard practice, trying to make every little detail of the obamas' lives into a huge issue, and hugely hyperbolizing (senior citizen euthanasia anyone?) just makes your side look nuts.

No one here going bonkers.

Oh just stop, will you?

But since you brought it up, there was, in fact, a significant recession in the early 1980s.

By the way, I think most people find blind partisanship to be very unappealing.
