I'm glad the Obama child is there with a well armed army.
The people of Mexico need the right to bare arms so they can kill all the gangs and Narcos.
Nah...they should just legalize dope and be done with it. They wanted to do it a long time ago, but our dopey politicians convinced them to stay on the same stupid road that we're bound and determined to stay on.

More negro news? This is absolutely the most asinine post I've ever seen on C-D or any other forum. Considering the source it does not come as a surprise.

Hint: this is the POTUS. Anything and everything about him makes the news.

The Obamas really are out of touch with what's going on with normal Americans, aren't they?

Going to Mexico for spring break is out of touch with normal Americans?

Since when?

Well, let's see. I work 50 hour weeks to take care of my family and pay exorbitant taxes so people like you can work posh government contracting jobs with luxurious benefits. And to fund the social welfare state that you want to assuage your guilty conscience at not doing any individual charity work.

Nobody in my family is going to Mexico for a weeklong vacation.

Resort Areas and Spring Break: Over 3 million U.S. citizens travel to Cancun and other Mexican beach resorts each year, including as many as 120,000 during "spring break" season, which normally begins in mid-February and runs about two months.

Mexico

YOU may not, but LOTS of Americans do.

Meh, i'm not impressed with the whole 50 hour week thing. That's your business. Work less and enjoy life more. I didn't tell you to get overextended to the point that you have to become a slave to your possessions. Sell all that crap you own and work less hours.

Secondly, my benefits at work pretty much suck. The wages are good enough, but nothing to brag enough (surprise!!! A C-D poster that admits that he isn't rich...a rarity around here) and my job is far from posh. Hell, i don't even like the job myself, i'm just too lazy at the moment to look for something else.

Thirdly, guilt is a word that barely in my vocab. I feel guilty about nothing. Not going to discuss anything i do with charity (just like you shouldn't because you don't do anything either)....i believe in the social welfare safety net solely because it's what humane people do. I can afford the taxes. If you can't, that's your problem.

Lastly, a weeklong vacation in Mexico is pretty cheap for the most part. I can do it for a ridiculously cheap price if i chose to do so. Besides, it's pretty close to me anyway. If you can't afford it, or can't bear to tear yourself away from your job...that's not my problem. Maybe you shouldn't be so dedicated to your employer....after all, when you're gone, they'll just put another mustache in that position and forget that you were ever there in the first place. You're not that important.

Soooooo.....you know...
