This could lead to trouble. It's no wonder that Judicial Watch had to sue to get the information. The White House was unwilling to turn over the documents. Now we know why. Michelle Obama listed her daughters as ‘Senior Staffers’ to justify her expensive African vacation and safari. Now it is time to see if this runs afoul of child labor laws, and to see if the daughters were paid since they are 'Senior Staffers'.
Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has obtained mission expense records and passenger manifests from the United States Air Force related to the June 21-27, 2011, trip taken by First Lady Michelle Obama, her family and her staff to South Africa and Botswana. Judicial Watch obtained the documents pursuant to an August 19, 2011, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Air Force (No. 11-1496)). Judicial Watch is investigating the purpose and itinerary of the trip as well as a breakdown of the costs to taxpayers.
On June 28, 2011, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request seeking the mission taskings, transportation records, and passenger manifests for Michelle Obama’s Africa trip. Documents were only provided after Judicial Watch filed suit:
According to U.S. Department of Defense’s published hourly rates for the C-32A aircraft used for the trip, Judicial Watch calculated the total cost to American taxpayers was $424,142 for use of the aircraft (34.8 flight hours x $12,188 per hour). (The C-32 is a specially configured military version of the Boeing 757.) Other expenses – meals (off the plane), transportation, security, various services, etc. – have yet to be disclosed.
The passenger manifests confirm the presence of Obama’s daughter’s, Malia and Sasha on the trip. The two girls are listed as “Senior Staff.” The manifests also list Mrs. Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, and niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, as well Mrs. Obama’s makeup and hairstylist (Carl Ray and Johnny Wright).
The expense records also show $928.44 was spent for “bulk food” purchases on flight. Overall, during the trip, 192 meals were served for the 21 passengers on board.
Stop it. You're bringing shame and disgrace to your fellow Veteran brothers and sisters. Shame on you.
Michelle Obama Caught Cheating On Her Expense Reports By Putting Sasha And Malia As Her 'Senior Staffers'
Please explain your claim that listing the kids as 'senior staff' on an airplane manifest translates to "cheating on her expenses". If they were listed as 'First Family' the cost would be less? Were you this petty over Laura Bush's overseas trips with her daughters?
There is know telling what those type people of have done in the White House. One thing is for sure, they are fleecing the American taxpayers for their pleasure. Hitler never went on that many vacations as Obama has.
There is no telling...yet you seem to have so much to tell that you really don't know. How does that work? Enlighten me please.
There is know telling what those type people of have done in the White House.
The key phrase here explains it all.
And it's "no telling." I never correct normal people, but you are one of "those type of people" who see themselves as superior to everyone else, so I thought I'd mention it.

Not shocked. Meechelle is just as much a dishonest thug as her husband.
