you all act like we arent in debt and its just a must have for Michelle to fly around with Obama and Michelle and the Girls stay behind for a shopping spree so we can pay for their own trip back.

I am sure Putin is impressed that his daughters are there or cares

If they want the girls to go to Russia pay for it just like we have to pay for our own trips.
Actually, the Russians were delighted to see Obama's family. They are particulary interested in Sasha, because her name is so evocative in Russian.

Yeah, keep those kids separated from their parents.
In fact, we should probably just cage them for the duration.

Yeah, a house that was probably built at the taxpayers’ expense!

The BRAD BLOG : EXCLUSIVE: PALIN RESIGNATION 'DAMAGE CONTROL' FOR COMING 'ICEBERG SCANDAL' ... MORE: EMBEZZLEMENT INDICTMENTS COMING?

BYW, GWB took more vacations than any other President. Did you know that? Judging from your thread here, I bet that news inferiorities you!

Questionable travel is nearly as old as politics itself. So it's OK on the left, but not on the right?

Personally, I don't care about Obama's kids...but when grandma, aunts, uncles, third cousins, and 7th great uncles get a free ride on my tax dollars, then I get rightfully pissed off.
You don't think Airforce One had room for two children. Did not Palin charge her childrens' plane tickets to Alaska?

Their current summer vacation includes sightseeing in Russia, Italy and Ghana.

I thought he moved her family in the white house so she could baby sit? Why are we footing this bill now? Wasn't just a few weeks ago that they were all jetting around Paris and England on "Michelle One" shopping, sight seeing and eating Fish and Chips?

I wonder what offical business that was about? Obammyhad already left on Air Force One. So it was just the free loading family jetting around.

I couldn't agree with you more! Talk about taking advantage of a situation and tax payers' money....and talk about exploitation of one's children ("parading them around" as Sarah Palin supposedly did! What a double standard some people have when they think anything Obama does is right, cool, acceptable, etc. but let a member of the Repub. party do the same thing and it is criminal, wrong, and unacceptable.

I'm sure some of the impoverished children in this country would like a vacation like the Obama girls are getting....oh wait, if he robs from the rich to give to the poor, maybe all of them will get international jet set trips in the near future.

I have to laugh at some of you idiots on here. All presidents in the past have taken family members with them on foreign trips including a bunch of flaking reporters. Now that President Obama is following suit, you want to ***** and complain?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ahahahahah

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sarah Palin isn't governor anymore so you need to find another person to pick on.

She is until July 26..She gave her 2 week notice the other day.

I've been looking for the thread bashing Palin for trolling around New York with her daughter on Alaska's dime but I can't seem to find it...
