When you are the greatest President since FDR the country loves to see you go on frequent and expensive vacations with your family, friends and children. I understand Bill Ayres will be there tossing cherry bombs and Bernadette will be sacrificing a commoner's dog by the campfire.

I must have missed something. I don't remember any of the Carter kids, Reagan kids, Chelsea or the Bush twins taking 2 week trips to Paris and London accompanied by a full White House entourage, nor any other "vacation" in the U.S. with the taxpayers picking up the tab.

Didn't Sarah Palin recently reimburse the State of Alaska for the cost/value of air travel her kids had the benefit of? Why shouldn't the Obamas have to reimburse the treasury for the value of air travel that benefits Michelle and the kids?

You probably don't remember a First Lady with a cast of thousands hanging on her every word either.

Well, many not thousands, but way too many and at way too high a cost.

I mean, really, the only thing she's done is plant a friggin'
garden and get taken on too expensive dates. She doesn't need a staff of 20 plus their underlings. It's ridiculous.
