and would rather buy it from countries that require shipping over our oceans - rather than solid ground where a spill could be quickly contained and repaired. How does odumbo envision Brazilian oil gets to the USA?

Michelle Obama Listed Daughters Malia and Sasha as “Senior Staffers” for $432,142 African Trip by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 thegatewaypundit.com Michelle Obama listed daughters Malia and Sasha as “senior staffers” to justify her $432,142 getaway to Africa.

Also pictured, left to right, daughters Malia and Sasha Obama, niece Leslie Robinson, nephew Avery Robinson. ( AP/Charles Dharapak, Pool) Washington Whispers reported on the African trip. First lady Michelle Obama’s family trip to South Africa and Botswana in June cost taxpayers well over $424,000, according to new accounting based on Air Force manifests obtained by Judicial Watch, a taxpayer watchdog group. The use of Air Force aircraft alone for the June 21-27 trip cost $424,142, said the group, and that doesn’t include the food, lodging, and ground transportation for the 21 family and staff members. The daughters were listed as senior staff. Defend this fraud, liberal media. We’re waiting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Midnight Rider commented: Yeah it’s called fraud. commieblaster.com Patty commented: 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). just-saying commented: So, are the girls paying IRS for the funds they received as senior staffers? Did the other relatives also receive funds that should be taxed? . #12 October 4, 2011 at 3:47 pm patman commented: I actually feel sorry for those girls. Having to unconditionally love a wookie and a fraud must be very difficult. #13 October 4, 2011 at 3:48 pm Steven commented: This cronyism and corruption is what is leading to the demise of our country–it’s bipartisan and runs rampant throughout all branches of our government. Consider also what just happened in a federal court in Texas. A Dallas business owner was involved in a civil dispute and paid millions of dollars to lawyers, and when he objected to their fees, they had a “friendly” judge seize all of his property, without any notice or hearing, and essentially ordered him to be an involuntary servant to the lawyers. The business owner has been under this “servant” order for 10 months and is prohibited from owning any possessions, prohibited from working, etc… lawinjustice.com has details about this disturbing case #14 October 4, 2011 at 3:48 pm tj commented: I thought overseas travel of relatives that is reimbursed by an employer is considered a taxable benefit by the IRS. I thought companies have to “plus up” to pay those additional taxes or else the employee incurs a substantial tax burden. Have the Obama’s done this before? Are they cheating on their taxes? #15 October 4, 2011 at 3:48 pm MrGoodWench commented: The daughters were listed as senior staff. ++++ and they are listed as dependents on Oscama’s tax returns . So what are they ? Dependents or senior staff ?
