Barack Obama’s Mutual Sacrifice & Fairness … First Lady Michelle’s Ski Trip Marks 16 Obama Vacation

FAIRNESS MR. PRESIDENT? AMERICA, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A VACATION … BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA.

President Barack Obama talks of class warfare,  the 1% vs. the 99%, and fairness. However, Michelle Obama’s ski trip to Aspen, CO marks the 16th Obama vacation. Just curious America, how many of you have taken 16 vacations in the last three years? President Obama, you like to talk of fairness … is it fair that you and yours take 16 vacations on the tax payers dime when most not only have not taken 16 vacations, many have not even taken 16 days. That is if they are lucky enough to be employed.Granted former President GWB took many vacation days as well’ however, they were mostly “staycations” on his ranch in Crawford, TX.

First lady Michelle Obama’s weekend jaunt to Aspen, Colorado for a President’s Day ski holiday with her daughters Sasha and Malia makes the 16th time members of the first family have gone on extended vacations during their three years in office.

But his have become more controversial because of the costs associated with moving the first family to a public vacation spot, unlike the Bushes to their remote ranch in Crawford, Texas. For example, the Hawaii Reporter said the first family’s 2011 Christmas vacation in Hawaii would exceed $1.5 million.

Critics and even some in his own party say the vacations present a bad image at a time when many Americans are struggling to get by during the recession. According to recent Harris poll, only three in 10 said they plan to take a vacation lasting longer than a week in the next six months, and that number has been dropping during the recession as people worry about the costs of vacations. Other polls have found that less than half of all Americans take all the vacation time they earn because they can’t afford trips.

Check out Obama’s Vacation List HERE. Honestly, how out of touch is Barack and Michelle Obama? Who in their right mind takes an Aspen vacation after already having just been on a  17 day trip to Hawaii that cost taxpayers $4 million. How do these people claim a populist campaign with a straight face? They talk of the evil 1% … if you have not figured it out, Barack and Michelle are the 1%. You might want to remember this lack of empathy in the 2012 Presidential election when casting your vote.

It’s good to be King & Queen … Hope and Change, eh?

More Lack of Shared Sacrifice from Michelle Obama … Heads Off to Ski in Aspen with the 1%

Michelle Obama … let them eat “fairness”.

Where is the MSM asking the question to Barack Obama, is it fair that you and your family continually take vacations on the tax payers dime when they cannot afford to? Is it fair that Michelle Obama goes skiing in Aspen? Is it fair that Obama nor Michelle provide no shared sacrifice, yet the President constantly asks for others to do so.

First Lady Michelle Obama once again she cares little about shared sacrifice and fairness. That is just political rhetoric and class warfare used by her husband Barack Obama to divide America. Queen Michelle heads off to Aspen, Colorado with her daughters to ski and hand out with the 1%. What an absolute joke that her hubby Barack espouses that he is the defender of the middle class and the poor when this President, his wife and first family continually live “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”.

Michelle Obama has embarked on a skiing vacation with her daughters in Aspen, Colorado, according to the Aspen Daily News.

The first lady, who just returned last month from 17 days of relaxation in Hawaii, is skiing in Colorado on Presidents’ Day Weekend for the second year in a row. Last year she went to Vail.

Michelle’s decision to ski out West again instead of hitting slopes closer to Washington would seem an inopportune choice for a first lady who is helping her husband campaign on issues of “fairness.”

The Obama campaign has set itself up as the defender of the poor and the middle class against the “One Percent,” a theme which clashes with the image a first lady who is taking frequent and exclusive vacations.

Barack Obama says that every one is going to have to sacrifice and have skin in the game. With all due respect Mr. President, exactly what skin do you or Michelle have in the game? What have either of you sacrificed?

As the Lonely Conservative states, what a shocker that the First Lady wants to keep this vacation low key and below the radar. What a joke. Barack and Michelle Obama might be the biggest hypocrites that have ever “dis”graced the White House.

Honestly, how can any fool think that these people speak for them? Barack and Michelle Obama are the 1% and they enjoy hobnobbing with them in places like Aspen and Martha’s Vineyard. Get a clue America. As the Gateway Pundit reminds us, didn’t these folks just go on a vacation to Hawaii?  There is nothing populist about either one of these two, they just like keeping individuals are each others throats with class warfare as a diversion to what they do and believe in.

Mr. President, is it fair that Michelle Obama and your kids get to go to Aspen while 99.9% of Americans cannot?

First Lady Michelle Obama Gets Booed at NASCAR Ford 400 Race in Florida

Like we did not call this one last week when we learned that First Lady Michelle Obama was going to be co-Grand Marshall of the Ford 400, the finale NASCAR race of the season at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Michelle Obama was noticeably booed by NASCAR fans at the Ford 400. Nice try libs at ABC News, please do not lie.  It was not the “nation’s polarized political climate” that resulted in the NASCAR fans to boo Michelle Obama. It was her arrogant, elitist, dismissive husband Barack Obama who is to blame who suddenly thinks its ok to send his wife off to pander for the NASCAR vote after stated that those similar were, “bitter,” distrustful have-nots who “cling to guns or religion.”

First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden were grand marshals at today’s NASCAR season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, appearing as part of their charitable campaign to support military veterans and their families.

But their benign, bipartisan cause wasn’t enough to prevent public fallout from the nation’s polarized political climate as they were introduced before the crowd.

ESPN video from the event documented loud boos from some in the stands as the announcer named Obama and Biden, seconds before they delivered the “most famous words in motorsports,” telling drivers to start their engines.

But wait, the liberal media carrying the water for President gets better, or worse as the case may be for journalistic integrity. The AP reported that Michelle Obama was not booed, instead the First Lady and Dr. Biden did receive a standing ovation at a pre-race driver’s meeting, much more in keeping with the spirit of the occasion. REALLY? Watch the VIDEO at Mediaite and hear for yourself. Sorry, but it was Sgt. Berry and the US military Veterans in the crowd that were cheered, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed.

With all due respect to Obama and his reelection minions, you are not getting the NASCAR vote and your pathetic cheap attempts of pandering will accomplish nothing. Please stop playing politics with our military, if you feel the need to pander for votes, head off to San Fransisco or maybe Occupy Wall Street.

Michelle Obama to serve as Grand Marshal NASCAR Ford 400 in Swing State of Florida

Good grief, first lady Michelle Obama to serve as Grand Marshall of the NASCAR season ending Ford 400 at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida.Talk about your photo-ops and pander for votes. Give it up Michelle, NASCAR is not voting for your Obama in 2012.

The NASCAR appearance is billed as part of the first lady’s “Joining Forces” initiative for military families, and Mrs. Obama’s Joining Forces co-chair, “Second Lady” Dr. Jill Biden, will also serve as Grand Marshal.

The Ford 400 is held at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Florida is perhaps the most critical presidential battleground state in the country.

But Mrs. Obama’s presence at one of the biggest NASCAR events of the year will surely be noticed throughout the region where the sport if popular, which includes many other critical swing states like Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri and Missouri.

Indeed, the “NASCAR vote” has taken a place alongside “soccer moms” as a coveted demographic for presidential candidates.

As Weasel Zippers says, who knew that Michelle would be pandering the NASCAR vote, who as Barack Obama stated were, “bitter,” distrustful have-nots who “cling to guns or religion.” Why am I thinking there will be some booing going on at the start of the race?

More Shared Sacrifice from First Lady Michelle Obama … Wears $42,000 Katie Decker Diamond Cuffs … Let Them Eat Cake

Michelle Obama just doesn’t get it or she just doesn’t care … more from the First Lady of Obama’s shared sacrifice. It really is an Obamanation.

First Lady Michelle Obama sports $42,150 Katie Decker diamond cuffs.  Does Michelle get the fact that she is the first lady of the United States where there is an unemployment rate over 9% and millions of Americans are out of work and not a jet-setting fashion model? Obviously not. Is this the image that Michelle Obama really wants to present to “We the People”?  Sorry, but no matter what party is in office, with an economic situation like what is taking place in the US, no first lady should be dressing so lavishly as if she thinks she is Marie Antoinette

The Obama empathy of the unemployed, out of work and food stamp recipients

That was no ordinary bling on the wrist of First Lady Michelle Obama at the DNC fundraiser in New York Tuesday night. Those fancy diamond cuffs were the creation of 23-year-old Katie Decker, whose namesake jewelry line has been making a serious splash since her graduation from Texas A&M two years ago.

If you’ve been saving your nickels and dimes, the cuffs are available locally at Judith Ann Jewels. The First Lady wore Katie’s Lotus cuff priced at $15,000 with 2.9 carats of diamonds, her Gothic cuff at $15,350 with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 with 1.73 carats in diamonds.

Should we expect anything any different from the wife of the “Middle class” warrior. These two might as well live it up while they can, get all the perks, vacations and golf out of their present situation, because as of the 2012 election, Barack Obama will be added to the first time filers of unemployment benefits.
