Apparently our pathetic waste-of-skin first lady, Moochelle Obummer "has been looking for an opportunity to go to China," or so said some nameless and faceless White House official this past Monday. And she also considers it to be a "real treat" to have the taxpayers cheerfully standing by to pick up that tab allowing her daughters, as well as her mother, to tag along with her. And it should come as no surprise that the White House has been less than forthcoming regarding the exact dollar amount that will be expected to be picked up by we the taxpayers.
"You know, the first lady has talked about the importance of young people here in the United States learning about other cultures. She believes that about her own children, and has seen this as a really unique opportunity to share a very different part of the world with her two daughters and with her mother as well," Mochelle's Chief of Staff told a conference call on Monday. Well, idn’t nat nice. And what better time than now to do that while she has the taxpayers there to pick up the tab for it all. We should all be so lucky as to have someone else pay for our vacations.
Moochelle’s Chief of Staff, some bimbo by the name of Tina Tchen, went on to say, "I think, as she said before, before they came here to the White House, Mrs. Robinson had not done any travel internationally, so the opportunities when she's been able to do that have been a real treat, I think, for Mrs. Robinson, for the first lady, for her daughters as well to travel together and to see these places and experience them together." Ok, that’s fine, it matters little to me if she wants to take her kids somewhere, but let her pay for it instead of forcing me to!
And when asked just how much this little trip will cost us, some boob named Ben Rhodes replied, "As a general matter, we don't disclose the details associated with the security of either the president or the first lady. This question comes up on many trips. What I would say is that determinations about the protection of the President and first lady are made by the Secret Service. We don't interfere in those decisions at all, nor do we publicize the details of that information." Yes, more from what was supposed to the most transparent administration in history.
Asked if Barry and Moochelle will bother to reimburse the U.S. government (taxpayers) for the cost of having the children and grandmother tag along, Tchen also refused to answer: "We are not discussing or disclosing information regarding the details or the logistics of the trip." Now come on, these two view themselves as being nothing less than America’s royal family, and as such they aren’t about to be bothered with such trivial details as actually paying for anything. After all, we are talking about the first black president, that must be worth something.
As has been previously reported by a number of outlets, travel by an American first lady typically includes the military passenger jet that carries her and the children, Secret Service personnel to provide security, and a separate cargo plane to haul official vehicles. Moochelle and family leave Washington on Wednesday, flying first to Beijing, where they'll visit Red China's first lady. Then it's on to Xi'an, where the famous terra cotta warriors are located; and finally to Chengdu in Sichuan province, where Moochelle will speak to high school students.
And then I guess in what was some sort of attempt to justify this very costly boondoggle, Tchen said, "And she'll be able to share her experience with Americans," noting that PBS and its "network of millions of teachers and students" will be following Moochelle’s trip: "And the first lady will be posting blogs and travel information for each step of the trip along the way on whitehouse.gov. And we encourage young people and all Americans to follow along and learn more about China through the first lady's trip." And, so they can see how a real mooch operates.
Rhodes told the conference call that Moochelle's visit to Red China will "focus on people-to-people relations" as well as education and "youth empowerment." He noted that Moochelle had planned the trip long before the Dalai Lama visited Barry "Almighty" at the White House, so her trip was not planned to soften Red China's anger over that event. "This type of visit takes a long time to plan, and I think the First Lady has been looking for an opportunity to go to China," Rhodes said. Well whooptee-fuckin-doo. Let her pay for it!
Frankly, I’m getting really sick and tired of paying for this family’s endless multi-million dollar excursions! I’d like to be able to take my family on vacation as well, but unfortunately what money I make goes to cover the cost of my gas, food and lodging all of which have increased rather dramatically in cost since Moochelle’s spouse first came diddy-bopping into the Oval Office. We, the taxpayers, have now spent well over $1 Billion on these costly little jaunts taken by our corrupt first family. And enough is enough!
