Inside story of Michelle's trip
« on: August 09, 2010, 09:44:09 AM »
The interesting part of this spin job is not the story but the comments in the Chicago Sun Times

Quote
First lady took Spain vacation with 'a dear friend' whose father recently died


August 9, 2010
BY LYNN SWEET Sun-Times Columnist

WASHINGTON--Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha returned from Spain on Sunday, a vacation at a lavish hotel on the Mediterranean coast that triggered her first controversy since becoming first lady. I'm told she made the trip because she promised one of her closest friends, a longtime Chicago pal who just lost her father, she would spend time with her.

Mrs. Obama is the most popular figure in the Obama orbit -- and turned around her image from the 2008 presidential campaign by adamantly staying away from any kind of controversy, focusing on safe issues: combatting childhood obesity and helping military families. ...

Ms Sweet, along with other Chicago scum, is trying to spread more b.s. to those of us out here who just 'don't get it'. We don't get it that the queen wasn't entitled to take a friend on an expensive vacation just because she had lost a loved one. Come on, Ms Sweet, surely you can come up with something more believable than that. She's selling but I AIN'T BUYING!!!!

I know that public schools are very reluctant to teach actual history anymore without portraying our Founding Fathers as truly evil men. But, didn't we finally decide we didn't want to be under the thumb of British Royalty anymore? I think there might have even been a war caused by this belief. And then there was that whole taxation without representation issue too.

Seems to me that former Neighborhood Organizer turned King missed those lessons at Oxidine, Columbia and Harvard Law. Of course it's hard to say that for sure since, we the taxpayers have been slapped with a couple of million in legal fees to make sure we no nothing of the King's education.

The administration and co-conspirators such as Ms. Sweet are just feeding us lies. The Obamas feel they can do whatever they want. They have the keys to the castle, they believe they own it, deserve it!

That's the sick mentality we are faced with. They're just a part of the entitlement crowd.

The Obamas are  none too popular in Chicago it seems.  :-)

This is just a cover story to make Michelle look less imperious.  I've also heard this weekend that her trip was at the invitation of the Spanish government that was extended to her last year, but she just now found the time to go.

I love the spin that "Beltway Bob" tries to put on it; private trip, blah blah blah, Bush's fault, blah blah blah...

Although I've never been a Democrat - Mrs. "O", you're no Jackie "O" - and you never will be.

According to the story the funeral she missed was at the beginning of July a poster at HotAir has tracked down the July schedule of Michelle Obama which caused her to miss the funeral.

Quote
The summer started with a Memorial Day weekend trip to Chicago; the family went to the Camp David presidential retreat before July 4; they weekended in Maine, sightseeing in Acadia National Park, departing on July 16 and returning Sunday afternoon July 18. Mrs. Obama took her daughters and her mom, Marian Robinson, to Los Angeles in June. In March, over spring break, Mrs. Obama with her daughters, mom and some pals hit New York for a round of Broadway shows.
