Moo-chelle Obama

Perfectlap, I did some quick math and SS recipients would have to live to well past 107 years old to get out all the cash they put into the program. Now Medicare might be a different animal, but SS is not going well because the fund's been robbed from repeatedly by Congress through the years.

Am I not correct on this?

BTW, In the worst recession since the great depression, one would think the First Lady would curtail her overseas travel to show the country she's cutting back like the rest of us are FORCED to do.

[Disclaimer: I dislike both parties in our two-party system with a vengeance so don't think my Obama bashing means I'm a tea party backer. Every seated congressman should be forced out of office next November. I'm all for what GOOOH | Get Out of Our House: A non-partisan plan to elect citizen representatives! is attempting to do.]

Personal vacation expenses are borne by the family, not the country. Just like meals and other personal expenses. If you'ld like to throw blame around, blame a do-nothing Congress. They're the ones who authorize all government spending. The trillion or more that President B expensed for the unnecessary wars hasn't helped either. If you want to keep it "real", keep our jobs, manufacturing, troops and aid home where it belongs.

Steve, I can assure you that the Obamas did not pay for Airforce One, all the fuel, the pilots, the secret security detail, and so forth for her global galavanting.
