Spring Break with the Obama's



Audacity is a word associated with Barack Obama. His book was entitled The Audacity of Hope. Perhaps a more apt title would have been The Audacity of Traveling on the Taxpayers' Dime. While the White House is still closed to school children and air traffic controllers are being laid off and illegal immigrant prisoners are being released, Obama’s family is partying on the beach in the Bahamas followed by skiing in Aspen. When a Colorado television station caught Obama’s little darlings on the slopes surrounded by an entourage of 20 secret service, Obama demanded the station remove the clip from its station website…and these jack asses complied. Really?

Now you need to try to understand. Can you say H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E? We are now approaching $17 trillion in debt, borrowing between 30 – 40 cents of every dollar that is spent, and we are now paying for ANOTHER vacation for Obama’s brood. And not just one place…but two…one warm and the other cold! When was the last time you spent Monday Tues and Wednesday in the Bahamas and Thursday and Friday in Colorado skiing? Even Joe Biden got into the act with a $500,000.00 night in Paris and he's on vacation again this week.

Barack Obama has done an outstanding job of hiding his children and wife from view as they travel around the world at your expense. How many of you actually know the name of his children? That is how tight lipped the press has been about the comings and goings of Obama’s family. It made sense to me that he would want to protect his children’s privacy…but something is askew.

The heightened awareness of spending since the sequester has brought new and deserved scrutiny as to how the Obama family is spending our money. Malia will be 15 in July and Sasha is 12. Sending these kids on back to back vacations in the Bahamas and Aspen ought to be enough to bring them into the limelight. They aren’t in pre-school anymore. No, it is not their doing and they probably are blissfully unaware of the issues at hand.

On the other hand, Barack Obama has deliberately and vindictively made the decrease in the increase in spending as hard on the public as is possible as he throws his tantrum. Here’s an idea, Mr. President, how about a vacation on the Jersey shore?  When were the last time any of you reading this rant have been to the Bahamas and then to Aspen?  My family got a bus ticket to Niles and the Eastwood Mall for our vacation.

The hypocrisy of what I am seeing takes my breath away. The fact that the press is letting them get away with it is downright shameful. It’s time for the Obama Zombies to wake up. He has pulled the wool over your eyes, and the best is yet to come next year. Our economy grew .04% last month. We have 48 million people on food stamps. Those on disability are at an all time high and those participating in the labor force are at an all time low. In the middle of this mess, HHS is running ads in Mexico touting America’s food stamp program as illegal alien felons are released from custody. Why?  They are coming on vacation to the United States to test the waters.

But never fear….Sasha and Malia are vacationing at Atlantis in the Bahamas and Sun Valley in Colorado.  The world is safe for Democracy.
