TPN: Leaving on a jet plane

[Patricia M. McBride]

This is from our friends over at Tea Party Nation and from their leader Judson Phillips.  It will make your blood boil that so many are out of work. and Queen Michele is going off on another expensive lark to the olympics with a rather largish group including daughters and Mother.

...............................................................

Warm up the plane.  Someone is traveling again.  Despite all of the left’s whining about global warming, fossil fuels and the treatment afforded the so-called 1%, there is not a word from the left about this.

Who is getting on the plane, where are they going and why is it an outrage?

Michelle Obama is heading to London for the Olympics.  You remember her don’t you?  She was never proud of her country until she had a luxury Air Force jet at her disposal to fly her around the world at taxpayer expense.

While Americans have suffered under the Great Obama Depression, she has taken luxury vacations.  Who can forget her trip to the six start Spanish resort in 2009?  That one cost millions, including the tab for her security detail.   That trip is now costing even more money because the Obama Regime will not release cost details about the trip to Judicial Watch.  Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request, which the Regime simply ignored.

Now they are having to defend the law suit that Judicial Watch filed.

In 2010, Michelle Obama, her daughters and mother, along with some other friends took the taxpayers for a ride when they flew to Africa for a luxury safari.  At the last minute, a few official events were thrown in to make the trip seem a little more than an all expense paid vacation.

A lot of Americans would like to go to the Olympics in London but unfortunately most Americans’ net worth has dropped 40% during her husband’s term.

The Regime has gotten a little smarter on this issue.  Michelle Obama is going to be leading an American delegation to the Olympic games.

Excuse me?

Can we say this is a very thinly veiled excuse for another all expense paid vacation for Queen Michelle, paid for by hard working Americans?

America does have a delegation to the Olympic Games.  It is called the America Olympic Team.

So Michelle Obama is going to go to Britain for the Olympics.  She is going to stay in a magnificent hotel somewhere.  Neither she nor her multi-millionaire husband will have to pay a dime for their trip.    She will wander around the Olympic venues pulling the media away from the American Olympians who have trained their entire lives for this moment and who deserve the attention of the media.

Perhaps while she is there, she can ask the Olympians to put the medals they win on EBay and contribute the sales price to the Obama reelection campaign.

While I am no fan of Mitt Romney, I will be glad to see the day when he is in the White House and Michelle Obama has to start paying for her own vacations.
