AnnDe said “let them be normal people”. Really? Normal people send their kids to Mexico for field trips? I guess normal people play golf with Tiger Woods too.

Wow melindam1! Are you typing with your forehead? I like how the liberals who defend Obama can barely string a sentence together. Did you ever take a school field trip to Mexico when you were 13? The Obama’s are worth about 14 million dollars. If they want their daughter to go on a field trip, they should pay the costs associated with her travel and protection, and if they can’t afford it, just do like other Americans and don’t send her. The funny thing is the answer you people use to anything Obama does wrong is “What about Bush?” A lot of the Bush vacation days were days he spent working on his ranch in Crawford, Texas. He still put in a full days work for the America people. Since you like facts, Obama played more golf in his first year than Bush did in 8 years. it’s funny how liberals hate the rich except for their rich. The Obama’s show so much arrogance in the way they rub our noises in the dirt with their displays of wealth and position and you people eat it up like they are your king and queen.

It was a school trip AND spring break vacation. Students volunteered at an orphanage, visited archaeological sites as well as enjoying milkshakes on the town plaza.
LOOK IT UP AT http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/maliamexico.asp
The story disappeared from news sites for SECURITY REASONS.
Can you imagine how many deranged people might like to knock off Pres. Obama’s daughter?
They know our realities also – but give ‘em a break and let them be normal people.
It is not the Obama’s fault that there are enough haters and gun owners around to take precautions. YOU WOULD TOO. And it ain’t as comfy in their shoes as ordinary folks might think!

Some of my co-workers have been reduced to a 4 day work week. 20% pay cut. The military has cut it’s air shows, eliminated tuition, cut many training exercises, ect, ect, ect. And we have to pay for this? I don’t care what you say about “we have to spend for the Secret Service” and “Bush did Blah Blah Blah”. SHE DID NOT HAVE TO GO! If they had any concern about the working Americans affected by sequestration, she would not have went. I will pin this story to the wall at work so the people who are having there pay cut can appreciate their sacrifice.

You people have GOT to be kidding me!!! FIRST of all. ..do ANY of you know what the onoign agreement is between the oress and the White HOuse no matter WHO is President? FO course you dont bcse you all have your noses up FAUX NEWS instead of details on facts. There is an agreement between the mainstream media like Politico and the APM and the like that any information may not be disclosed in detail on the whereabouts of the White House Children withoutthe presence of their parents FOR SECURITY REASONS you morons not bcse of some BIG “cover up”. Now remove your tin foil gats for amoment and listen up! Malia was on a ASCHOOL TRIP ..you know like a field trip ever heard of those with some school mates, this wasnt some la la la Spring break adventure. They were doing volunteer work. Any of you dfo that on your “vacations” as upstanding citizens, yeah didnt think so. Anyway back to the TRUTH… there was an earthquake that hit the area. So a spokesperson for the White House confirmed the safety of Malia and her school group to the press. And boy that just lit a wildfire of speculation among the spinners! What was she doing there? And some right wing nut job got the zany idea that it was some lavish spring break sucking up the American taxpayers dollars right? WRONG!. Let me ask any number of you yahoos…any of you know how many vaca days Bush Jr took while he was President? Any of you know how much money is spent of the tax payers dollars in exopedntiures for secret service security? ESPECIALLY for White House children..AND RIGHTFULLY SO.!! Thats a BIG job withallot of responsibility and it comes with a price of receiving DAILY death threates, so I guaranGodDamn tee you that YOU would want your children under secret servcie care when going on a FIELD TRIP with their school and I Guarantee you that YOU wouldnt wnat their whereabouts splashed across news media outlets either .. SO THATS WHAT YOUR SEEING HERE, THE $$ IS THE $$ THAT WAS SPENT STRICTLY FOR SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION AND THIS WAS A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP GET OVER IT!!! AND MOVE ON TEABILLIES
