But
Mrs BHO added two jobs last year
Nearly $500K to send Michelle, family to Africa
Michelle Obama Listed Daughters Malia and Sasha as “Senior Staffers” for $432,142 African Trip
First Lady Michelle Obama's June 21-27 trip to Africa cost taxpayers nearly half-a-million dollars, according to official documents obtained by Judicial Watch.
How much does it cost taxpayers to fly First Lady Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her mother, a niece and a nephew, a hairstylist and makeup artists to South Africa and Botswana to give a few speeches, meet Nelson Mandela, and enjoy a safari on a private game preserve?
Nearly half a million dollars, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) concerning Obama's June 21-27 journey.
Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 - a Boeing 757 modified by the military for the purpose of flying big-wigs around the world - to fly the First Lady and her entourage to and from Africa, at a cost of $424,142. Another $928.44 was listed as the cost of providing 192 meals for the 21 people who made the trip
The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as "senior staff."
“This trip was as much an opportunity for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a trip to conduct government business,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This junket wasted tax dollars and the resources of our overextended military. No wonder we had to sue to pry loose this information.”
The documents made public by Judicial Watch do not include the total of all costs for the First Lady's trip, such as expenses for security, transportation on the ground and so forth.

The sad thing is given the weak candidate the Repubs will be touting, his record won’t hurt him nearly as much as it should. Gear up for 4 more years of Obama folks.

The Obama family pay a high price to be who they are. They will forever be targets of racist psychopaths like BDSM, Citadel Nads and alphie.

Obama gave $172,000, or about 22% of his 2011 before-tax income, to charity. That's why his effective tax rate is slightly lower than his secretary's. But when both taxes and charity are considered it's apparent that he kept only about 58% of his income for himself. My bet would be that his secretary kept a much larger percentage of her income for herself. There's no real story here. This is an example of the kind of thing "conservatives" screw up in doing. No "hypocrisy" show here. Move along.
There are plenty of things to criticize Obama about but this is not one of them. It would help the "conservative" cause if they wouldn't stoop the the same kind of "gotcha" stuff and distortion that "liberals" (or, if you prefer, "progressives") are always stooping to.
