Obama Extravagances And What They Mean

[California Girl]

I've read enough cut-and-pasted-dittohead posts not to believe "the Left" has anywhere near a monopoly on being spoon fed.

But I can also tell you that most researchers are professors that demand some sort of "evidence" that anything has any scientific basis.

Of course, I suppose I should apply for a $500,000 Government Grant to study my hypothesis.

I'm sure that this Admin would throw a half mill at you to undertake such a valuable study! In the meantime, one need only go back and look at the variety of coverage about the Obama's spending to form an opinion. All Mud has done is voice his opinion - I see no reason why anyone should need a link for that. Unless you're seriously stupid - and you certainly are not that.

I think there should be a link. Why not?? It's not as though the OP would be above lies when it comes to Obama.

Link to what? The OP is the original thought of someone with a brain. I guess that is hard to understand if you are unable to achieve actual brain function.

This speech cost millions because Obama wanted a show that would be unmatched complete with U2 theme music and 84,000 cheering fans in Mile High Stadium.

And all of it was an extra expense because it wasn't necessary. They had the thing already set up in the convention hall....but it wasn't good enough for Obama.

Michelle Obama, as we reported on July 7, is not served by twenty-two attendants who stand by to cater to her every whim.

She is served by twenty-six attendants, including a hair dresser and make-up artist.

The annual cost to taxpayers for such unprecedented attention is approximately $1,750,000 without taking into account the expense of the lavish benefit packages afforded to every attendant.

Little did American voters realize the call for “change” would result in the establishment of an Obama oligarchy.

Sorry...it was $1.75 million

My mistake.

You calling me a liar......fuck you you fucken prick.

Thanks for the link mudwhistle. As I said before your claims are mere wingnut propaganda and show that yes....you are a liar. Your statement that Michelle Obama has a full time makeup and wardrobe staff that costs $1.2 million is supported in your own link by the following list of staff

So yes....mudwhistle is a liar

did those presidents tell people to tighten their belts.....

that you don't see the hypocrisy and difference between the time periods of those presidents only shows you're looking at this from a partisan position, not an honest one

according to obama, we apparently are/were in the worst economic times since the depression...but yet he spends money, according to you, just like other presidents.....so here we are in dire economic straights and you justify his spending because others, who were not presiding over dire economic straights, spend money as well....

Please don't attempt to justify your ridiculous position. Obama is no different than every other prez.

The White House is refusing to tell how much this little excursion with his wife cost the American people. Considering that last months joyride and Air Force One photo-op over the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero cost us about $250,000 (or more), we can safely assume that this trip would cost at least that. All things considered.
Obama New York City Date Night Cost $250,000? » Right Pundits

This is a classic example of how hard it is for Obama spokespersons to explain away his actions.


[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbMME3Ppvto&feature=related[/ame]

Oh, get real. Why should he have to explain anything??? Why is he being held to a different standard than any other president?? Because you hate him?? Tough. I hated George Bush and still had to deal with the fact that he was president. You'll survive.

Look at the original post. That was not about original thought. He was throwing out numbers like crazy. There was no opinion involved. What you're saying doesn't make sense. Is there something wrong with YOUR brain function.

This thread is getting stupid. Not one of you has a single objecticve thought about the president. Like I said, he is not doing anything different than any other president. Did you people expect him to run this country with no money?? Or never go out for the evening?? Just because you don't like him??

Previous Presidents weren't dealing with a country on the edge of bankrupcy. This is the attitude that got us in this position. The liberal reasoning of 'they did it, so we can do it'. If you remember back to the campaign - Obama said his Administration was gonna be different. In what way is spending us into oblivion different? Why are liberals so fucking stupid?

The President has to answer to the people.

Once he gets to the point where he feels he doesn't have to then he becomes a king.

Besides.....he said all of this would be on CSPAN...that he would be transparent.

Were those just words?

I contend they were.

Truth is nothing Obama or Congress says means anything anymore. Our allies know it, our enemies know it, and the voters for the most part know it.

Sorry if I was throwing out numbers off the top of my head....the evidence I was correct has been posted and you're not reading it. In some cases what I said was understated.

It's not my fault you refuse to listen or admit you were wrong.

So the point you made is lost.

The only thing one can derive from this exercise in futility is you're a brainless hack unwilling to listen to the truth or read the evidence when it has been served to you on a silver-platter.
