London Bridge is Falling Down, Michelle O-Bama

On Sunday, President Obama flew back to the United States on Air Force One. His wife, two daughters and her mother did a bit of shopping in Paris before taking their own Boeing 757 (C-32) http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j191/mikesamerica/mikesamerica2/?action=view&current64130.jpg over to London to do some sight seeing. We all remember Obama's admonishment to corporate CEO's in February: <http://www.ktnv.com/Global/story.asp?S27680> "You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers dime." Apparently that doesn't apply to his wife.

The London Times <http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6466571.ece> opened it's description of Michelle's visit this way: Motorcycle outriders, armoured Chevrolets and bullet-headed men in raincoats criss-crossed London yesterday as Michelle Obama and her daughters spent a second day on an unofficial visit to the capital. The Times went on to describe that when Michelle and the girls arrived at Westminster Abbey, the building was closed to tourists with people already in told to "wait against the wall." An American visiting the Abbey said "Right then I knew it was probably someone from our 'royal family'."

Michelle's motorcade shut down the London street above as the First Lady of the World and her children go for Fish and Chips at a pub in Mayfair. The entourage inside the restaurant was 15 people while dozens more wait outside. Include the dozens of Air Force personnel to fly and service the plane, embassy personnel and other staff and we are talking about a serious expenditure of tax payer dollars. Meanwhile, millions of Americans have lost their jobs and won't be able to take their family on a summer holiday. Despite their circumstances they'll still be expected to fork over the tax dollars to pay for Michelle's trip.

Trying to Screw the Middle Class Again - and We Didn't Even Get Dinner First!

Don't tell me that I will be able to keep my private insurance. Struggling businesses in this country aren't going to continue to pay insurance benefits to their employees, leave alone the employee's dependents, when the government is socializing healthcare (or what will be left of healthcare). 16% of the population is without insurance; 16%. The "one payer" system the current administration is fooling us with WILL take away from the many AND still not satisfy the needs of the few. The middle class will suffer under government run healthcare.If your employer does keep insurance benefits, you will be paying your part of your health insurance AND the higher taxes required to pay for the government system! Don't tell me I can keep my private insurance. I can't afford to!
