In January 2009, before the president signed his failed $787 billion stimulus bill into law, Barack Obama lectured America saying, "Everyone must sacrifice for the greater good... Everyone must have some skin in the game." Everyone but Barack and Michelle Obama. A month after returning from her 17 day Hawaiian vacation, Michelle Obama is off to Aspen for a ski vacation. W hite House Dossier reported: Michelle Obama has embarked on a skiing vacation with her daughters in Aspen, Colorado, according to the Aspen Daily News. The first lady, who just returned last month from 17 days of relaxation in Hawaii, is skiing in Colorado on Presidents’ Day Weekend for the second year in a row. Last year she went to Vail. Michelle’s decision to ski out West again instead of hitting slopes closer to Washington would seem an inopportune choice for a first lady who is helping her husband campaign on issues of “fairness.” The Obama campaign has set itself up as the defender of the poor and the middle class against the “One Percent,” a theme which clashes with the image a first lady who is taking frequent and exclusive vacations. Just last August, she sojourned on Martha’s Vineyard, and the month before she travelled to southern Africa for a trip that mixed official business with tourist outings like an African safari. In July 2010, she took an exorbitant excursion to the southern coast of Spain, flying out with friends and family on a large jet that often serves as Air Force 2 and then staying at a ritzy hotel. Poster Comment: The First Heffalump needs all those extravagant vacations no doubt. What with being waited on hand and foot, all that shopping for designer clothes and eating out at swanky restaurants and lying around on the beach must be brutal. And of course it is opm (other people's money) so it is not like she is dipping into their retirement account.

Everyone notices that the White House reporters dare not criticize the First Wookie for fear of being unceremoniously kicked out onto Pennsylvania Avenue.

She reminds me of the Lil Kim character in the song Lady Marmalade performed by her, Mya, Pink, and Christina Aguilera. I'm talking about her part of the song which begins at around 1:43 in the following video...
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

I know I would get kicked to the curb and lose my job over it but I would love to be able to ask Obama what all that talk about "shared sacrifice" means when it obviously doesn't apply to him and the heffalump. And point out that he is one of the biggest hypocrites the world has ever seen.
