Article Raw Story: Melania is being asked to leave NY City

[bdamomma]

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/melania-trumps-being-asked-to-leave-the-big-apple/

snip of article:

Nearly 50,000 people had signed a Change.org petition by Tuesday morning demanding First Lady Melania Trump move in with President Donald Trump in their new White House presidential pad in an effort to reduce the costly taxpayer expense of protecting the first family as they live in separate states.

New York City has been footing a daily bill from $127,000 to $146,000 so the first lady can continue living in her $100 million Trump Towers penthouse, according to New York Police Commissioner James O'Neil. The cost surges to more than $300,000 to secure the 58-story building each day the president visits his family.

1. What irony

Our FLOTUS is an immigrant who doesn't want to do the job an American would jump at and is married to an anti-immigrant POS that's supported by anti-immigrant POS's.

[guillaumeb]

2. But she is a WHITE immigrant, and that makes all the difference. eom

[chervilant]

97. A white immigrant

who has posed naked, displaying a body that most men drool over...

[Scarsdale]

119. Drool over?

From the neck down she is built like an adolescent BOY. Until tRump bought her a set of fake boobs, she was flat chested, too. She HAD to have other "qualities" that made her an escort able to afford to fly home every few months.

[chervilant]

123. Even the most reverend

(forgive my irreverence) Pat Robertson has made supportive remarks about her public nudity. And, yes -- many, many, many males think she is "hot" and have said so.

[cwydro]

9. Not every American would jump at that job.

Several First Ladies despised it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. tRump had to get 2 immigrants to do wife job (of 3), proving immigrants do work Americans dont want.

[wordpix]

58. lol, that's a good one

[ET Awful]

31. In all fairness . . . .

Like many jobs immigrants do, being married to the Donald is a job no American would want

(I kid!!!!)

[synergie]

49. She's an illegal immigrant too.

Wonder when that press conference he promised will be happening, since he's keeping all his campaign promises, like those tax returns.

[MrScorpio]

3. Thanks, now leave.

I can dig it.

[Achilleaze]

4. Republicans squandering taxpayer money

Last edited Tue Mar 28, 2017, 03:37 PM - Edit history (1)

To further their own deluxe Republican nests.

Deplorable

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. "text payer". Tweets cost lots of money. . . nt

[gibraltar72]

5. Don't they understand

Melanoma needs to be near her personal trainer. She has needs just like all of us.

[nocalflea]

82. And as Masters & Johnson have explained ,

women nearing a certain age ,often have the need for more than one personal trainer .

[L. Coyote]

6. We can afford this, we can't afford the Defense Department budget.

[Alice11111]

103. Yes, a drop in tbe bucket. Plus, it's decent PR for us...his own wife can't endure touching him.

Anyway, if she doesn't want to be 1st lady, so what. She is so overshadowed by the real 1st lady, Ivanka, it must be tiresome. They all treat her like shit, even on camera, especially DT.

It is NOT that I have a lot of respect for her either. None. I just don't think you can force her to do it. ...and sleeping w him on top of it, I think she tries to get herself braced to do it, but she can't...for many reasons.

[democratisphere]

7. A whole bunch of very spoiled adult children acting like overindulged rotten brats.

Damn, can't wait till they are gone.

[LakeArenal]

43. They ain't acting... They're for real...

[Alice11111]

104. Got that right

[WoonTars]

8. Maybe she doesn't like the idea of living in government housing?

But seriously, i think we all can take a guess at why she wants to stay in a different city than her husband.

[jpak]

10. ...

[jbeing]

20. You win the Internet

The Boor married a Gabor. Soon she, too, will be farmed out.

Someone has to watcha the dacha.

Ivana, Ivanka...I vant to be alone.

[LisaM]

39. Except Lisa Douglas did go with her husband.....

where she proved to fit into Hooterville far better than he did, and became enormously popular with the locals!

[jbeing]

62. The question is

Will fake history repeat itself?

Or better - Would Zaza, Eva and Magda or Jolie have been a better cast for "Petticoat Junction?"

Ah, Hooterville...How times have changed.

[IrishEyes]

71. Plus Donald Trump is no Oliver Wendell Holmes.

I like Green Acres. It was a fun show. The star Eddie Albert was nothing like Donald Trump. He was married for 40 years to the same woman, a WW2 veteran, an avid environmentalist, and an active democrat

[SCVDem]

91. We have Mr. Haney

in the White House.

[gopiscrap]

34. I sang this for an auditon for a school choir at a Catholic school once

and got kicked out of class!

[klook]

37. You are my hero.

You probably delighted your classmates and flipped a switch in several brains that helped them see the absurdity of the situation.

Sometimes the little things we do make all the difference!

[gopiscrap]

41. yeah I got a weeks detention for it because the nun

knew I was the best singer in the class. I was 12 at the time and had already been getting paid for three years for singing for weddings and funerals and baptisms at the parish

[calimary]

46. ROFL!!!

GOOD one, gopiscrap!

I can see how that would happen, being a Catholic school grad, myself.

You have proven once again:

Why do you go to Catholic school? Answer: to generate material!!!

[gopiscrap]

52. yup and I have lots of it

I spent most of my years of grade one to eight standing in hall except during music and religion. I sang that Greenacres song because some one dared me for 5 bucks (which for a 12 year old back then was substantial) to sing it.

[NastyRiffraff]

72. Ha Ha! Another Catholic school girl here

I tell friends about some of the stuff that went on and they think I'm either being funny or exaggerating!

[nocalflea]

85. My mother hated parochial school so much,

she refused to send my siblings and I there.But I certainly heard the stories. You have my have my sympathy.

[calimary]

92. Yeah, the whole experience is one of those "you kinda had to be there..." situations.

I've dined out on those years - for years!

[3catwoman3]

95. My husband went to Catholic schools all the...

...way thru high school.

He usually refers to the assorted nuns as "Sister Mary Godzilla."

[calimary]

121. LOL!!! Later generations at our school referred to one nun as "Sr. Mary Terminator."

[Marcuse]

45. Oliver Wendell Holmes, R - Hooterville, Harvard Law

Would be a much better President than *45, even though he mistakenly thought had been appointed to the State Court of Appeals when he had actually been appointed as Judge of Apples at the State Fair.

[Ilsa]

11. Exactly. Move in with him or divorce him.

Or the Drumpfs should foot the bill for security at multiple residences. This business of asking taxpayers to pay for her security like this needs to end.

[FakeNoose]

54. She's in New York because her son is still in school

When Baron finishes up the school year in NY they're both coming to live in the White House.
Very soon after that, Trump will be impeached and run out of town on a rail.

So no problem, OK?

[Ilsa]

57. Sure. But the Obama girls moved in January to their new school in DC.

There was no reason Barron and his mommy couldn't do the same. They had two and a half months notice.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

73. Not all children adjust easily to a move

Besides, Malia and Sasha had each other.

[Ilsa]

76. True, but it seems like a lot to ask everyone else to pay for

Just because they aren't ready to move.

I'm thinking they aren't going to.

[Thor_MN]

75. Didn't that just happen to a Russian?

except that it was only 4 floors..

[dflprincess]

88. That's the story we've been told

sells better than admitting she'd prefer not to be any where near her husband.

[jalan48]

12. Trump's daughter is now the First Lady. Melania would be relegated to a back bedroom.

[pansypoo53219]

13. move them to a SECURE smaller mansion. CHEAPER. fuck the turnip towers.

[Marie Marie]

22. How about Cheney's undisclosed bunker?

I'm sure that was secure x 100.

[Alice11111]

106. Yeah, he was always at an "undisclosed location." Haven't heard that in 8 years or so.

[hamsterjill]

16. It's simple.

She can stay as long as the Trump empire pays the total cost. Not one penny of taxpayer money should be used to pay for an old jerk who is married to a younger woman who doesn't want to be near him.

That's a PERSONAL problem.

[TNNurse]

19. I agree, I do think she should be in DC pretending to be first lady

but I do not think she would do much that would have meaning.

[Fast Walker 52]

36. Yeah, really. It's insane they are not doing this. Actually I thought NYC was billing Trump for

extra security of TT? Or was that just during the campaign?

[The Wielding Truth]

44. She should live with her husband or he should pay for her security if she lives elsewhere.

[Alice11111]

111. ...almost like sexual slavery, to be forced to be w him. Of course, she could divorce him, but it's

hard to divorce a sitting Prez. I wish she would.

[The Wielding Truth]

124. No sexual slavery. They don't have to have sex or even talk to each other. Her safety

expense would be millions less of our tax dollars if she would live in the house provided for them or he could pay for her security with his "so-called' billions. It's a big waste of our taxes to foot the bill for an entire NY tower.

[IronLionZion]

17. I'd like her husband to leave DC

those two should move to Mar a Lago, or Moscow

[bdamomma]

93. Moscow would be a better fit.

con man would be over the moon to be near Putin.

[BruceWane]

18. Well, yeah, the petitioners will get their way.........

..... but not because they signed a rather silly petition.

Everything I've heard was that she and Baron would be moving to DC as soon as the school year was done. Which is pretty typical for the families of newly elected presidents. Pretty sure the Obamas did the same.

Oh, would you look at that - it even says so in the article linked. They're planning to move in June.

There's plenty of real serious stuff to berate Trump about; it's kind of stupid to pick on petty little things.

[Cosmocat]

25. No, the Obamas did not stay in chicago

The came to the wh with bho, and started at their new school in January.

Trump has said a LOT of things, and done literally none of them.

Always going to stay at the wh, never going to play golf.

It's a bullshit story to punt to the next bullshit story.

She hates his guts, hates having to be sucked into it all and doesn't want to sleep in the same state as him, much less building.

[SunSeeker]

26. Bullshit. The Obama girls immediately transfered schools and were all moved in by Jan. 6, 2009.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/05/AR2009010503270.html



But your concern is duly noted.

[crazycatlady]

27. The Obama family moved to DC a few weeks earlier

Malia and Sasha started their new school right after the holiday break.

[JusticeForAll]

28. $1M+ per week of unnecessary costs?

I don't find this petty or little.

[calimary]

48. Welcome to DU, BruceWane.

There are other posters here who've offered a correction. And they're right. The Obamas moved WITH their school-age daughters, to the White House.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Obamas NOT leaving Washington until their youngest daughter's high school years are completed? That is certainly true. But they're private citizens now, and their eight years living in OUR White House have officially been completed. Wherever they live from now on is on THEIR nickel, not that of the taxpayers.

[BruceWane]

64. Ah, sorry....

..... my mistake about the Obama's move to DC timing.

But actually, all presidents receive lifetime secret service protection, along with their spouses. Children until they're 16. They can decline it if they want to.

The only ex-pres to decline was Nixon, after 11 years. Maybe he hoped someone would come and put him out of his misery. Or he knew no one would have the mercy to put him down like the irreparably damaged animal he was.

The Carters, both Bush families, the Clintons, and the Obamas are all under secret service protection.

[calimary]

89. Meh - there's such a whirlpool-from-Hell to keep track of, these days, that even the pros are

missing the boat sometimes.

I don't know if you're old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan Show. If so, you may already know what particular act I'm about to describe, but if not...

Every so often, Ed Sullivan, who ruled Sunday nights on CBS with his big-time variety show, would book this act that involved a guy standing behind a row of tall poles, mounted to the floor. He had as many china plates as he had poles. His act involved spinning a plate on the tip of the first pole, and then, once it was spinning smoothly, he moved on to the next pole and set another plate to spinning on its tip. He repeated this all the way down the row of maybe nine or ten poles until all of them had spinning plates on top, and then he'd race back to the first pole to rescue its plate from running out of speed and wobbling towards its crash-to-the-ground death.

And so on. It quickly became high drama - OMG! Is our hero gonna get back to the first one so it doesn't fall? The orchestra, in the meantime, was furiously playing Khachaturian's Saber Dance through the whole bit.

By the end of the act, you were freakin' EXHAUSTED, just watching this guy! Even though he somehow NEVER failed, and never dropped a single plate. Kept 'em all spinning, throughout.

That's how I suspect the working press feels, trying to stay on top of all this trump shit that starts spinning out of control from the wee hours onward, EVERY day.

[Ilsa]

90. I don't have to watch your video -- I remember the act vividly.

The press must be exhausted trying to chase down all of these side stories and tease the truth out from the constant dissembling from the WH. Constant distractions and a huge web of activities by the trump team involving money laundering, election tampering with a foreign govt, etc.

[Alice11111]

107. So did Conway w 4 kids & the Kushners w 3 kids.Barron has his own penthouse. It's a BS excuse. Still

I would avoid him at all cost, and the Fake 1st lady role.

[Miles Archer]

59. Oh, would you look at that - five months of this comes out to about $20,000,000 in taxpayer dollars.

"A rather silly petition?"

How about a million dollars a week, plus the impact it has on people who actually lived and ran businesses there before Trump became President?

Everything you heard? Is that the same as many people are saying? I also heard that Melania was going to make it her personal mission to combat cyber-bullying. Haven't heard anything about that yet, though.

It's not pretty typical for a First Lady to spend 5 to 6 months...minimum...in a $100 million penthouse with a weekly $1 million cost for protecting her. Although, if you want to post information to the contrary, with a link, I'll be happy to look at it.

"They're planning to move in June" means one of two things...they are actually going to move in June, or saying that they are going to do it keeps the public and the media quiet until June, when they do or don't. It's Trump 101. He was also going to repeal and replace ObamaCare on "Day 1." How did that work out?

This is neither petty nor stupid. $1 million dollars a week could keep some of the programs Trump is defunding up and running.

I'll believe the "they're planning to move in June" thing when I see it. Even if it happens, it's still $20 million thrown out the window.

[Alice11111]

109. Of course, I expect another excuse in June too. Even if she did, they would still have to secure the

Towers for their visits home.

[tomp]

84. let the fucking yokels who elected him chip in.

i understand the federal govt is supposed to be responsible for secret service. why in hell should NYC have to pay extra?

[nocalflea]

86. If we can't vent about the"petty" stuff,

we'd all go insane.And thist thread is custom built for venting.Great stress reducer venting.

[LenaBaby61]

108. It's kind of stupid to pick on petty little things.

Not petty to me.

I don't think there's been a solid dollar cost on how much money it takes to keep the the 10 year old and Birther Third Lady in tRumputin tower, but I bet my last breath it's not cheap. Hopefully, it'll only be until June. If longer than that, then tRumputin ought to hit up his oligarch buddies to chip in and keep the 10 year old and the Birther Third Lady installed in tRumputin towers

[OregonBlue]

21. They can afford to hire someone to home school their son. No reason they have to stay in NY.

[SunSeeker]

29. Exactly. They should have immediately transfered their kid to a DC school, like the Obamas did.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/05/AR2009010503270.html

[FrenchieCat]

23. she needs to be deported for breaking US LAWS!

[herding cats]

24. It has 125,535 supporters now.

"The U.S. taxpayer is paying an exorbitant amount of money to protect the First Lady in Trump Tower, located in New York City. As to help relieve the national debt, this expense yields no positive results for the nation and should be cut from being funded."

The petition is here: https://www.change.org/p/u-s-house-of-representatives-make-melania-trump-stay-in-the-white-house-or-pay-for-the-expenses-herself

[Cha]

100. Yay.. I'd sign that so fast if I lived in NYC!

Thank you, herding!

[herding cats]

114. It's kind of sneaky in its wording, honestly.

It doesn't specify how much is local vs national funding. Which kind of irked me when I read it at first. It just says "taxpayers" which is true but disingenuous feeling. You know?

This won't be a mega signed petition because of that I bet. Democrats are smart and don't like being made to feel like they're being played. Which this made me feel just a little bit when I read it.

Or, I'm off base and reading more into it than I should. Which we know I can do!

[brooklynite]

30. UNREC

Plenty of things to address about Melania Trump; a slactivist online poll isn't one of them.

[SunSeeker]

33. I disagree. We're talking millions in wasted money here. And it is an issue people can understand.

We can chew gum and walk at the same time. We can mention this and still go after him for his Russia treason, environmental destruction, and pathological lying.

[brooklynite]

53. And a feel-good online poll is neither going to inform a large share of the population...

...or have any actual impact on the situation.

[SunSeeker]

69. It can't hurt and it might help. nt

[tazkcmo]

74. Wouldn't want folks feeling good.

I bet you're a blast at birthday parties that do nothing to stop the impact of aging.

[brooklynite]

81. I'm a lot of fun at parties...I take politics seriously.

[lanlady]

32. Washington Post had a piece today about the vanishing First Lady

I'm starting to wonder if she's got a substance abuse problem & maybe that's why she avoids being seen in public.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/melania-trump-a-cipher-in-sky-high-stilettos/2017/03/27/bcb3c212-0900-11e7-a15f-a58d4a988474_story.html?utm_term=.43df920b4282

PS - the article says that Melania is devoting herself to improving the lives of women and girls and to redecorating the White House. Boy, doesn't that make you feel better

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. She's avoiding her swinish husband.

[crazycatlady]

68. want the best way to protect women and girls?

Keep them away from sexual predators like your husband Melania.

[Alice11111]

110. I read it, late last night, I think, but I thought it was pretty vapid...maybe the subject matter.

[eniwetok]

35. Parasites Feeding At The Public Troth!

Besides Melanoma and Trump's frequent flights to FL... SCREW THEM!!!

[klook]

38. Not to mention the public trough.

Troth = loyal or pledged faithfulness, or one's pledged word -- hardly a term that applies to anyone on Team Drumpf.

[eniwetok]

79. duh! I knew it didn't look right!

But it came up OK in the spellcheck... so....

[3catwoman3]

101. You may enjoy this.

Ode To Spell Check

I have a spelling chequer.
It came with my PC.

It planely marks four my revue,
Miss takes I can knot sea.

I've run this poem threw it,
And I'm shore your glad two no.

Its wonder full in every weigh.
My chequer tolled mi sew.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. An online petition and $2 will buy you a coffee at Starbucks.

Nothing short of prison is going to make that bunch of grifters stop grifting.

[LakeArenal]

47. Well if the one weapon I have is to be a mosquito and annoy them...

That's what I'll do.. I can't put them in prison...

[janterry]

50. I disagree

What if she had a career and didn't want to move (they wanted a commuter marriage)?

I'm no Melania fan - and I detest Donald, but there has to be a solution that does not chain her to Donald because of HIS job. She gets to make her own decisions.

OTOH, I'm all for limiting Trumps paid vacations and having his adult children pay for some of their travel expenses. (Particularly when the 'boys' are earning income for the Trump business).

[keithbvadu2]

51. Trump said he was keeping his own security force.

Trump said he was keeping his own security force.

The police should just leave and let them take over.

[Alice11111]

112. That's for HIS big body though. He doesn't trust the Secret Service. They might become aggressively

Patriotic.

[erpowers]

55. Make Him Pay

Congress needs to pass a law that forces Trump to reimburse New York and the United states for the costs of securing Melania and Barron Trump at Trump Tower and the older Trump kids when they travel for business related trips. I am pretty certain the Trump's could have moved Barron to Washington, D.C. in order to go to school. What is everyone else doing? Kellyanne Conway moved to D.C. Ivanka Kushner moved to Washington, D.C. What did the Obama's do when President Obama won the 2008 election?

[Fla Dem]

56. Ya, fu&k Baron and his fancy school. Pres Obama's girls found excellent schools in DC.

Imagine if Michele and the girls stayed in Chicago during the school year. The nasty stuff that would have been said about her would have been racist, sexist and misogynist. For sure the Rethugs would have passed a law saying the nation could only cover one residence at a time. Her protection would have been eliminated from the budget. They would say it was her decision to stay in Chicago, so the Obama would have to provide their own protection. The hypocrisy is so overwhelming.

[wordpix]

60. is there precedent for grown children of presidents getting Sec. Service protection?

I mean, some pres like Trump could carry this to a ridiculous degree, like a Sec. Service retinue going to ski and stay in Aspen b/c Uday, Kusay and Czarina Ivanka are there with their spouses, children, and no one can be out of sight of Sec. Service. All at taxpayer expense but we need to cut Meals on Wheels

[Miles Archer]

63. Always go to the source, I say...

https://www.secretservice.gov/protection/

Protectees:

The President of the United States
The Vice President of the United States
The President’s and Vice President’s immediate families
Former Presidents, their spouses and their minor children under the age of 16
Foreign heads of state and their spouses visiting the United States
Major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses
Events designated as National Special Security Events by the Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

[YOHABLO]

61. This is ridiculous. Make Trump pay for his own security for her.

[Freedomofspeech]

65. 5th Ave in NYC is a mess because of the tRumps.

Last edited Wed Mar 29, 2017, 09:01 AM - Edit history (1)

We were there in December and two blocks around trump tower were surround by those hideous cement blockades and many, many NYC Police and police cars. You couldn't even walk by Tiffanys or several other stores...it's a total mess and an eyesore. Our taxi driver told us trump will do anything to hurt NYC because everyone there hates him.

[bdamomma]

94. I heard the same thing NY'ers

hate him. Con man is afraid of protestors. He always goes to mar-a-lago.

[MiniMe]

66. I give them a break until the end of the school year

Personally, I don't think Melania has any intention of moving to DC, I guess we'll see.

[oldcynic]

67. ambivalent about Melania

I pity her for having to live and have sex (ugh) with a limp moldy carrot. We can assume that she is an abused woman, given to whom she is married and the testimony of previous wives. She has probably been used and misused most of her life and deserves empathy and sympathy. For whatever reason, it is difficult for abused women to see options, especially when they have children.
On the other hand, this is a woman who used what resources she had, her looks, to gain social and economic advantages. If she had chosen a more traditional business career she would be praised for rising to the top. There are things to admire about her.
I do think it is obvious she has little to do with her husband's affairs (economic and otherwise). My impression is that she just wants to survive intact and my impulse is to give her a pass. Let's not judge her as whore or madonna. She's just doing the best she knows how.

[womanofthehills]

113. She was not "used and abused most of her life" - she had an upper middle class life

Her parents were not poor - they were considered successful. Her father drove a Mercedes and her mother designed children's clothes.
"Mr. Knavs, a traveling car salesman, spent a lot of time on the road. But when he was home, he was noticed. Friends say he had a jocular personality and a fondness for his Mercedes sedans and his coveted Maserati." https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/19/us/politics/melania-trump-slovenia.html

Melania actually grew up in a pretty town:


I don't see how you admire a women who claims Obama was not born in this country. Give me a break?

[Marie Marie]

122. Boy, she got in every Trump talking point ever.

She was well rehearsed.

[putitinD]

77. Maybe she should go back to Slavenia, and take her deadbeat husband with her!

[sprinkleeninow]

105. Outer Slob-ovia is picturesque especially the shoreline. Sunny warm temps year round

They'd feel right at homeeeee!

[Mc Mike]

78. That's $40 million dollars per year, easy. Lowest possible estimate.

While Florida gets gouged for the security costs of his constant visits there, and we have to pay for the kids' security, as they jetset around the world whooping it up and making deals. Even Conway took 4 secret service agents when she went shopping in Jersey, last week.

While not even considering the normal large costs for White House security, while the White House sits unoccuppied.

[Ilsa]

98. Yes, I heard a few weks ago that

They were anticipating the bill for year 1 to be higher than Obama's expenses for four years, and it could top $400 mil unless they slow down.

[VOX]

80. If 45 wants to slash & burn, he can start at home.

If indeed he has a home. Devil's Island might be a good start.

[MrPurple]

83. I'm still waiting for the press conference Donald said she was going to have in 2 weeks

to explain her immigration status. That was 10 months ago, so that press conference must be coming any day, right?

[cstanleytech]

87. Personally unless the city is obligated under law to provide additional long term protection

they should remove it until Trump and not the tax payers decides to foot the bill.

[AgadorSparticus]

96. So utterly ridiculous that this is even happening at all.

[Cha]

99. Get the Fuck outta our City. Keep on signing Peeps!

We knew it had to come to this..

Mahalo, bdamomma!!

115. Oh wow, Melania wants a divorce? If Trump looses Melania he'll really go psycho

Not good, not good at all considering the ways he could act out

116. Article Raw Story: Melania is being asked to leave NY City

They live in different states and they spend weekends in Florida. Lot of money for taxpayers... He is making America poorer... not greater..

118. Who can blame Melania? I wouldn't want to live with him either.

She ought to grab the money and head for the hills.

120. THE Trump family aren't even spending their own money most likely

but the American people are paying for each and every bit of it. They way they are spending money is like they are the Richest family in the world and don't have to give a shit about who pays for what.

I guess we could call them the highest spending Welfare recipients in the country. What ever they want is theirs for the asking. Skiing trip in Aspen? No problem. Weekend golf trips? No problem, living in an expensive NY penthouse? No problem.

At this Rate, all the money OBAMA brought back will soon be a deficit, and we will be teetering on the financial edge again. But ya, know... its their way of saying, WERE CON MEN, and we are stealing all the expensive silverware in the white house and selling it on EBAY and lining our pockets.

I wonder how fast they can clean out the Lincoln Bedroom.
