REPORT: Michelle's Spanish Vacation Cost Taxpayers $467,585...

[gallantwarrior]

The President of the United States is a job that lasts on average about 6 years,

and based on the historical evidence, he has about a 1 in 10 chance of being murdered while on the job.

Show me any profession in this country with that death rate.

how many Presidents have ever been assinated.. Start with George Washington.. now figure those odds again.

Four. Out of forty-four presidents. 1 chance in 11.

What other job in America lasts around 6 years on average and you have that probability of being murdered on the job?

While we're going there, what other job lasts around 6 years and pays you 100% of your pay and full benefits for the rest of your natural life? Hell, it ain't even union!

Actually, Andrew Jackson was incredibly lucky at the Capitol. Two misfired pistols.

Michelle in Spain was a foreign relations gem, idiots. Cheap.

Michelle was in Spain to hobnob with royalty and to flaunt the fact that she could spend that much money on that much frivolous, expensive shit. She even brought a couple of "disadvantaged" associates in order to prove to them how profligate she could be without ever having to open her own checkbook.

Which BEGS the question?

WHY did she ever wanto to be there in the first stead?

Just so she could be PROUD that America let 'Black people' behnd the gates?

Because she could finally afford to splurge on all those dream vacations without spending a dime of her own money, and being able to call on all the "in" people. Plus, she's probably a rotten cook and would never have been hired in that capacity in the White House.

Franco begging to be sunk.

Y'know...when one is as 'dense' as franco, one has no choice but to sink!

But the SS FAIL [HMS Warspite] He claims remains afloat...

Which tells me that HE is a British subject commenting on American matters...

HMS Warspite (S103) was a Valiant-class nuclear-powered submarine launched in 1965 and decommissioned in 1991. She is currently awaiting disposal.

I think We should expedite matters.

Absolutely clueless LOL

HMS Warspite was a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship of the British Royal Navy. During World War II Warspite gained the nickname "The Grand Old Lady" after a comment made by Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham in 1943. Warspite and the other vessels in her class were advocated by Admiral Sir John 'Jackie' Fisher, and Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty. She served in both World War I and World War II, earning the most battle honours ever awarded to an individual ship in the Royal Navy, including the most awarded for actions in the Second World War.

[edit] Design
Upon her completion, Warspite displaced 33,410 tons. She was 639 ft 5 in (194.89 m), had a beam of 90 ft 6 in (27.58 m) and a draught of 30 ft 6 in (9.30 m). Her initial armament was 8 Mk I 15-inch/42 guns placed in four twin turrets, 14 single Mk XII 6-inch guns, two single 3-inch anti-aircraft guns and four single 3-pdr (47 mm) saluting guns. Along with that, she had 4 21-inch (530 mm) submerged torpedo tubes.

[edit] Service History
[edit] Commissioning (1912-1916)
Warspite's first commanding officer upon being commissioned in 1915 was Captain Edward Phillpotts. Warspite joined the 2nd Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet following a number of acceptance trials, including gunnery trials, which saw Churchill present when she fired her 15 inch (381 mm) guns. Churchill was suitably impressed with their accuracy and power. In late 1915, Warspite was grounded in the River Forth causing some damage to her hull; she had been led by her escorting destroyers down the small ships channel. After repairs, she rejoined the Grand Fleet, this time as part of the newly formed 5th Battle Squadron which had been created for Queen Elizabeth class ships. In early December, Warspite was involved in another incident when, during an exercise, she collided with her sister-ship Barham, which caused considerable damage to Warspite.[4]

[edit] First World War
[edit] Jutland (1916)
In 1916, Warspite and the 5th Battle Squadron temporarily augmented Vice-Admiral David Beatty's Battlecruiser Force. Between 31 May and 1 June 1916, Warspite fought with the squadron in the Battle of Jutland - the largest encounter between Britain and Germany during the war. Warspite sustained fifteen hits, incurring such considerable damage that she almost foundered. Her steering jammed while attempting to avoid her sister-ship Valiant. Warspite’s captain decided to maintain course, in effect circling, rather than come to a halt and reverse. This decision exposed Warspite. [5] The manoeuvres made Warspite a tempting target and inadvertently diverted attention from the badly-damaged cruiser, Warrior. This gained her the admiration of Warrior's crew, who believed Warspite's movement had been intentional. [6]

The crew regained control of Warspite after two full circles. Their efforts to end the circular motion had the consequence of placing her on a course towards the German fleet. The rangefinders and the transmission station were non-functional and only "A" turret could fire, albeit under local control with 12 salvos falling short of their target. Sub Lieutenant Herbert Annesley Packer was promoted and mentioned in dispatches for his command of "A" turret. Due to her condition, Warspite was ordered to halt and make necessary repairs. Warspite would be plagued with steering irregularities for the rest of her service life.

I said her wreck was in front of our hotel in Cornwall when I was 3...nitwit.lol

Did more for relations with Europe than Booosh's total BS in 8 years. Cheap, nitwit dupe.

Booosh's messes cost the country 5 trillion, and you're going nuts about 400k. Absolute idiocy...

She B sooo adorable.

 

[freedombecki]

Well, if The Daily Caller (Tucker Carlson) said it - it must be true. It's nice to have a President and First Lady who can travel abroad without fear of being arrested for war crimes and frogmarched to The Hague.

Why G.W. Bush should be frogmarched before the Hague | Crooks and Liars

What matters is that Michelle and her little junkets are going to be a part of the election.

When Obama goes after Romney because of his wealth, what is his position ? That he knows about the pain of the average working person ?

About 500 K between them in 2005 and aabout 450 K between them in 2006.

"But it costs so much to send my kids to camp".

And all these vacations.

No one can stop her....but don't tell us you understand our pain.

Dickweed demos.

 

[SwingVoter]

it cost the government $199,323 to fly to Spain and back to the United States.

she's not going to be too proud of her country if she ever has to make that trip again flying commercial like the little people...maybe she'll have enough miles to upgrade

why do libs call Republicans by nicknames like "Boosh" and "Mittens"? are you all in 2nd grade?

plus 5 trillion is a bargain compared to the 10 trillion bill Obama's running up right now

 

[NYcarbineer]

The case that I've just proven is that you are an idiot, and shutting up alternative views is not something to which I would subscribe.


Further, either admit that you are a dishonest low-life, or point to anything in this post that relates to "whether or not the President is being over-compensated for doing the most dangerous job in America."


Do you actually think that it is not painfully obvious that your attempt, regularly, is to change the subject?
You must believe that everyone is as dumb as you are.


Oops....did I inadvertently suggest that you "think"????

My bad.

You answered my post with an entirely irrelevant quote from Hillary Clinton.

You: "The least you could do would be to shut up..."


Rebuttal: "I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration."
— Hillary Rodham Clinton


Posting with you is the same as listening to a public service announcement for birth control.

The least you could do is shut up to avoid making fools of yourselves.

Does that clarify it?

btw, it's interesting that you yourself don't actually commit to a position on Michele Obama traveling. Are you in the thread just to troll then?

Obama's at 5 trillion, and 3 of that is Booosh's DEPRESSION. I don't respect spoiled rich boys much, but Romney is still on probation lol
