Keeping our soldiers in Iraq is a lot cheaper, under $2200 a night.

According to the Congressional Research Service, it currently costs an average of $802,000 to keep one U.S. soldier in Iraq for one year. Who is paying for all this?

Typical liberal diversion, papaya. Why don't you just admit that Michelle's overspending and now reports of their mistreatment of staff at the hotel in which they're staying are an embarrassment? She's certainly not cementing relationships between our two countries.

And please....don't compare what Michelle does to what our soldiers do.

As far as your costs go....those are probably total war costs divided by the number of troops in country. Not a good way to come up with a dollar figure.

Have the Obama's become what they despise? Hmmm...you've gotta wonder. It's no more inaugural dresses made by black American fashion designers, now, is it?

You are, you know darn well that she has scheduled official stops so that the taxpayer picks up the tab.... and yes, I know that this has been done in the past and then just as now we borrow every penny spent on the trip with little intention of ever paying it back.

Shouldn't a Goddess be treated as such? After all, she is responsible for the trimming down of America and making sure the roses in the people's garden are getting the adequate amount of fertilizer. Then look at the Pope. He feels so sorry for the poor and downtrodden. Poverty is all because of financial inequality. No kidding. Both he and the CC sure set a good example when it comes to frugality. The weekly Vatican budget would give every Haitian $100,000 with leftovers. It's SICK, SICK, SICK! I WON'T STAND FOR IT!...........where's my recliner?

Let's hope that they don't take advantage of the position. I don't care what you thought of George, Laura had real class. She was a giver, not a taker. She wasn't a control freak, either.

According to national Taxpayers Union, FLOTUS has gone on 14 overseas trips since the President took office, for a total of 73 days. In the same time, Laura Bush had gone on 46 trips for a total of 141 days.

Just wondering.....were those trips with her husband? Were they overseas or here in the states? Please, don't compare apples and oranges and give misleading statistics. How many personal vacations did Laura take apart from George, and how much taxpayer money did that take compared to Michelle's vacations?

How would you discipline secret service agents for visiting a brothel when they were in the company of the first man?

Not sure about that. But, I dont think the media would be pissing and moaning about Bill being "demanding" of hotel staffs and service staffs abroad either.
