Dueling Headlines: Efficient Government Spending Edition
**Written by Doug Powers
As expected, President Obama and the First Lady will be traveling separately to Hawaii for vacation this month:

*****
Obviously the separate travel is pricey, so keep that in mind while reading an Executive Order signed just over one month ago:

*****
Stay tuned for Executive Order 13590: Promote “Do as I say, not as I do.”

So mo and the kids(aka senior staff) are getten out of dc without bho? Well why would this surprise anyone? mo loves, just loves to spend taxpayers money on trips like this. Gads, please let us get those gosh horrible two out of our house next year, please.
L
Did Bo the Wonder Dog travel on his own plane again?
Where’s that scalpel he kept promising to use on the budget? It must be buried under all those pallets full of Miracle-Gro.
***
The taxpayer money that Comrade Obama and His lovely wife Mooochelle waste on their separate vacay trips are peanuts compared to what He and His Ilk are prying out of the U.S. Economy and Taxpayer pockets with His wild out of control wasteful spending.
***
The more The Messiah is out of town–the more I like it. Like Rush Limbaugh said on Greta’s show last night, “He has succeeded beyond His wildest dreams!” And if we don’t give Him a failing “grade” in Nov. 2012–our country will be toast.

325 days and a wakeup.
I remember when the media was aghast that Nancy Reagan was replacing the china at the White House during such tough economic times. This bunch could roast imported Belgian marshmallows over a fire built out of Treasury bills and all they’d report was the good family fun.
“Coach for thee but not for me.”
the liberals and his constituency would love it but I’ll bet Farrakhan would grumble.
I think the only thing Obummer knows how to do right is FAIL!
And their cat traveled on a separate plane.
And their goldfish on yet another plane.
And Obummers ego gets its own plane.
I doubt there is an exsiting aircraft capable of carrying something that large. An Antonov 225 could not even accomodate it.
Is it possible to sue a president for lying out his kiester?
I think I just felt Gaia warm a bit

Good catch. As a then young Republican I never thought I’d hear the end of that? It should be noted “Queen Nancy” did the majority of upgrades to the WH w/ private donations -not- taxpayer funds.
Nancy no doubt liked the finer things in life and never really made secret of it. Her perfomance of “Second-Hand-Rose” was partly out of necessity. Nothing however on the order of this sacred cow.
Moochelle’s in a corner I’m afraid. Anything less than continued opulence signals a 2nd term isn’t in the bag to handlers/bundlers. You GO girl!
Oxymoron
Almost pregnant
Apperximately equal
Bitter sweet
Intelligent liberal
etc.
Approximately. Dang keyboard
Speaking of the Antonov 225 Mryia; I’m surprised Obama hasn’t adopted it as the new Air Force 1. Then again, maybe he’s looking for someone to build him something a little bigger.
Efficient gov spending???? Spending everything the public makes and then some, is that what is meant by “efficient” gov spending? Guess the gov hasn’t seen a dollar it didn’t want to spent to protect gov jobs.
Louis Vuitton and Cristal for all my homies!
WOT but Mark Steyn has now jumped into the fray with Michelle and Rush to stand up to the establishment power grab. He is dissenting from NRO’s obnoxious “winnowing out” conservatives of the field leaving only liberals yesterday. Thank God some conservatives are willing to fight instead of caving.
spaceycakes,
Fail to see how MO is in any different a bind than pop stars on less than Sold Out! concert tour?
Arriving in a limo getting mobbed by those that couldn’t get a ticket is one thing. Tighten the belt and show up in the back of a taxi, and people know your career is over! She’s no choice here.
domestic animals such as dogs have to be quarantined when entering Hawaii for a period of weeks as I remember, never mind, don’t know what got into me, after all Odopo is the dictator of the new USSA.
Pasadena Phil:
Ann Coulter and others have gone off the deep end with the anti-Newt stuff, IMHO. Keep it up and we’ll see worse headlines about Obowtome’s and Mooochele’s misuse and waste of OUR MONEY in his second term.
It’s a question of security. I saw a couple of shifty looking Shar Peis and Shih Tzus hanging around the airport the other day.

HI FLYOVER_MAN–#5. The 1966 Army term was “X days and a bag drag” since most G.I.’s didn’t have a car and had to drag their heavy duffel bag to the bus stop on their way off post and back into the “real world”.
***
I had an old but nice 1955 Chevvy and drove home–no bus for me. And we all thought the best departure was done by a fellow draftee who had a Shelby Cobra sports car. We were all standing at attention in the dark winter morning waiting for the flag to go up. The new (almost) civilian drove into the gravel area near us, spun out, and showered us with dirt and rocks, and flew through the main gate a block away from our barracks. With the duffel bag tied to a rope dragging behind the car.
***
No–the gate guards didn’t stop him–they were still half asleep as he cleared post in style. Didn’t please the training sergeant much either.

Yep, and as such, th First Pooch is exempt from anything as inconvenient as a quarantine.
gotta watch those pure-breds.
Errah, In 2012 we’ll wistfully look back on the last four years and long for the return to the good ole days of Scamalot.
True efficient spending and government have been incompatable since probably the 1800′s, thanks to politicians,bureaucrats and insufficient, and, in most cases, non-existent auditing and oversight. Which is only one reason our founding fathers intended the federal government to have limited powers.
Union worker
Seriously?? He seriously put out an executive order promoting efficient spending??
Oh, now I get it. They’re efficiently getting every last dollar out of you and me. That explains a lot.
Whew. I thought I was in some sort of parallel universe.
Virtual Sex
…but with a Secret Service agent who is not part of her detail?

this is easy, you get a large tarp, wrap it around the ego, attach multiple tarps if needed, then put a basket under the bottom, and you have a blimp. but call the record books, for the largest flying object ever recorded.
For most families in the real world, when daddy has his vacation time cancelled by work, the rest of the family is faced with a choice to either go on the vacation without him, or to stay home as a family.
Normally, if it’s a trip to visit relatives, then the family goes anyway. If it’s just to go to a vacation destination (like Hawaii), then they stay home with daddy.
Just another data point that shows that The Obama doesn’t relate to the rest of society.
Actually, I think that they would need several Antonov 225′s since Obama has started referring to himself as “we” lately.
mrt721,
That assertion is absolutely ridiculous and will not be tolerated..! FLOTUS is way too classy to get caught up in some tawdry “steamy sizzling affair” ( with a Secret Service Agent no less! ) I can’t even believe you’re even using this blog as a platform for spreading filth about “all our” First Lady!
You should be ashamed of yourself! ( Uh… what was that link again? )
swede #13,
“Apperximately” ? Norm Crosby had nothin` on you !
I may snitch that !
Sorry – I’d still go to Hawaii. Tough cookies to the hubby.
Norm Crosby: It has that pancreatic effect!

“Efficient Spending”?
Well, having spent $5 Trillion in under 3 years comes out to a little over $4.7 Billion per day.
Seems pretty dang efficient at spending to me.
Hangfire,
Too funny! No idea what The Globe’s track record on rumored ‘affairs’ is but CHW has been angling for her own Queen Of All Media ‘launchpad’ from day one.
FLOTUS will do whatever she thinks she needs to in order to feather her nest by whatever means ( earned or otherwise ) available. Probably figures she can out-flake HuffPo and drive more traffic by accident than Conservative Bloggers do on purpose?
And she won’t exactly be starting out by maxing out credit cards and risking all to do it either! I hope he dumps her…
And there’s poor lonely Barack without his “body man”…
The reality of that is, even the bad sex is still pretty good, or so I’ve been told.
When you say “bad” sex, do you mean “not very good” or “Catholic schoolgirl?”
C’mon, Rogue…you know that the worst sex you ever had was good.
Oxymoron: Postal worker
Going to Hawaii would be fabulous. Going to Hawaii with either Oblabla and Moochie is my idea of torture in paradise.
Hi Hangfire @44…exactly what is “Catholic schoolgirl” sex, just askin’ ‘s,all?
Hey, swede, I liked “Apperximately.” I thought you were mocking a point. And let’s face it, we’re all too far to the right of too far to the left to be able to read the fine print on the ExecOrd that says it doesn’t apply to the current Occupiers of the WH.
Hey, what’s a few extra $HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS in wasted fuel? After all, it’s cheaper than Afgan Air!?!
Where is a Chinese AF jet jockey when you need one? Don’t let Obie and Shaka Toots’ (HT First Skrt I think. LOL.) jet get close to ChiComville. That would make for a shortened trip.
Any ‘forbidden’ sex.
Growing up Catholic (and an altar boy, to boot), the more forbidden the deed, the more I wanted to try it.
In that vein, a girl with a plaid skirt, white shirt, and knee socks is 3 times hotter than a girl in hotpants and halter top.
Thrift for thee, but not for me! That is the mantra of the Obama clan.
With all the Executive Orders The Won is issuing, I wonder if he’ll issue Order 66
“It’s good to be the king.”
Amen!
I musta been doin’ something wrong…I had the plaid skirt, white shirt, and even the knee socks and no guy ever gave me the time of day in Catholic school. Makes me go, hmmmmm. HOWEVER, as soon as I put on the AF uniform, everything changed – ha!
