Training for "Me" But Not for "Thee"
Obama's jetset fitness trainer helps shed pounds, adds to global warming | J.P. Freire | Beltway Confidential | Washington ExaminerThe message is pretty clear: If you're an average federal employee or your everyday taxpayer, stop driving and be careful of your carbon footprint. If you're in the White House and you want some toned arms and a firm buttocks, fly your trainer out from Chicago every week. 50,000 lbs of carbon emissions. That's how much carbon emissions are involved in McClellan's flying back and forth every week for a year.If I was a warmal colding believer this would frost my chestnuts. But since I'm not I'll just stand on my revulsion about the personal vanity that is oozing out of this White House.

Is the Pres still keeping the oval office at the Hawaii temps he did when he first moved in?

If FLOTUS keeps eating those ribs, biscuits and other goodies, Air Force One is going to be a C-5A just to get her aloft.
Marine One from the White House to Andrews becomes a CH-54.

We can give her her own personal train. Do you really think they're going to let us peons on the high-speed trains once we pay to build them? Which slogan sounds better, "Scamtrack, we waste money faster than the old way" or "Wasting money at 220"?

Don't forget Michelle Antoinette's 27 ladies-in-waiting, including her newest shopper/stylist.
And have you ever heard of any other First Ladies taking impromptu vacations without her husband, but with 40 friends along? Not staff, FRIENDS. Her posse
For that matter. hate to sound petty, but the White House is for immediate family. We know Granny's there, and I wouldn't be surprised if friends were put on the expense account and put up at the WH, too.
I think he spent those "law professor" years teaching Allinsky....doesn't know the constitution.He does know how to recite the Shahada, the "prettiest sound in the world," doesn't he?
Today his staff was pushing featuring Al-Jazeera on every cable TV list. Hey, what's a little blood libel against the Jews? (Are we allowed to use the term "blood libel"?)
It's past time. Impeach. Now.
Impeach 2011
Palin/West 2012
P.S. Did you hear his latest accusation of the Tea Party today? That they're racist? That ol' race card comes out whenver he campaigns or whenever his numbers drop. We should get a cute name for them, like "racers" and laugh uproriously whenever they try that trick.

Not that he should have one at our expense anyway, but it he too cheap to pay enough to keep him in Washington on retainer?
