Dear American Taxpayer
For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in
Spain .
My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time.
Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a
$2,500.00 per night private 3-story villa at a 5-Star luxury
hotel.
Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we
were safe and cared for at all times. By the way, if you
happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol, I highly recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant in Marbella ; great lobster with rice and oysters! I'm ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha's Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you're not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it?
Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate
according to Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates, but they are close. That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.
I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.
I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days.
Cordially,
Michelle (Moochelle) Obama
P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip to India from which we just returned!
P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to Martha's Vineyard ; it was fabulous.
And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha's Vineyard so we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn't take him on Air Force One because he might pee on some wires or something.
P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000 square foot house was great! P.SSSs don't forget my ski trip to Vail this winter and now the girls and I are in Africa with my mom. All this while Barack golf's and campaigns to keep my trips coming for the next 4 years !
Love ya!
Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic times equally! Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.

THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN NOW |

I guess conservatives desperately want a First Lady who just stays at home.
All of these tired, old overreactions have been beaten to death, but if you really think a single diplomatic visit would cost two billion dollars, you need to get your sense of skepticism checked.
So I have to ask, is there really a secret lab where conservatives cut and paste every single right wing lie and myth on a given subject together into new emails? Because it sure seems that way.

Notice references at the end of above article as none are provided in your BS.
Tediously boring, as well as being tediously fact-challenged. zzzzz
To Anon, above: in reality, there's a cadre of Rightwing Think Tanks that create a lot of these smarmy b.s. lying POS propoganda pieces. I don't have time to research it, but a couple of years ago, Keith Olbermann discussed it on his prior show on MSNBC.
I have elderly parents, and let me tell you: these RightWing Think Tanks go after Seniors with a vengence. They send them the most lying POS crap booga booga scary scary letters telling them the usual rightwing propoganda lies about how all the LIEbruls is after their Soc Sec (when it's the 1%) and junk like that.
Then they hit them up for *donations* to the Think Tank in order that the Think Tank can "help" them "fight" the dreaded dirty LIEbruls "stealing" their money. It's insidious.
Even my super rightwing siblings were ticked off about the rip offs.
But that's how these scum-suckers get their email lists. Then, in addition to their grasping letters, they send out these b.s. emails.
So, yeah, in effect, there is a kind of "secret lab" where these nasty diatribing lying idiotic numbskull propoganda pieces are ginned up. And that's why they are all similar... and equally similar to the daily does of rightwing talking points that Rush Limbaugh shouts at his "listeners" daily.
Not kidding.
It's not "share the wealth". Plutocrats do not share. Ever. Like other kinds of equality, economic equality has to be fought for.
We just wan't the cronies to stop fucking STEALING from the rest of us. And gaming the systems all one way is stealing.
Will middle and lower class conservatives EVER see this elephant in the room?
I'd pity them, but they positively wallow in this foolishness.
I agree, gruaud, that people who prefer lies to truth in order to avoid any challenge to their biased beliefs don't deserve pity. And I continue to believe it is our duty to poke them with a bit of truth whenever possible -- you just have to do it indirectly.
Oh, I wil poke the crap out of them with the truth.
But will they listen? Truth is painful. Pain is bad, and must be ignored, according to our awesome talking heads.
What does it take to get them to come out of their mental hibernation at last?
Starvation?
Destitution?
Impeding death?
What about the rest of us who see clearly?
Can we wait until they finally figure it out for themselves?
They might never. Heck, I vote for they WILL never get it, because then the Rapture will come and blonde-haired, dino-riding, Jesus will "save" them.
These kooks have to be marginalized once and for all.
