- Truly change we can believe in --- or as was said during
the campaign,
-
- "We are the 'change' you have been waiting for."
-
- Imagine this - and when do we get totally fed up?
-
- A Boeing 757 and a fleet of armored cars for Michelle's
sight seeing tour!
-
-
-
- Michelle One
-
- On Sunday, President Obama flew back to the United States
on Air Force One. His wife, two daughters and her mother did a bit of shopping
in Paris before taking their own Boeing 757 (C-32) over to London to do
some sight seeing.
-
- We all remember Obama's admonishment to corporate CEO's
in February:
-
- "You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take
a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers dime."
-
- Apparently that doesn't apply to his wife.
-
- The London Times opened it's description of Michelle's
visit this way:
-
- Motorcycle outriders, armoured Chevrolets and bullet-headed
men in raincoats criss-crossed London yesterday as Michelle Obama and her
daughters spent a second day on an unofficial visit to the capital.
-
- The Times went on to describe that when Michelle and
the girls arrived at Westminster Abbey, the building was closed to tourists
with people already in told to "wait against the wall." An American
visiting the Abbey said "Right then I knew it was probably someone
from our 'royal Obama family'."

-
-
- Michelle's motorcade shut down the London street above
as the First Lady of the World and her children go for Fish and Chips at
a pub in Mayfair. The entourage inside the restaurant was 15 people while
dozens more wait outside. Include the dozens of Air Force personnel to
fly and service the plane, embassy personnel and other staff and we are
talking about a serious expenditure of tax payer dollars.
-
- Meanwhile, millions of Americans have lost their jobs
and won't be able to take their family on a summer holiday. Despite their
circumstances they'll still be expected to fork over the tax dollars to
pay for Michelle's trip.
