Michelle O: on vaca again...1 mo after Hawaii
White House Dossier is on top of the Obamas' schedule. POTUS seems to be scheduling only fundraisers and parties. FLOTUS is busy flying all over the world for her vacations, this time to Vail Aspen:
The Obama campaign has set itself up as the defender of the poor and the middle class against the “One Percent,” a theme which clashes with the image a first lady who is taking frequent and exclusive vacations.
Just last August, she sojourned on Martha’s Vineyard, and the month before she travelled to southern Africa for a trip that mixed official business with tourist outings like an African safari. In July 2010, she took an exorbitant excursion to the southern coast of Spain, flying out with friends and family on a large jet that often serves as Air Force 2 and then staying at a ritzy hotel.
What’s more, as the government struggles to cut the deficit, the symbolism of a first lady jetting out to Aspen with a security entourage at taxpayers’ expense to ski would seem to send the wrong message about cutting back on spending.
As part of the 1%, the Obamas want to still enjoy "99% identities," regardless whether they are part of the commoners like the rest of us shmoes out here in the hinterlands.
There is definitely a disconnect between the Obama's and the 99%. He needs the vote of the youth and those who are economically challenged. He has to give them an image that he is just one of the people. This is so false! This family lives insulated from real Americans. In the months leading to the election I will try to hammer away at this point with political art. I do not believe that his wife or his daughters understand the tragic effects the US war has on other. Nor do they understand the economic hardship that many Americans are facing. Be a voice for change.www.bush-it-usa.com
ReplyDeleteI agree. But, then, most of DC lives insulated from the rest of the world. Certainly unionists do.
ReplyDeleteThey're called the "ruling elite" for that reason.
Thanks.
