Speaking at a panel at the Summit of the Americas in Colombia, President Obama said part of his job there was to “scout out” vacation spots for Michelle.
“We’re having a wonderful time,” the president said, “and usually when I take these summit trips part of my job is to scout out where I may want to bring Michelle back later for vacation, so we’ll make sure to come back some time in the near future.”
President Obama’s declaration comes hot on the heels of his testy exchange with Larry Connors of KMOV, who asked the president about those who “get frustrated and even angered when they see the first family jetting around [to] different vacations…sometimes maybe they think under the ‘color’ of state business…”
President Obama’s Colombia trip was filled with news, from the dismissal of 11 Secret Service agents for their alleged involvement with a prostitute, to the revelation that members of the U.S. Military may be involved in the same scandal.
Officially, the president was there to “discuss the enormous progress in the region” and determine how best to move forward.

Apr. 15, 2012 at 9:08pmCan you believe this piece of crap? What an arrogant jerk. Alot of people are paying attention to all of these expensive vacations Obama’s family are taking and he has the nerve to talk about scouting out more places to go on our millions. You can’t make this stuff up!!

Apr. 15, 2012 at 9:19pmWas this a mistake on Obummer’s part, or was he just telling the American citizens that he does not care what we think, and that we had better get used to it?

Apr. 15, 2012 at 9:52pmI have always wondered..Is that really his wife? Are those really his kids? Where are the wedding photos? How long did Michelle exist as a woman? Was she born a girl?…Just wondering.

Apr. 15, 2012 at 10:07pmThat is proof that Obama is a pathological narcissist. It’s as if he’s throwing this vacation thing right in our faces. He won’t be elected our next president. He’s in the process of imploding, probably having a narcissistic meltdown after the question about his and Michelle’s lavish travel, asked by that wonderful reporter on Friday. Expect more meltdowns. It’s called narcissistic rage. It’s how you know we are winning.

Apr. 15, 2012 at 10:13pmYes I can believe it. There was an article earlier this weekend that suggested Romney may be charged with a felony in Wisconsin for giving away sub sandwiches for votes. If he is removed Oh say right after the convention; what do you think happens to the conservative movement? Filing deadlines; filing fees………
YES I think this may very well happen; because of how confident this male always seems to be about reelection

Apr. 15, 2012 at 10:26pmRather see him in a prison cell for treason…At the least, we need to deduct his expensive vacations from any future retirement pensions paid by the tax payers..The American people owe this fool nothing after he is gone..Same thing goes for most of the congress these people don’t deserve these golden retirements they have given themselves…

Apr. 16, 2012 at 9:55amHe may as say “FU America, I am above your petty judgement of my families vacations on the tax slave’s credit card”. Notice when Regan and Bushes took vacations, they went back to their homes to relax and “recharge their batteries”. Obumer rents million dollar vacation homes, flies in his dog with it’s $100K/year handler on a separate jet, plus the entourage of whore mongers from the Treasury Dept.

Apr. 16, 2012 at 11:25amMaybe he’s self-delusional enough to believe his false rhetoric that the Economy is in recovery thanks to his “leadership”. That’s why there is a total disconnect between his delusional “reality” and the genuine reality of most people, many of whom haven’t been able to take a vacation in years thanks to his lack of leadership and anti-growth economic policies. He’s incredulous when he comes into contact with highly educated, professional people who claim to have been out of work and are unable to find jobs for extended periods. How could that be? he asks.

Apr. 16, 2012 at 11:46amThis exemplfies perfectly just how arrogant he is.. He knows his base will support him regardless. Especially thevast majority of African Americans who will indoubtedly view this through some sort racial spectrum. “The White man complaining about the Black man just trying to have a little fun”.
Also He said it because he knows those that hate will hate even more and those that love hime either are too stupid to understand his words and their context or they do and don’t give a hoot.

Oh that’s right she has since moved on… Huma is soiled goods now the her Wiener scandal was made public… Hillary is rather a pathetic character now. She has for the most part been exposed as a liar (snipers in Bosnia), a collaborator (her connection to the Muslim Brotherhood via Huma), and her lack of definitive action and resolve as the Head of the State Department. If the rumors are true and the POS POTUS takes her as the VP we are really in trouble.. With Joe-blow Biden at least no one took him seriously.

Apr. 16, 2012 at 7:05pmJust looking for a place to post my comment as usually I do not bother reading or commenting after all it is the hydra head with all the snakes and worms running these stories after writing them however Fox News posted today a story about a young officer from Texas who lost all four of his limbs after stepping on an IUD and his address was posted. That story and the story of Hillary partying with her buddies in Cartagena brought tears as the absolute meaness of this woman who has sold us all out I find more despicable than the arrogance of our President and that must take considerable practice. The young man’s name is Travis Mills and an account has been set up in his name in Frisco Texas. Perhaps it is wrong to call her out but partying hardy while our young peole suffer angers me.
