Presenting the Comedy Team of FLOTUS and POTUS!

If for nothing else, credit should be given to the First Lady of the United States, our FLOTUS, and the president of the United States, our POTUS, for their ability to make jokes, real knee-slappers sometimes, and often without cracking a smile. The former Michelle LaVaughan Robinson is especially adept at amusing an audience although Barack Hussein Obama isn’t far behind.

Far and away funny has been Mrs. Obama’s bizarre sense of style, sort of a cross between Chicago-ghetto and nouveau Lady Gaga but her delivery of straight lines is remarkably riotous. The one during the campaign about never before feeling pride in her country was a real corker! It had to be a joke, right?

The FLOTUS more than ably demonstrated her ability to risibly entertain without betraying the slightest degree of irony at a Southern Cal fundraiser when she feigned concern for her overworked hubby’s work ethic. She described him as “tireless . . . [and] better prepared than the people briefing him,” which would seem to render any briefings superfluous, and then dropped her bombshell yuk when she said, “This man doesn’t take a day off.” (http://politi.co/jCSlnx)

Presuming “this man” referred to the POTUS, Mrs. O. should have had them rolling in the aisles at the thousand dollar a ticket Southern California Women for Obama event although, reportedly, no one laughed. Michelle’s humor is very subtle and the obtuse women may have missed her joke about a president who has vacationed more and golfed more in 27 months than any chief executive in American history.

Of course, we know that those were all working vacations to Chicago, Martha’s Vineyard, Hawaii, America’s West and Southwest, Florida, etc. as were our globetrotting prez and the family’s $200 million passage to India, trips to China, Japan, England, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Latin America, et al. And who’s to say he didn’t discuss affairs of state on his 70+ golf outings?

“This man doesn’t take a day off.” Good one, Michelle!

It should be emphasized that Barack is no slouch . . .

Obamian Vacations: Good Sign, Bad Example

Obamian Vacations: Good Sign, Bad Example

Most Americans are lucky if they can get away for for a week at the shore or in the mountains. Some cherish even a few days at a beach or just a day or two away from their daily grind. Then, again, most Americans aren’t the POTUS or the FLOTUS.

President Obama and his family are in process of setting records for vacation time and that’s a good thing at the same time it’s a terrible example.

On the one hand, for those who think he should never have been elected in the first place, any time Obama is not in Washington gives hope that he’s not able to easily compound his many failures to date with additional failures. One can always hope.

Also, his and the first family’s repetitive misuse of executive vacation perks suggest Barack must have a strong inkling that the electorate have finally come to their senses and won’t re-elect him and allow him to continue to thumb his nose at the American people. He may figure that he and his clan might as well milk his position for all its worth.

While our Clown Prince VP is sopping up the rays in Key West, Michelle Obama again took her brood to the slopes of Vail, CO, for the kidlets’ and her winter break, to get away while they can on the taxpayers’ dimes. As usual, when Michelle gets away, she does it up big time, on this occasion getting her R&R at the exclusive Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain where rooms range from $605 to $2,000 per night.

FLOTUS was in dire need of a vacation. She hadn’t taken one since way back in December when she and POTUS rented a Hawaiian mansion and racked up something in the area of $100,000 in expenses, compliments of those taxpayers: http://tiny.cc/tp5v6

Hey, look, we all deserve a break today and whenever and I don’t begrudge the Obamas their days on the slopes or in the sun or on the beaches or in Hawaii or Europe or India or England. The fact they prefer posh to places the hoi polloi may frequent simply reflects their current glory days tastes as opposed to their humble beginnings. Such tastes . . .
