But didn't he recently say, that he takes "trips" to do "recon" for Michele and her "vacations" ????

Maybe he may want to "silence" her. I'll bet that she found out just WHO the SS were getting those ..... errrr ..... ummmm .... "friends" for, on his LAST trip.

Just look at how he spends OUR money. I mean he is a cheep bastard after all. 30 bucks for an $800.00 escort ..... sheeezzzzz ...... Sounds like his style.

I guess I watched the wrong speech last night. Here is some commentary:

Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball," raved about a speech President Obama made to American troops during his surprise visit to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

"I imagine being a soldier over there -- this is what you want to hear," Matthews said, as if he was wearing military fatigues.

I pretty much ignore ANYthing that "tingling leg" Matthews says, especially as regards his idol.

Election year foofarah - wait until the spotlights go on in the other two rings of this political circus. It's going to be a long summer.

And so it goes...

Raving, yup, that is chris mathews alright.

How nice he timed his speech for prime time here. Bit of an indicator of who counts for what with obama; troops are such a nice background.

I wonder what his report to Michelle will say about the potential for Kabul as a vacation spot? I'll bet Michelle looks great in a Bhurka...
