Moochelle Obama's Ireland Hotel Room

[lucky4034]

That suite you see bridging the gap between the 2 buildings? Michael Jackson paid $25,000 a night for 4 nights. As of last March, it's booked into 2015. I don't know what the regular non celeb rate is.

Atlantis is the ****!

Since it's on the Internet, I'm skeptical. The article in question state the room rate is $3300. It does not state that the US taxpayer is paying that rate, or even any of that.

Once again Grunt has changed the stated fact for his thread title.

Now, the taxpayers may indeed be paying this, but Grunt hasn't posted evidence or article stating that fact.

I did a little checking using my google-fu and see that Marriot (the hotel owners) list that a normal room rate as $275-$600 for that hotel, so $3300 for the Princess Grace suite isn't out of line.


But, hey, it's Obama - facts be damned.

That makes zero sense to me. Am I the only one?

I am usually one of the last ones to defend the president or his family, but he is the president.

Why don't we sell the White House and rent them an apartment in a section 8 complex?

I think that Michelle Obama has rightfully earned the nation's gratitude for her hard work as the nations's first lady just as all of our other first ladies have.
And Pres. Obama has volunteered to donate $20,000 of his salary back to the Treasury due to the sequester.

President Obama to return $20,000 of salary to Treasury

President Barack Obama will return 5% of his salary to the Treasury in a show of solidarity with federal workers smarting from government-wide spending cuts.

April 3, 2013

WASHINGTON — Sharing a bit of budget pain, President Barack Obama will return 5% of his salary to the Treasury in a show of solidarity with federal workers smarting from government-wide spending cuts. Obama's decision grew out of a desire to share in the sacrifice that government employees are making, a White House official said Wednesday. Hundreds of thousands of workers could be forced to take unpaid leave — known as furloughs — if Congress does not reach an agreement soon to undo the cuts.....

All Work, No Pay

...In Michelle's last job, as a vice president of the University of Chicago hospitals, she earned $316,000 annually, almost double her husband's salary as a U.S. senator. The job of first lady, on the other hand, has always paid exactly ... nothing. ....

All Work, No Pay

I just got a thank you note from the white house for paying for a fabulous vacation

Comrade:

Please keep in mind what Article 125 of the 1936 Communist Constitution states:

"ARTICLE 125. In conformity with the interests of the working people, and in order to strengthen the socialist system, the citizens of the U.S.S.R. are guaranteed by law:

freedom of speech; freedom of the press; freedom of assembly, including the holding of mass meetings; freedom of street processions and demonstrations.

These civil rights are ensured by placing at the disposal of the working people and their organizations printing presses, stocks of paper, public buildings, the streets, communications facilities and other material requisites for the exercise of these rights."

If you continue to violate the communist constitution, I will have no recourse but to report you to the party as specified in the communist constitution, Article 130:

"ARTICLE 130. It is the duty of every citizen of the U.S.S.R. to abide by the Constitution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, to observe the laws, to maintain labor discipline, honestly to perform public duties, and to respect the rules of socialist intercourse."

PS: I researched La Quinta Inn and Suites and they charge $95 a night. She probably is only paying this rate.
