Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOh forget it. That ship has sailed. We fly him off for golf excursions every other weekend.
Michelle Obama, along with daughters Sasha and Malia, are in Africa wasting taxpayer money to promote the First Lady’s Let Girls Learn initiative. By now, we are fairly used to Michelle taking lavish vacations and pointless goodwill trips that cost us hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars, but this one is different. At a stop in Morocco, Michelle casually gave away $100 million, which we all worked hard to earn, so that girls in that country can go to school.
Reuters reports:
U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, her mother and daughters Sasha and Malia were joined by Meryl Streep in Morocco‘s Marrakesh on Tuesday on a six-day tour to try to promote girls’ education.
Oh good, we’re paying for Michelle’s mom and Meryl Streep too. This just keeps getting better.
“I am sitting here now as the U.S. first lady, talking to you, because of my education,” Michelle told a group of girls anticipating some US generosity.
No, she was sitting there talking to the girls because we paid for her to go over there. She was sitting there as First Lady of the United States because she married a bum that, despite his lack of qualifications, was elected president. Her education literally had nothing to do with it. Also, she’s selling those girls some snake oil by making it sound like an education is a golden ticket to the presidential palace or whatever the hell they have in Morocco.
Now here’s the part that should blow everyone away. Well, everyone with a job who pays taxes anyway:
The U.S. government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) was launched during her visit and includes $100 million to be spent on 100,000 Moroccan students, half of whom will be teenage girls. The funds come from $450 million given by the MCC last year to boost education and employability in Morocco.
That’s kind of a weird way of saying it, but basically Michelle Obama gave Morocco $100 million to be spent on education and apparently there’s another $350 million on the way.
The Reuters reporter is trying to make it seem like that money is coming from the private sector, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Millennium Challenge Corporation was created by the federal government to distribute foreign aid. It is funded entirely with US taxpayer dollars. That’s your money and my money.
I am generally against the US giving foreign aide, but this one is especially hard to take. First, Morocco has a 99.9% Muslim majority. Second, this isn’t to help the country modernize, become democratic, or even to fight terrorism. All of this money is going to fund the pet project of Michelle Obama. Usually the First Lady’s hobby doesn’t end up costing Americans this kind of money.
Lets keep in mind that Michelle still has several more countries to visit on her African adventure. How much more of our money is she going to give to Muslim nations and third-world shxxholes? FLOTUS has taken some pretty expensive trips, but this is by far the costliest

Stormy is gossip, and didn't happen while Trump was President
Clinton and Monica were when Clinton was President

More Obama whataboutisms. Sorry but it pales in comparison to how Trump is bleeding the treasury department for his every-weekend golf trips. In addition that trip was part of a broader initiave regarding girl's education and was a yes a feel good trip for the US. Guess what, feel good trips work. It's called PR. What good does Trump golfing every weekend do for our reputation in the world? Nothing. Not a g-dam thing. The Obamas didn't travel nearly is often Trump, and actually used Camp David which is right there in the area at the president's disposal with a quick car or helicopter ride, no Air Force One required, staff can be driven there, not flown. Camp David is way to rustic for Trump, who prefers the over-the-top Russian oligarch decor of his golf course and homes.

Watergate had a COVER UP, that was what brought Nixon down not the crime itself. Trump threatened someone (legal? no) to COVERUP an affair that likely would have impacted voter decisions. He may have broken campaign finance laws to do so, again possible legal action.
If he isn't guilty, no problem. His Russia probe lawyer quitting today isn't a good sing. Either Trump didn't pay him, or the poor bastard was losing his mind with Trump as a client. Don't forget, Capone went to jail on tax evasion, not murder.

Obama drained the Treasury form the inside out ,and along the way added trillions tot he National Debt.
You do remember the one trillion dollar stimulus that wasn't a stimulus or shovel ready don't you ?
You do remember all the billions lost on the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies don't you?
You do remember Solyndra ?
Solyndra of course is the once much-hyped solar panel startup that raised over a billion dollars from private investors and lost $5oo million of tax-payer funds, in the form of a loan backed by the DOE, when the company later went bankrupt.
The loan program was created under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, but Obama’s stimulus plan first funded it. Loan guarantees basically says the government will pay back the loans to a company if borrowers can’t. In many cases, like in Solyndra’s case, the government also provided the loans as well, via the Federal Financing Bank

"Whataboutism" - (noun). A term used by a liberal when they realize what they are crying about today they didn't cry about when members of their party exhibited the same behavior previously. The term is to combat accusations of hypocrisy when they have nothing else to counter with.

A term used to describe when Trump supporters have no actual facts to defend their position on the CURRENT discussion, so they dig back into history, of course using history on a limited basis or completely incorrectly . Examples include; her emails! Benghazi! But Obama..
