No White House tours. There's not enough money.
Another vacation for the Obamas, with the taxpayers picking up the Secret Service bill?
No problem.
Sequester? What sequester?
From the Weekly Standard:In the first three months of the year, members of the first family have been on three vacations, averaging a vacation a month. And now it's being reported that the first daughters are on a spring break vacation in the Bahamas.
The Obamas began the new year in Hawaii. "President Obama departed Hawaii this morning for Washington, after spending NINE days vacationing with family and friends in his native state. Here’s a quick look at how he spent his vacation," ABC reported on January 6, 2013.
"Obama played FIVE rounds of golf with SEVEN different partners, spending roughly THIRTY hours on TWO different courses on Oahu. The president made FIVE early morning trips to the gym at the nearby Marine Base at Kaneohe Bay. The First Family spent TWO afternoons enjoying the beach on the base and went for ONE hike to a local waterfall. The president spent ONE father-daughter afternoon with Malia and Sasha, bowling and going out for shave ice, an annual tradition."
Then the first lady and their daughters vacationed in Aspen over President's Day weekend. "First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Aspen on Friday afternoon and is here with her daughters for a ski vacation," Aspendailynews.com reported in February.
...While the rest of the family was in Colorado, Obama went to Florida for a golf weekend. "It was not his motivation, certainly, but President Obama is honoring his modern predecessors on this Presidents’ Day weekend by doing what many of them liked to do on breaks: chill out in Florida with the guys — including, in his case, one of golf’s most famous guys, Tiger Woods," the New York Times reported in February.
And now it's being reported that the first daughters are on Spring Break in the Bahamas. "Sasha and Malia Obama are quietly vacationing at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Breitbart News has learned," a report reads.
The Obamas are most definitely not feeling our pain.
As Breitbart reports, the media are ignoring the Obamas' lavish vacations while they slammed George W. Bush for mountain biking and clearing brush at his ranch.
Obama and his family are jetting around, lifestyles of the rich and famous.
But if your family planned to go to DC for a Spring Break vacation, forget about touring White House.
That's off limits to the little people.
The Obamas appear to think they can do whatever they want and not suffer any criticism whatsoever.
When it comes to the Leftists minions and the government dependents they've created, they're absolutely right.
Yesterday, when I was on Tom Wolfgram's campaign website, I saw this ad prominently placed on his home page.
Watch Tom Wolfgram's ad for his reelection bid as Ozaukee County Circuit Court judge. It's titled "Seattle."
We all remember that 2012 game from hell.I didn't watch the ad yesterday and I haven't seen it on TV, but I noticed the image of the Packers and the NFL refs.
Charlie Sykes mentioned the ad on his radio program this morning and tweeted this: Recall the Russ Feingold ad from his failed U.S. Senate reelection campaign in 2010. He, too, used NFL images. The NFL didn't like it. Read more and watch that ad here.
So Wolfgram, a presiding judge, seems to be dismissing copyright law, unless he received permission from the NFL. That, of course, is highly unlikely. The costs of using NFL images in ads are prohibitive.
Is this yet another fumble by Wolfgram?
Yes, Wolfgram has 18 years of judicial experience but he's doing a lot of things one would expect from someone very inexperienced.
Joe Voiland, Wolfgram's challenger, keeps looking better and better. _________________
UPDATE:
On The Five Monday, Greg Gutfeld really unleashed on Jim Carrey and his new song, "Cold Dead Hand." Carrey's anti-gun video mocks gun owners and mercilessly targets the late Charlton Heston.
Before releasing the video, Carrey tweeted on Sunday:'Cold Dead Hand' is abt u heartless motherf%ckers unwilling 2 bend 4 the safety of our kids.Sorry if you're offended by the word safety! ;^}
Carrey is begging for attention.
Watch video of Gutfeld's reaction.GREG GUTFELD: He is probably the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth, and I hope his career is dead. And I hope he ends up sleeping in a car the way his life began. This video only made me want to go out and buy a gun. He thinks this is biting satire - going after rural America and a dead man.
Let's talk about Charlton Heston. Charlton Heston was one of the first actors to be behind the civil rights movement and march. What did this jackass Jim Carrey do? He was behind the anti-vaccine panic. There's 160,000 people that died from measles last year according to the World Health Organization. Jim Carrey has killed more people than all the rifles combined.
He's a dirty, stinking coward. He's a moral coward that did a video attacking rural America. He wouldn't do a video about gangs, which kills way more people with handguns. He wouldn't do that because he's too worried about his career. He's such a pathetic, sad little freak. He's a gibbering mess. He's a modern bigot. He's a modern bigot. He's a bottomless pit of insecurity, and the desire for acceptance is why he's doing this because he knows in his heart that he's a fraud.
The Charlton Heston thing is the thing. Here was a great man who is dead and cannot defend himself. This little dirtbag, this little nobody...
...He's as edgy as a Frisbee.
...He insulted a bunch of people and then he ran like a little baby. He's such a little, sad freak.
I'd like to hear Carrey's response to this.
He should do a video about gang violence or violent video games or the violent trash produced by Hollywood. If he had a spine he would.
Like Gutfeld, this video, as well as all the other bullying lately over guns, has only served to make me want to get a gun.
Bottom line: Carrey epitomizes the worst of Hollywood Leftists.
Judge Tom Wolfgram chose to toss his political impartiality out and joined the fray to oust Governor Scott Walker. He signed the recall petition, clearly engaging in a very public political act.
Why is this problematic?
Why vote for challenger Joe Voiland?
Voiland explains:The Separation of Powers is central to our republic. The legislature makes the law. Our judges enforce it.
But here in Wisconsin, we have seen a concerted effort to undermine the Separation of Powers. Time after time, our state court judges have blocked legitimate acts of the Wisconsin Legislature.
Ozaukee County Judge Tom Wolfgram crossed the line into politics and publicly supported the effort to recall Governor Scott Walker.
Judge Wolfgram now claims in the liberal Ozaukee Press that publicly supporting the recall was nothing “political.”
Judge Wolfgram’s claim that the recall was not political is “not just hogwash, it’s transparently misleading hogwash. Petitions in any instance are political acts intended to force a question of some sort on a larger scale. In this case, it’s even more explicitly political, as the petitions want to use the political process to negate an election,” as one writer notes.
I am challenging Judge Wolfgram in the April 2nd Election.
I am thankful that Joe Voiland is challenging Wolfgram, giving Ozaukee County residents a choice.
The incumbent judge has revealed that he has terrible judgment. And then when confronted with the facts and his failure to remain impartial, publicly stating his opposition to Gov. Walker, supporting the recall, Wolfgram came up with excuses that were remarkably poor.
Given how badly Wolfgram has handled the matter, I wonder if those in the old boy network in Ozaukee County publicly endorsing Wolfgram realize that they're taking a risk. Their association with Wolfgram reflects poorly on them.
True, some may have given Wolfgram their endorsement before learning that Judge Wolfgram actually signed the petition to recall Gov. Walker. Have any withdrawn their endorsements? It's something they should consider.
Read Wolfgram's appeal to voters:Dear Voters & Friends
I am deeply committed to the rule of law, applying it fairly and impartially, treating all participants in the court process with dignity and respect. I recognize each person’s case, at that moment, is the most important case in the court system. When I proudly and humbly took the oath of Office I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin. I appreciate my obligation to apply the laws as they are written not as I or anyone else thinks they should be. I have faithfully adhered to this duty in deciding thousands of cases during my judicial career.
I have owned a home in Cedarburg for 32 years and know that one of the most important functions as a Circuit Court Judge is to keep our community safe. The Police Chiefs of every community in Ozaukee County as well as Ozaukee County’s sheriff have recognized my efforts in this regard and support my re-election as Judge. I will be honored to have your continued support and your vote on April 2nd.
Presiding Judge, Ozaukee County
Tom R. Wolfgram
I don't buy the impartiality stuff.
Wolfgram blew it when he signed that petition.
Without question, Joe Voiland is the better candidate for Ozaukee County Circuit Court judge.
An autographed 8x10 photo of Jim Carrey is for sale on eBay.
The seller hopes to earn money to buy a gun.I'm selling this Jim Carrey Autographed B&W 8X10 Photo (mint condition) in hopes that I sell it for enough to buy a GUN to protect my family.
I'm thinking of getting the Glock G30S .45 ACP Pistol which retails for $640 U.S. Hopefully I can get at least that much for the autographed photo. If it sells for more than I'll get a laser sight for it and take some gun safety classes and get my "concealed carry" permit.
I lost all respect for Mr. Carrey after he released his "Cold Dead Hands" video mocking responsible gun owners and Charlton Heston.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment and my rights shall not be infringed! From MY cold dead hands Mr. Carrey!
I'm sure the seller doesn't really expect to get anywhere near $640 for that photo.
The current bid is $20. That reflects Carrey's popularity.
Former New England Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson is not a very nice man, and he's not very bright.
From ESPN:Former New England Patriots linebacker Ted Johnson apologized Friday after saying on a radio show that defensive lineman Vince Wilfork had the ugliest spouse of any of his former teammates.
Johnson, now a radio analyst in Houston, made the initial comment Friday morning on Houston sports radio station KILT. During a lighter segment on the show, Johnson was asked by a caller which of the guys he played with had the ugliest spouse.
"I got it. Yeah, I got it. This is a big, big man," Johnson said. "This guy had his way with the Texans this year. ... He won't hear this -- Vince Wilfork."
What a horrible thing to say!
Furthermore, it was incredibly stupid. "He won't hear this."
How could he think that the cruel statement he made on the radio wouldn't get back to Vince Wilfork?...Wilfork responded angrily on Twitter on Friday morning, writing an apology to fans in advance to how he would react to the news.
"I do not play when it comes to my family," he wrote.
Shortly after that, he tweeted, in part: "It is f----- up when a x-teammate that I looked up to and enjoyed playing with takes shots at my family. She is my everything. I don't care when this was said no one should cross that line."
Wilfork also wrote that he has "a great family life" and was "blessed to have them."
Johnson, who played with the Patriots from 1995-2004, tweeted this apology in several parts Friday afternoon:
"I just made a huge error in judgment and want to apologize to Vince and his wife for comments I made earlier today on a Houston radio show.
"Vince and his family are outstanding people who I have admired since they arrived in NE. I learned a big lesson today and feel terrible.
"I have personally apologized to the family and feel awful. It was a huge error in judgment and I'm sorry for upsetting Vince's family."
Bianca later tweeted a thank-you to her followers for their words of support and added, "I love me and I love that my husband loves me."
The ugly person in this matter is Ted Johnson. A 40-year-old man should know better than to say something so hurtful.
Apologizing was the right thing to do, but a good person would have never responded to such an inappropriate question and actually identified "the ugliest wife in the NFL."
It was a terrible question and unbelievable that Johnson gave an answer.
A history of concussions is no excuse. If Johnson's brain is truly messed up, he doesn't belong on the radio.
Also, it's a huge mistake for anyone to believe it's possible, in the age of the Internet, to say something about someone on the radio without that person finding out.
