Here is his article about our current First Lady.

What on earth can Michelle Obama possibly be tired from? What has she done since her husband was elected that gives her one reason to be tired? I know that flying, for the proletariat such as myself, can be tiring and, more times than not, a genuine pain - but she flies in presidential luxury, sans the president. And the only checkin' in and full-body scan she goes through at an airport is when she looks at herself in a mirror.

We, the taxpayers of this great nation, demand to know just what it is that has her royalness so worn out and tired, that after just enjoying a lavish 17-day Hawaiian Christmas vacation (that cost taxpayers $4 million), she needs another vacation at one of the most exclusive (and anti-union) resorts in the country.

It cannot be that she is overworked because, if the liberal Los Angeles Times is to be believed, between them, the Obamas have 454 White House aides, at a cost to the taxpayers of more than $37 million annually - and that doesn't include recent pay raises. (See: "No Recession For Obama's 454 White House aides: They'll make $37,121,463 this year"; Andrew Malcolm, July 5, 2011.) And before you ask - yes, that is more than President and Mrs. Bush had, and I was one of the lone voices decrying the small size and cost of Laura Bush's staff.

Could Ms. Obama still be suffering fatigue from the weight of having kept secret, for two years, her extravagant Halloween costume ball? Even though they used military families as a cover in case it got out, the last thing she wanted the public to know was that, while Americans were suffering in the depths of recession, she had the biggest players in Hollywood doing an exclusive costume party just for herself and her family.

Or perhaps it's the lingering effects of taking her mother and daughters to South Africa and Botswana, or the sheer exhaustion of rushing out of Washington, four hours ahead of her husband, so she wouldn't have to share her presidential jet with him on the way to Martha's Vineyard for their annual beach break.

Then again, maybe she was exhausted from her personal $50,000 underwear shopping spree with the queen of Qatar, at Agent Provocateur, the store that bills itself as selling "the most erotic lingerie in the world. Realizing that you're responsible for closing down Madison Avenue can be tiring, and watching staff carry all those bags back to her limousines. Whew! - that would sure wear me out. And after the tiring experience of picking out all of those exotic undies, what better place to recover than an uber-posh Vail resort and the private home owned by Paula and Jim Crown?

Or maybe she's worn out from rolling around on the floor to the delight of Ellen Degeneres, or making muscles on a daytime show, or pulling on a rope on another show, or eating at all of the restaurants where she loves to pig it up. Then again, maybe Ms. Obama is just an arrogant, high-minded person who doesn't give a rat's tail about propriety or how her behavior looks to a suffering public because, after all, her husband claims the economyis improving, and who are we going to believe - the reality of our financial situation or her husband?

Michelle Obama can afford to live life large since every dime she's spending comes on the backs and sweat of others. Nothing, zip, that she spends did she personally earn. And therein is the disgusting elitism of a woman who forgets where she came from, and dares you to remind her.

We are responsible for the billionaire life she lives, and it's time we started demanding that she be accountableto us. It's time we started confronting Obama at every press conference and/or speaking venue about the behavior of his wife. He is spending hundreds of millions of our money, flying around the country to raise a billion dollars for his campaign war chest, and we're paying $4 per gallon for fuel. We've lost our homes, our mortgages are upside-down, our property taxes aren't enough to cover the increasing cost of infrastructure because of the drain of resources by illegal aliens, and all of this is happening as the price of putting milk and cereal on our tables is rising dramatically.

But why shouldn't she be smiling??? For the first time in her adult life, she is proud of America - and why not? She has tens of millions of peons paying for her very own private reparations - now that's enough to put a smile on any elitist's face!

PASS IT ON !!!! (So other taxpayers can see how their dollars are being spent.)

So Clinton is going to tell how he taxed the rich... He yearly increased those paying at least 15% from $36,900 to $45,200 by the end of his term! I still disagree with the fact that those earning over $250K (in 1993) increased to $376,732(by 2001) were taxed at 39.6%!..... Notice how he raised how much you could earn before you were at the max bracket. And that is still not an outrageous 50%!!!!

Clinton started the "negative income tax"! Of course people loved him! He gave people who PAID NO TAXES a REFUND.

Do the math... You pay $0 in taxes and yet you get a check for $2k as a refund. So if 30% of Americans are paying absolutely not a dime in and yet they are receiving at least a $2K check from the IRS as a "refund", how much DEBT does that equal? How much "unapplied" welfare is that?

Of course Obama wants to rape the "more fortunate"?

I understand envy. I would love to have a 10-bedroom home. If nothing else, just to play hide and seek in but I can't. I understand that. I want a car that can run 180mph. I can't afford that. But I don't envy those who can so much to think its ok to take HALF of the income of those who have made themselves successful.

Why are Americans ok with taking from one to give to another? My mother may have taught me to share but she also to not hate others. She said its ok to want what others have but if you want that YOU have to make it happen. She said nothing is free... Or at least it use to be the only thing free was samples at the grocery store. Now, suddenly the less fortunate (and surprise! I am one of those) is entitled to something they didn't break a sweat for, didn't sit up at night trying to consider different plans on how to achieve the goal that would buy that massive home and fast car, and they didn't "risk it all on"?

Give me a break! I want my son learn if you want it then you have to work for it. That NOTHING is free! I want my son to enjoy the fruits of his labor!

I want him to learn to say GOD BLESS THE USA!

Dear Ms. Teacher,

Nathaniel told me he received some Johnsonville cash. I am aware that most parents are ignorant to the fact that they can object and refuse certain policies the school puts in place, such as this, but I am NOT one of those parents.

DO NOT GIVE MY CHILD REWARDS!

I have agreed to allow him to participate in Fun Friday as that appears to be a healthy activity for him. But I absolutely will not tolerate a reward behavior modification program. Such experiments only provide temporary, immediate positive results but many studies show negative long term results. And, of course, regardless of clinical studies, he is my child and I choose how he is taught discipline and manners.

If there is an issue with this feel free to contact me.

Thank you,


The Parent

Have you ever seen a sushi chef use gloves? Have you ever tried to roll food tight with gloves? I can't even make a PB&J while wearing gloves! And I'm allergic to peanuts and the smallest bit of peanut butter touching my hands flares up my eczema!

Gloves for food handlers for businesses that sell prepared food is not just an expensive penalty but its also impractical unless all you do is serve food using a spoon.

Good hand washing with soap and water is what hopefully people use at home and that is sufficient for businesses too!

Food prices are already jacking up. Those price increases are already showing up and will continue increasing at restaurants because of increasing food costs. The glove requirement WILL make the prices at restaurants go up even more!

North Carolina imposing more regulation that increases a business's cost even more is ridiculous!  Increases cost means increase prices which will impact businesses.
