Subj: THE LONDON PAPER ON OBAMA'S OFFICIAL VISIT What a display of arrogance! These two, Michelle and Barry, act like kids in a candy store---and its our candy that they are squandering by taking 500 of their closest friends to London. Just think, we are nearly bankrupt and Obama takes 500 staffers for a 3-day "official visit" to the UK. If you're not sure what "big government" is, take a look at this. But you have already read about this in your local newspaper. You didn't? Okay then, you saw it on CNN? No? Gee, I wonder why our media is failing to report these facts to the American people? You and I may never see health care again the way it used to be, but "Emperor Obama" took six (6) doctors with him for a 3-day visit to London - along with 494 other essential staff. groups.yahoo.com/group/Robert_Alonso/message/29941 |

My relatives in London can't believe what an ass this guy is. I told them 'what do they expect from people who are trash"? Goes with the territory.

Subj: THE LONDON PAPER ON OBAMA'S OFFICIAL VISIT What London paper? You didn't link to a news article but to somebody's rant -- not just anybody's rant but the rant of someone who clearly is an Obama hater. I cannot imagine why that rant, absent a link to the original story, is worth posting. Absent the link and some context, it might as well be an 8 year old's temper tantrum for all the value it adds to a meaningful discussion. Yoda out... . |

I tried googling the title and found more than 26,000 links -- most of which seemed to be spreading the story. I did find one thing that suggested that the article that triggered all this might be from the London Daily Mail. Here's a link to their home page -- www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.htmlThe three lead stories were about a mass shooting in Hawai'i, about how Paris Hilton is mad a Barbara Walters and about how a "Hangover actor who plays CSI Las Vegas police officer 'pretends to be real cop to get sex' with hotel masseuse". Then there was the front page story of how a woman's leg was crushed while having sex in a graveyard when a tombstone fell over on her. It might be a perfectly respectable paper but to me, it looks as if the Daily Mail has a lot in common with the National Enquirer. I have a Brit who works for me and, when I went to London a few years ago, she asked me to bring back to her all the scandal sheets I could find. The more outrageous the better. I don't remember whether or not the Daily Mail was one that I brought but, based on the fist page of their website, I wouldn't exactly put them up there with the world's great journalistic outlets. That doesn't mean that there is no truth to the claim that Obama took 500 people to London. I have no idea about that. And if he did, I have no idea why he did. Perhaps there were serious security concerns in the immediate wake of the Bin Laden killing. Perhaps it was partly an economic mission that would generate more in export sales (and resultant income taxes) than the trip cost. I don't know. But you sure won't find out reading scandal sheets.

Yoda out... . You must not be very good at selecting terms to search. Here is the first link on the search that I constructed. jkshaws.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/obamas-last-trip-to-london-he-took-500-staff-200-secret-service-agents-and-much-more/I think you guys spend to much time trying to figure out a reason to support that idiot spending machine. Go ahead and vote for him next time if he is still on the ballot. Nice little rant however. |

Well, if a second right wing blogger posts about it must be true.  |

Like I said, I found over 26,000 links -- but not a link to the original story. Your blogger, while good as gold for you I'm sure, is not the source of the original story. I'll be a lot more impressed if you can find the unnamed "London paper" that the title references. Yoda out... . |

Quite so. If aztecwin posts a blog from reactionary websites then it must be true. He never trolls just to annoy people. |

Just because they sniff out and report the truth does not make them bad, only anti liberal. I do see and understand how the truth can annoy a liberal. |

I thought this seemed familiar, win. That was the big story July 2010. Can't find something new to bitch and moan about? Maybe you should bring up Valerie Plame? |

Now that I found the source that you could not, you want to change the subject. Typical liberal! Just like Weiner, you never admit anything till you get caught. |
