Greta Van Susteren Continues The RIGHT WING ATTACK On Obama Vacations [View all]

[Segami]

Fox just can't help themselves. All that's old is new again with attacks on the Obamas for daring to go on vacation.

Greta Van Suffering.....another 'in-the-gutter' Faux reporter. Where were you when the criminal Bush Cabal was pillaging & driving this nation into the toilet? Oh yea, I forgot,... you were getting a very bad face lift......LOL!....



Cue the latest right wing outrage that these hypocrites never seemed to have had back when their hero George W. Bush was in office. Here we go again with vacation-gate redux like the one we saw back in 2010, when the wingnuts were screaming about first lady Michelle Obama and their trip to Spain. From Media Matters on that right wing freakout: Conservative media's attacks on Spain vacation based on falsehoods:

Conservative media are pushing the falsehoods that taxpayers picked up the tab for Michelle Obama's private vacation expenses in Spain and that 40 friends accompanied her and her daughter Sasha on the trip. In fact, the Obamas were accompanied by two of the first lady's friends and three of their daughters, and all of them, including the Obamas, reportedly paid for their own personal and travel expenses.

Go read the rest for the full list of talking heads that were screeching like banshees at the time. All that's old is new again. Here's Fox's Greta Van Susteren and how her network's blog covered this drummed up "controversy" this Monday: Off The Record: Greta Takes On the First Family's Lavish Spending:

In Greta Van Susteren’s Off the Record commentary tonight, she took on the First Family for setting a poor example.

After a two-week vacation, the White House sent out a press release saying that First Lady Michelle Obama will be staying in Hawaii.

The total cost of sending Air Force One to pick up Mrs. Obama and bring her back to D.C.: an estimated $800,000.

It is reportedly part of her birthday gift from the president. But as Greta noted, it’s the American taxpayers who are footing that bill. “It’s lavish. Is that a good message to send to Americans right now? I think not.”

I guess Van Susteren thinks the first lady should be flying coach. I want to know if any of these wingers ever complained about the costs when George W. Bush was in office if any of his family members dared to travel without him. I'm guessing the answer is never. I also think Van Susteran has been spending a little too much time around Sarah Palin, because her commentary above sounds like something the word-salad queen could have written for her.
