(14,274 posts)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:
~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
I mean, DU used to recognize this kind of crap for what it is.

"Why can't everyone be as poor as me" is not an effective campaign slogan....as effective as feeling some burning.

Only the greedy, Wall St. Types and Corporatists look at that as "not Presidential." That's a bunch of hooey! The 99% GETS IT.
The hedonistic 80's are OVER. Greed is back to being what it should be - UGLY.
It's time for greatness -- not for greed. It's a time for idealism -- not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action.
