Especially how they used a lot of paragraphs,

must be why they repeated the line at the end...

Ah the transformation from man of the people to plutocrat has begun.

The president

gets charged

at the White House?

Didn't know

that.

The President-elect will also have to get used to handing his glass to a Secret Service agent every time he has a drink outside the White House. The agent carries a small bag in which to pop the glass and later he destroys it.

The idea is to ensure that no unauthorised person has access to the Presidential DNA, but it is not clear how an enemy would use it.

Cool.

Don't worry about the meal charges. All the money coming in from the Civilian National Security Force fines from citizens not displaying Dear Leader's picture properly in their home will cover for that.

Destro will use some of Obama's DNA in conjunction with genetic material fro, some of history's greatest heroes and villains in order to create a genetic superbeing capable of leading C.O.B.R.A to greater glory and conquest.

This was obviously put in place after the Clinton administration.

I saw a special on this on Food Network once. Apparently someone decided that tax payers shouldn't have to pay for the first families daily meals since we are already providing the president with a salary.

That's lame. Bush has the secret service bag up his dookie and destroy it later whenever he drops a twosie outside of the White House. Speculation is because his movements are... well... "epic", if you will.

Orgy!

FTA:
Obama will be given a set of panic buttons: One for his pocket, one on his desk and one beside his bed. They are credit card-shaped and simply have to be squeezed to summon a posse of agents.

At one time, the President and Vice-President were given three-inch-high models of the Washington Monument to put beside their beds. They had simply to knock them over to summon the guards.

But the models were abandoned after Vice-President Dan Quayle - noted for being clumsy - knocked his over late one night while making love to his wife.

In seconds, the door burst open, the lights went on and Mrs Quayle was thrown out of bed to the floor as bodyguards flocked around her husband to ensure his safety.

Too funny!

What was a naked Tipper Gore doing attacking Dan Quayle?

I'm very excited for Michelle. Picking out new china is so much fun.

I thought America was founded to get away from a monarchy. Looks like we're evolving right back to one.

African theme colors and designs, basket ball courts?? Really?? Its the WHITE HOUSE lets keep it that way. I don't want your culture and diversity muddying up my purified image of America. Next thing you know there is gonna be spinners on air force one and giant clocks hanging on the secret service agents.

The part about Dan Quayle making love to his wife was funny.

{several more paragraphs of drivel}

Yikes, what's that going to be like having someone stand outside the bathroom every single time he has to go??? And imagine being the SS dude who has to LISTEN to that??? ugh.

Glad to hear Obama will be safe.

I understand the meal thing, my question is how much are they charged? Or is it assumed that it isn't a real issue as every president should be filthy rich from the bribes donations they receive? I mean he is a millionaire from his book, but at 30 bucks per meal, for 4 members of the family, 3 times a day. That is 360 dollars. 360x365 is something like 131,000 per year. Then they pay for dry pressing/cleaning every time they take off their clothes. I think my dad pays 12 for his suite (I have no idea honestly what suites run, I never have that done myself.) He wears say 2 different outfits a day, it slowly adds up.

Am I over thinking this?

That is ridiculous charging the First Family room service charges. It seems so petty when you look at the total costs of maintaining the Presidential Palace, and the Praetorian guard.

I would make sure there was a kitchenette, and go grocery shopping. Grandma could live in and cook meals for the family, and do the laundry just to make a statement. Does the President get a check at the State dinners?

Can't be as bad as having to change Reagan's diaper or cleaning up W's dookie from the middle of the floor like that one tarded kid everyone went to high school with.

We finally got a piece of the pie!

I just looked this up about Presidential meal service:

"The President and First Lady are charged for all meals and incidentals, but the President gets an expense account for those costs."

So, what's the point?

I see what you did there Subby, and it's ++++++

I guess so it's itemized. Transparency and all that.

What President Obama's daily life will be like and how Dan Quayle got the Secret Service to protect him from a wild naked she-beast

Palin?

It does seem absurd to charge them room service... considering that a single visit outside the WH probably costs more than what the First Family would spend in an entire year.

FTFA: Barack wants to remove the plasma TV from the famous Lincoln bedroom. Instead, he wants guests to read.

At least Dear Leader has one good idea. Americans should stop watching so much "reality" TV.

It probably works like an allowance. They're allowed up to so much, but once that's gone then they have to start paying out of pocket. Probably to keep them from eating the most expensive thing they can think of all the time just because they can.

The secluded Camp David residence will be available for some down-time where the family will be able to ski and relax - but with a team of bodyguards in proximity.

and a company of Marines.

Has nothing to do with Obama himself, nor is he the first (or last) to receive such treatment.
