And the Bammer Family vacation exploits continue to amaze. This time it's daughter Malia who's taken 25 Secret Service agents and a small entourage of buddies for a little R&R in Mexico at a time when the Feds are warning Americans about traveling to our highly stable neighbor to the south of our border.

And oddly enough the stories about this are disappearing from the Internet about as quickly as they're posted.

Let me guess....Barrack the Magic Negro waved his wand and his bed buddies in the media agreed to pull them for - what - security reasons?

I can't take you serious when you throw in the "Magic Negro" part. Why do that? Obama has been a massive failure and hopefully he doesn't get another four years.

When I pull upt his link, there is an advertisement right next to the text of the article stating that:

"Barack Obama needs Your help" paid for by 'Obama for America'.

I find that hilariously ironic.....

The story has been pulled, that could mean that (i) it isn't true or (ii) the most transparent administration in history is once again being less transparent.

I've been to Mexico on a student trip - it was very educational, on the other hand you had to be a rising Junior in HS through graduating SR to attend. It was fun, Mexico City, Taxco and Acupulco (before it became a drug haven).

What does it say about Barry's decision-making ability as a father to allow his 13 year old daughter to travel to an area of the world that his own State Department is warning people to avoid? Apparently, he either doesn't understand why his own State Department makes such warnings or figures his 25-person Secret Service team can handle a few dozen Mexican drug lords in a gun battle. Either way, he approved his daughter to be put in danger and he's just fine with it as a father. And this guy is smarter than Palin???

In a more political nature, what if something had happened to his daughter? What would he do in Mexico? Would it be about National Security or would it be about vengeance for his family? Either way, it's clearly a question he never answered because if he had, there's no way he would have allowed his daughter to go. In today's economic fragility, is this a good use of millions of taxpayer dollars to provide security for a 13 year old? No wonder he wanted the story squashed from his sycophant media.

Anyone who picked (ii) is the winner. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/white-house-admits-to-asking-news-agencies-to-pull-malia-obama-vacation-story/

Here's the deal that liberals don't undestand. After eight years of belly-aching about Bush and all the claims that Obama was going to be the greatest thing of slice bread, it is natural for the non-Obama people to chime in. To use a sports analogy, if Andrew Luck is a bust in Indianapolis, criticism will be justified given all the hype he got for two years prior to his ascendency.

False. There are no warnings for the areas they are reportedly in.

"USG personnel and their families are allowed to travel for personal reasons to the areas where no advisory is in effect or where the advisory is to exercise caution. "

Oaxaca: Oaxaca, Huatulco and Puerto Escondido are the major cities/travel destinations in Oaxaca -see map (PDF, 286 kb) to identify their exact locations: No warning is in effect.
Puebla: No advisory is in effect.
Queretaro: No advisory is in effect.

Whats your point? Is it you think his daughter would not be safe? First of all not every state in Mexico are on the watch out list. Secondly I think the warning applies to everyday Americans,not high ranking public officials or there families. About the media not talking about this ,so what. Is this actually news worthy material . Oh my bad it might be for your neo nazi friends on FOX news . Another thing I think its stupid that we have a dont travel warning to Mexico . How stupid is that . If your into bad stuff then bad stuff is going to possibly happen to you . If your in a highly infected drug trafficing area its on you . This is a stupid petty beef on you . Now go brush up on your "Mein Kamph" and listen to some more Nazi march songs ,while your having sex with yourself while watching FOX news.

Let's see, you mentioned FOX NEWS and compared conservatives to Nazi's. You forgot the obligatory Rush Limbaugh reference and cries of racism that is required in every liberal response.

While Obama is an awful president, he has the most stressful job in the world.

Taking a vacation isn't that big of a deal. Get over it people.

He isn't even on vacation is he? It's his daughter and her friends I believe.

You do know we're talking about his daughter here, right. Is her job as a 13 year old student so stressful she needs a Mexican vacation that costs the taxpayers millions -- and the money isn't even being spent in this country to help support travel and tourism here? I rather doubt it.

And this.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_the_Magic_Negro
The magical Negro is an archetype which was first applied to presidential candidate Obama by movie and culture critic, David Ehrenstein, in a Los Angeles Times op ed column of March 19, 2007. According to Ehrenstein, the magical Negro is a non threatening black hero in the popular media, usually the cinema, who was invented to ease feelings of white guilt over slavery and racial injustice. He is noble and devoid of sexual motives, and appears suddenly, out of nowhere, to magically solve the problems of white people.

Ehrenstein opined that "Obama's fame right now has little to do with his political record or what he's written in his two books, or even what he's actually said". Rather, Obama was a popular contender for the presidency because whites were projecting their "fantasies of curative black benevolence" on him.
Sorry for my political incorrectness. Well not really.

I am retarded. Didn't even read the thread. Just saw obama vacation and figured it was him.

On that note, I now agree with everyone's complaints.
