Won’t these thieves have to disclose their expense accounts at some point?…a good reporter could certainly make his name if they’d go after the story.

Won’t these thieves have to disclose their expense accounts at some point?…a good reporter could certainly make his name if they’d go after the story. Can’t think of anyone at this point cranky enough to do it but Helen Thomas. Shhh, let’s start the rumor.

Has Meanshelle disclosed her bills for that little shopping trip with the children to Paris? Isn’t she supposed to itemize play time vs. first lady obligations and pay back accordingly?

Let me throw this out:::

If by some miracle the normal people of this nation get the Democrats out of congress and senate, is it too late to fix the problems that they are creating for us now?

Next Question : How is the Republican party that really has no idea how to do it.. are they going to do it?
