Just when I thought that this administration couldn't get any lower. They go and prove me wrong yet again.
Considering the attire that our "First "lady"" wears on any given normal day, you can't fault the child one bit.
HE WAS 10 YEARS OLD FOR GODS SAKE!!!

The office of Sen. Mike Crapo, Idaho Republican, is working with the Baker family to help them return to the White House, said press secretary Susan Wheeler.

"The senator was upset by the news," Ms. Wheeler said. "We want to make sure they are comfortable."

As long as the Senator and The Obama spend their money and not mine, I'm fine with that.  The moment they use tax dollars to cover the cost of the trip, I'm gonna howl.

Both have enough money for partisan political activity to drop a few thou on this.  That they will still garner positive press out of the deal does not bother me.

stay safe.

I understand your point, but just because the President disrespects his office doesn't mean that citizens should also.
I don't mean to say that the child intended disrespect, but isn't it common sense to dress up a little to go to the White House?

Didn't our current president hisself have casual every-days pretty much as soon as he moved his junk in his new crib? Leaving Hennessey rings on the pres desk next to his Hush Puppy heel marks and cigarette burns?

My bad. For some reason I was only thinking in terms of forum members. Error corrected.
Went back and re-re-read it. It was right there at the front, plain as day. I guess I am so used to doing that on my Facebook page it was simply a bad habit to break here. Is it OK to spit after I say/type it perchance?  ;)
