Obama arrives in Chicago to celebrate birthday with us footing the bill....

So what's the bill on one flight on Air Force One to make it home to be here by himself?

In a minute ;) Here's Michelles ROUNDTRIP FLIGHT TO SPAIN AND BACK WILL COST YOU AND ME $147,563...

Meanwhile, as he's doing this little 'Chicago One Nighter' to hang with the brutha's for a night and raise cash for the Broadway Bank Heister Alexi Giannoulias,  a man so low I wouldn't stop to spit on, Michelle is tearing up Spain, (which we of course are also footing the bill for what happens to be the 4th of 4 swanky vacations in a month's time), and before she even got there, there was a little racial dustup of course.

I say 'of course' since we all know it'd be a day without sunshine with this group going 'race card' free for a day.

They're printing in the British press that local Spaniards are a little 'pissed off' their pathetic local media's fawning over these people in a most 'Obamariffic undignified way' , one that sadly we've grown long but sickeningly accustomed to here in ObamaLand.

Michelle Obama and her nine-year-old daughter, Sasha, arrived in the Costa del Sol amid complaints from neighbouring towns that tourist authorities were fawning over the First Lady in an "undignified" way.

The wife and youngest daughter of Barack Obama, the US President, flew in from Washington DC on Air Force Two, along with a reported 70 secret service agents, following days of fevered speculation over the visit. more here

70 freakin Secret Service agents just for this. They could use them in Afghanistan instead of covering Big momma Michelle's Assistan.

Apparently, they had to strike some language from a website accusing the Spaniards of 'being racists so African Americans travel at their own risk' so she could land pretty much .

Then again I'm sure they're all aware that this group calls everyone racists, so that should come as no surprise ...

Staff at the U.S. State Department removed the contentious advice to travellers, which included the phrase 'racist prejudices could lead to the arrest of Afro-Americans who travel to Spain,' from its website on Monday.Read more

...but aside from that, what is brother Obama's little birthday trip costing you and I for about a 1 hour and 50 minute flight round trip with all the 'ups and extra's' at 66 thou an hour?

Around 270 thousand dollars. Happy Birthday Bro.

He's only about 20 miles away...hmmmm... ;)

Obama arrives in Chicago to celebrate birthday - Chicago Breaking News: "The President of the United States is celebrating his 49th birthday in Chicago without his wife and children but accompanied by at least one best friend -- Bo, his dog.

About 7:05 p.m. Obama left his house in a motorcade and after hitting a little traffic arrived at 7:31 p.m. at the graham elliot restaurant on the 200 block of West Huron Street in the River North neighborhood.
