You also have to consider that the same Warren Buffett that advocates tax hikes has fought the IRS for the past ten years when it comes to paying his.

“You also have to consider that the same Warren Buffett that advocates tax hikes has fought the IRS for the past ten years when it comes to paying his.”

Got that right Rocky, to me Warren Buffett is a hypocrite, since he’s advocating for increasing taxes, why don’t he open up his check-book and send hundreds-thousands of dollars to our national treasury!

And Debbie, it makes me laugh whenever you refer Michelle Obama as/to “Ms. Thang”, it’s pretty funny and I don’t find it offensive. Some folks just have to acknowledge sarcasm and ridicule instead of using emotions and feelings.

DS – she may have trainers for those arms of hers, but they sure haven’t been working the abs too much. That’s some baby belly bump she’s got. Moochie must have been eating more of Paula Deen’s cooking.

Off topic (kinda) – isn’t it interesting that B. Hussein is heading off on the campaign trail right after this speech and right after the Navy Seals rescue some hostages and take out some somali pirate scum? Coincidental?

It’s a hell of a lot better than the old lady frumpy dresses that the former first ladies have worn!

Lee on January 25, 2012 at 2:31 pm

Well, Lee indirectly has gotten to the point that I wanted to make.

Of course, a large part of the problem is the exhibitionist nature of Mrs. Obama’s personality, her narcissism. But there is also an enabling aspect tied to the women’s lib movement.

Before women’s lib, first ladies were more discreet, and I guess maybe as Lee suggests, they wore ‘old lady frumpy dresses’; — like most liberals, Lee has contempt for older people.

But now, with women’s lib, we were plagued by Hillary, Laura Bush )anybody opposing Harriet Miers was a sexist) and now Michelle, all of whom came of age during the women’s lib movement. Just another way this movement has hurt the taxpayers.

Little Al on January 25, 2012 at 3:35 pm

Only if said “old lady frumpy dresses” cost in the neighborhood of $2500. But that’s not why I’m posting here. This is: To remind that Lee is not lee–not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Oops, forgot to enter the “Reply” under Lee’s post

Right on Debbie!!! This fraud makes me sick!!!!

Hollywood on January 25, 2012 at 6:42 pm

Lower-Case lee, I am so glad you rebutted the upper case Lee. I think you should be the Lee of choice at DS.com. And Little Al, perfect post per usual.

I can’t stand the hypocrite and dog-faced MLRHOIAD. She is revolting and she is a perfect example of why I hate Liberals and how I came to hate them. I hate her because she hates us and tries to hide it. Those paying attention know the real deal. I wonder if Desiree Rogers would ever consider dobbing on her in a book? I’d read it!

I am sick and tired of this tax smoke and mirrors. Why doesn’t that old goat voluntarily pay MORE taxes? The “Buffet Rule” is NOT a law so I hope Hussein Obama shoves it up his clacker.

I had forgotten about old goat Buffet in the tax standoff with the IRS. Nice to see almost everyone ignoring that point in the media. Conservatives included.

We all know the gubment has a spending problem. We are at a tipping point and they will NOT stop spending. They ignore the “Laffer Curve” too. I think it’s heinous that the gubment takes more than 10% of people’s money. And they practically burn it as they burn through it.

Obama and his surly wife lie, lie, lie and it’s nauseating to see so many pretend they don’t. They are cheap-skates too and give a small amount to charity.

Any one knows why Debbie calls Moochelle Idi Amin Dadas? is that her maiden name? anyway all cost of wardrobe aside some one should tell her how out of place she looks with this ridiculous colored dresses….gosh gaudy is an understatement,I find it extremely difficult to respect this woman,she was supposed to be a lady but she is anything but…..

Here is the solution for all this tax BS.

CaliforniaScreaming on January 25, 2012 at 7:30 pm

On April 14th, will this conversation happen?Warren: “Debbie, my valued secretary, how much are you paying for federal taxes for 2011?”
Debbie: “Mr. Buffett, I am paying $15,000 for last year’s taxes on my wages, sir.”
Warren: “Ok, I will talk to payroll about it”
On April 15th, Mr. Buffett approached Debbie and hands her an envelope, says “Here is a check for $15,000 – after tax with-holdings. I hope you don’t mind. I also sent a matching check to that “Gifts to the United States” address I found on U.S. Treasury’s website. I hope you don’t mind.”
Debbie: “Thank You Mr Buffett. I appreciate bonus you just gave me.”

Seeing Moochelle’s iridescent purple cocktail dress at this formal event reminded me of the old expression “It looked like a diamond in a goat’s a$$”

Duck on January 25, 2012 at 8:05 pm

No prob lee and Juan!

Feminism is bad and so is not knowing the truth and facts. Let me quickly site an example I saw today that made me shake my head in amazement .

Was thumbing through a stupid magazine today that took dumb polls. They asked the survey-takers who they would rather work for, Michele Bachmann or Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton had more takers. :O

Would serve the survey-takers right to have to work under Cankles Clinton! They obviously have no idea how she treated those under her or how she looked down on the Military. You gotta laugh at ANYONE in 2012 who thinks Cankles Clinton is a benign sort!

(I have heard that Bachmann is NOT easy to work for but I have no idea if that was just anti-Republican gossip. Even if true, I’d still rather work for MB)

Skunky on January 25, 2012 at 9:08 pm

Spot on as usual, Debbie.

I going to make a prediction that I hope that I’m wrong on. That is either Media Matters for America and/or other left wing websites will write a post about and against you for you dare to criticize the goddess Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Hussein Obama Idi Amin Dada’s, including for you saying her full name. Wait a minute. It looks like that I just did the same thing.

Oh well. It’s a good thing that we don’t care what MMMFA, et al thinks. 🙂

JeffE on January 25, 2012 at 11:25 pm

Should be MMFA.

JeffE on January 25, 2012 at 11:26 pm

I guess I should make one more clarification about the apparent contridiction of why I hope my prediction is wrong while at the same time saying that I don’t care what they think. It’s because I don’t want their trolls to lurk here and write crap about Debbie.

JeffE on January 25, 2012 at 11:31 pm

Now all she needs is a pair of golden shoes like Queen Rania – wonder whether Buffet would agree to foot that bill. But the other thing I noticed about her was that she was wearing a blue dress – remember who else’s blue dress was pretty famous? 😉

Infidel on January 26, 2012 at 4:38 am

devastating critique. Nice work, Debbie. This says more than all the Republican rebuttals about what phony populists those two are.

This is a vote mover, Debbie. All the best.

bobguzzardi on January 26, 2012 at 9:30 am

Buff arms are easy to get. They always do some of the work so
it’s the first thing that grows on you when you start working out. But, I gotta say, the dress looked pretty damn good.
The filler, well that’s another story.

Seriously Moochelle,

Another day, another place,
you might have looked divine.
But seeing a man inside that dress
just really blows my mind.

Tiffany on January 27, 2012 at 12:49 am

Debbie. You are right about the attention.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Soetero, do the attention grabbing thing, because they are former gadflies, professors, do nothing office workers, street organizers, that have never had the benefit of developing their character. Yes, they have no moral compass or character development. They need this attention to convince themselves they are important. Concern for others is not on their list of daily good deeds.

they mentally attach themselves to rich guys like buffet and Gates and wear expensive stuff and travel to expensive places like trailer trash, that won the lottery.

Yes, I said it.

They are just low life inconsiderate, selfish, angry couple that stuck it rich in politics. Others may call them the proverbial “empty suit and empty dress”

They are similar in that way to the Clintons, coming out of Little rock and taking the media by storm until Bill and his little head became public and his disgusting character could not be kept a secret any longer.

Hopefully we will have a president (soon)_ that is comfortable in his own body, has character and takes back what is left of the country I love.

I believe our Constitution has been usurped by the federal government since around 1890. Politicians are corrupted by their very vocations. I am a libertarian by nature. I stumbled on this thread while looking for an understanding of why the United States noticed the atrocities of Sadam and not those of Idi. I was saddened at the vituperative comments regarding the First Lady. I believe in both the ‘Golden Rule’ and Karma; I hope that you all find peace in yourselves. Namaste.

barbara sherman on July 13, 2012 at 7:14 pm

Yiu should be ashamed of yourself for this article. How dare you distort someone’s (good) name in order to create a the appearance that they in collusion with evil. Your article reeks of jealousy. How do you look at yourself in the mirror or sleep at night?

Astute observations on this behavior Ms. Schlussel, and an interesting edge to the aesthetic aspect. Civilized comportment for the thoroughly attractive, e.g., Jackie Kennedy was standard. More is the love. Even Edie and Edith Bouvier of Grey Gardens knew that was the rule. Now there are finger measurement photo experiments online attempting to determine if your first lady (Ha, Ha, Idi Amin Dada!) is actually female. But also, working from Barbet Schroeder’s 1974 documentary, “General Idi Amin Dada” with other historical and journalistic sources, it may be possible to establish a total statistical unit of compound destruction. One unit of IAD, for instance, as the sum of; social, economic, juridical and industrial destruction both national and hinterland. A complex, yet not impossible professional actuarial task. With known units, proportions could be established between the two administrations across history. So as to rationally, calmly ask, how many IAD units to date from within the Obama administration?
