It's poetic -- and likely -- that He came to "dwell among us" during the Feast of Tabernacles in September, when the Israelites celebrated their delivery from slavery in Egypt.  "Dwell" and "tabernacle" are from the same word. September would also be the only time of the year -- between harvest and planting -- when shepherds would be allowed to be in the fields with their flocks, grazing on the remains left from harvest. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us . . .”

Women of color have to defend our men! Now, they make fun of Imelda because they say she had lots of shoes. Is it wrong for women of color to have more than one pair of shoes?

She didn't have to spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars hauling her ass to Spain. She didn't have to embarrass the country by foisting herself on the Spanish royals and showing up looking like she was ready to shop at WalMart. And since this person she is so sympathetic to isn't an elected official and has no right to have gobs of tax money spent on her leisure, then the Obamas should reimburse the country for the entire cost of the trip.

Call it the fringe benefits of the top job: when dad is the president of the US, then mom taking the girls off on a cultural expedition means a lot more than filling up the SUV and setting off for the airport. No wonder Michelle Obama’s sudden penchant for showing First Daughters Malia and Sasha bits and pieces of Europe has tarnished the Obama gloss a bit.

Seems to me I recall those people as being mostly Middle Eastern, Iraqi, Iranian, etc. Sort of like the group that MOO met with in Marbella, which probably included Khashoggi, various princes of ME banking countries, and the Governor of Riyadh. The list is on one of the links in this thread. I can't find it right now, but it screams money-funnelling. So perhaps Obama has seen the writing on the wall, and in the polls, and is making sure he has a nicely funded retirement, with more than his presidential pension. After all, that pension is <i>only</i> $190,000 a year, not nearly enough to fund their new lifestyle. And I can't see Obama actually doing any work to add to it, work isn't something he doesn't know how to do. And I doubt Moo will be getting a job, either. These trips were about money, not birthdays or vacations. Greed, the motivating factor for both the Obamas.
