This is so utterly shameful, we almost don’t know what to say.
We have never seen the White House so filthy and in such a state of disrepair. Why is there garbage piled up just outside the Palm Room like this?
We know the current First Lady demands lavish weekly cocktail parties, where she can karaoke to performances by Stevie Wonder, stuffed into one of her upholstery fabric frocks, thinking she’s Beyonce, behaving like a spoiled, greedy child playing dress-up.
We know the current President treats America’s enemies with the utmost respect, and bows happily before Muslim royals and Emperors of countries that waged war upon the US. So, it’s no surprise he’d treat a peaceful, benevolent ally of the United States, and all democracies, such as the Dalai Llama with such disrespect.
Forcing this man to leave via the garbage chute, like he was livestock, an actual llama, is mortifying.
Which door do William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Oprah, Bertha Lewis (ACORN), and the head of the SEIU use when they come and go from the White House?
If anyone deserves to be thrown out with the garbage, it’s these people. NOT the Dalai Llama.
Actually, if we’re talking about who REALLY deserves to be thrown out of the White House like garbage, we’d need to start with the two people responsible for the condition of the people’s house currently.
Shameful.
*********
UPDATE: This is almost as bad as what Dr. Utopia’s supporters did to the National Mall on Inauguration Day. Remember?
********
UPDATE:
Looking at all the trash piled up outside the White House, like it was Milan during a seasonal Italian garbage union strike, we couldn’t help thinking about Michelle Obama’s wardrobe.
That giant white garbage bag, little blue garbage bags, and brown garbage bag behind the Dalai Llama are prettier than some of the outfits that woman has actually worn.
White = can be the majority of a dress for her, and be prettier fabric than Jason Wu used for her inaugural gown (for which he sewed together old coffee filters)
Blue = The blue bags or things can be the shoulder pads, Joan Crawford style, to draw attention away from her rump and tummy
Brown = The brown garbage bag can be made into a little hat, with a pumpkin style top. Inside, there could be all manner of treasures from which to make her jewelry. Coffee cups. Pencils. Paperclips. Soda cans.
Everything much nicer than what she pays $10,000-20,000 per “outfit” for.
Wouldn’t it be fun to photoshop Mrs. Utopia wearing all this garbage?
Instead of garbage, we could say it was Bergdorf’s delivering her latest “outfit” for whatever lavish party she’s throwing next, with the thermostat set to 79 degrees in winter.

February 19, 2010 at 4:41 pm
I thought Rush was joking when he mentioned this—I can’t believe the absolute disrespect this callow tasteless shallow little man in the white house has for a figure like Dalai Lama. You don’t have to be a Buddhist or whatever to respect this great man. Cripes. O-hole is such an embarassment.
February 19, 2010 at 4:45 pm
AMEN to AFinch and a. marie.
February 19, 2010 at 7:47 pm
“O-hole!” hahahahahahhahahahhahahahaha!!! Perfect.
February 20, 2010 at 9:34 am
You have to understand that the False Messiah only honors dictators, and emperors , arab kings and seeks to sit down with sanguinary lunatics..not a peaceful Budhist with no real power.
February 19, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Think of the Dalai Lama’s WH exit route as yet another ‘bow.’. This one to the ChiComs (who pretty much literally own the WH in all respects these days).
The Chinese did NOT want Barry dallying with the Dalai so this UTTER SHAME INDUCING DISRESPECT of a man of great peace should not come as a surprise. A nauseating expectation…yes.
By the way, today Limbaugh said he would imagine he would ‘gift’ the Dalai with a set of Presidential cufflinks…(For the non buttoned down spiritual leader). One probably says ‘Hope’ the other ‘Change’ (my tweak to elRushbo’s joke).
February 19, 2010 at 4:45 pm
This is just unbelievable. Obama is just turning America into a third world country.
We need to vote people into the House and Senate who will impeach this man.
February 19, 2010 at 5:56 pm
No he isn’t. Third World countries have too much self-respect to act the way Obama does.
February 19, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Words escape me.
February 19, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Ditto. Where are the “free tibet” people who more then likely adore O-hole.
February 21, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Apparently they’re (conveniently) speechless as well.
February 19, 2010 at 4:51 pm
The White House of the United States of American and not a single person puts the trash away from the building. This is so disgusting!
Next thing, we will see pictures of barfy and associates standing outside the door smoking. Oh wait, they already do that.
I am ashamed of my government.
February 19, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I do not have one good thing to say about the Obamas and have not since Day One. However, it may be that since Washington has been inundated with 30″ of snow and snow and more snow, garbage removal has been a problem. With that being said, and if that was/is the case, garbage should not be left in the way when a guest visits – there are other places it could have been kept while waiting for pickup or whatever. Just a thought.
February 19, 2010 at 5:36 pm
You are right about the snow storms and the problems with trash removal. You also have a lot more common sense than does the Obama WH, there had to be a better place to put the trash or at least another exit for our Nation’s guest.
February 19, 2010 at 9:27 pm
They sure have been moving the Obamas around the country with no problem, they sure could have moved some trash out as well ?
February 20, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Sounds like they were already “moving trash out”….. 0>;~}
February 19, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I imagine that garbage removal WAS delayed due to the blizzard, but that was how many days ago? 7? 10??
I don’t ever recall in my adult life here in Michigan, seeing garbage pile up like that because of a blizzard.
If it did it would be in a dumpster a good distance from the back door.
Disgusting.
February 19, 2010 at 6:47 pm
I’d haul it somewhere MYSELF before I’d have it parked outside any of my doors. I guess the people who knew how to take care of things were all sent packing or quit. Knowing about the walls being covered with Obama’s pictures was bad–but this is awful.
February 19, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Well, there may be a snow removal problem for the rest of D.C.- BUT… this is the “white house” not just the regular “city garbage collectors”. I’m sorry, but you can’t convince me that the problems with snow removal the rest of the city might encounter would extend to the W.H.
BTW, all that garbage is probably all the junk after all the wild and extravagant parties. Probably linen tablecloths that are full of O drunken vomit.
February 19, 2010 at 5:48 pm
It’s the White House for goodness’ sake, the snow blizzard argument would make sense for people living in those impossibly narrow side streets in Philly and Balmer that still aren’t dug out – but the President’s house should be ship shape at all times.
It’s not like the President is dependent on a crack-smoking mayor for street plowing and cleaning services. What a travesty.
February 19, 2010 at 5:05 pm
This has been bugging me all day long; why on EARTH did they send this man literally out the back door where they dump the trash and things are delivered, when he could have walked out through the Colonade and gone out the door just past the press room to meet with the press.
It is beyond belief that they did this to the Dalai Lama.
This had to have been done on purpose to keep him out of the West Wing.
February 19, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Unreal. The disrespect leaves me speechless.
February 19, 2010 at 5:06 pm
This reminds me of the stark contrast between the TEA Party participants and the inauguration participants. Those who have respect for this country and each other is quite evident.

I was there on 9.12.2009 — everyone was careful not to leave trash and to make sure if anyone needed medical aide or somebody’s kid got misplaced for a few minutes the whole crowd was attentive to that. There were maybe 15 port-a potties for 2 million people. The energy of the crowd was that ‘We will prevail’.
February 19, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Now I see, this is what O meant when he said he’d restore America’s image and standing in the world. A trash heap.
Thinking of a caption … “The Obama White House: Making a Mess of Things.”
Or: “Obama: Trashing the White House.”
Or: “Obamanomics: Even the Janitors Have Lost Their Jobs.”
Or: “There’s a Lot of Garbage to Be Removed From the White House.” “Do We Need a Clean-Up Crew at the White House?”
Hmmmm … The captions do rather write themselves on this one.
February 19, 2010 at 5:11 pm
The good news is that Drudge has this story right at the top of the page.
It will get a lot of attention and I’m sure will disgust many, many people.
Even Utopia’s ‘defenders’ and the LSM can’t explain this one away.
Shameful doesn’t BEGIN to describe this situation!
I only wish the two ‘first’ occupants would climb into a couple of Jumbo-sized bags themselves!
February 19, 2010 at 6:45 pm
And we’re set to hear from Richard Gere in three…two…one…
February 19, 2010 at 5:14 pm
This man child is beyond disgusting. It horrifies me to see the Dalai Lama treated with such disrespect. You don’t have to agree with his religious views to show the man dignity – he stands for human rights, religious freedom and peace for mankind. With principles like that no wonder Obama sneaks him out the back door. Obama’s lack of substance and culture is on full display in this picture.

February 19, 2010 at 5:15 pm
*speechless* I’d read about this, but seeing it. . . how shameful! How absolutely embarrassing that our “Dear Leader” treats anyone this way, much less the Dalai Lama!
February 19, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Who places a garbage bag in a walkway? It looks like they flung open an upstairs window and tossed it out.
February 19, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Yes right before they emptied the chamberpot onto the lawn.
February 19, 2010 at 6:46 pm
LOL!
February 19, 2010 at 7:45 pm
ok, that was too funny! LOL!
February 19, 2010 at 5:23 pm
With it on Drudge, they will have to respond; I’m sure they’ll find somebody on the regular White House staff to blame it on rather than one of their own.
February 19, 2010 at 10:15 pm
Did you see the look of disgust “on the White House Chief of Protocol Capricia Marshall as she and the Dalai Lama pass by a pile of garbage near the West Wing?” – Fox News
February 19, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Clearly they could have created 20 new jobs to haul away the trash.
February 19, 2010 at 5:45 pm
STIMULUS!
February 19, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Reminds me of the Boyz’s contrasting past First Ladies with MEchelle. This was Crass and not in any way shape or form Classy!! Disgusting!
February 19, 2010 at 5:25 pm
I’m not above thinking our current President is a mean spirited petty little man.
However, I lay this gaffe at the feet of his crappy, half-ass staff. They don’t do anything well. It’s not like the President decided which door to use; I’m sure it’s that wreck of a social secretary that sent the Dalai Lama out this door. I’m sure -she- did it on purpose, as the Dalai rocks a frock way better than the “womyn” of the WH.
I do lay the responsibility for the continued employment of the crappy staff, or crappy czars, or crappy cabinet members, at the feet of the President. After all, he “accepts responsibility,” doesn’t he.
Now, back to the Blame Bush for Not Training Me In the Wily Ways of Common Sense Manners meme.
February 19, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Just like with McCain and the “staff’s treatment of Palin,” I do NOT give iObama a pass on this one. The respect or disrespect the staff has is a direct reflection of the respect or disrespect the “master” has.
The buck stops at iObama whether he likes it or not.
(And this going out to Nevada so he can get away from the messy business of governing just frosts me even more. You were elected to do the messy business of governing, Dumbo! Stop whining about it. You wanted it. You got it.)
February 19, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Speaking of Nevada, and Las Vegas in particular, I am soooo proud of Mayor Oscar Goodman (aka Mayor Vodka Martini) for snubbing B’Utopia.
The Prissydent’s thoughtless and idiotic remarks screwed the city when it most needed the convention business.
Three cheers for Mayor Goodman!
February 19, 2010 at 11:09 pm
He’s standing up to the Chicago Thug.
LOVE IT!
February 20, 2010 at 11:04 am
The staff probably thought that “It’s not my job” “Somebody else will take care of it” or forgot that little detail altogether. We ARE talking about 20 somethings here.
February 19, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Tammy Bruce said there was trash in the white house. I guess she was more right than we knew!

How did these idiots become our FIRST COUPLE!
So BAD, SO SAD!
February 19, 2010 at 5:37 pm
What is happening to respect? This picture makes me sick to my stomach and embarrassed to admit the man child in the WH is our president. 2012 can’t get here fast enough..
February 19, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Barry and Shelly have NO class at all. If (and that’s a BIG if) the garbage is there because of the snow, etc., fine. But you don’t send a guest out past the trash.
But then, the guest had to MEET trash when he shook hands with the current President of the United States. Perhaps he had gotten used to trash by the time he’d exited the building.
February 19, 2010 at 7:50 pm
“Shelly”!!!!! Oh.My.Gawd!! Love it!! :)
February 19, 2010 at 5:55 pm
The garbage living inside the White House smells just as bad as the garbage outside.
February 19, 2010 at 5:57 pm
This brings “Trashing the White House” to a whole new level.
February 19, 2010 at 5:59 pm
The 0Bamster could have met with him across the street at the Blair House and not thru the back garbage door….the classless arrogant one!
February 19, 2010 at 6:09 pm
I came back to look at this again, and can only say is, Point 1: if the President of the United States can’t get the trash picked up at the White House, who exactly is running this Country. Does anyone know what Union handles the trash pick up at the White House? Point 2: I think not only does China have Obama by the cojones, but they didn’t even have to squeeze to get him to participate in this travesty . If I knew who to apologize to for the lack of class and hospitality, I would…I would even do an Obama bow.
February 19, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Do you think THIS is WHY he finally had the Dali Lama come to DC? At first he didn’t even want him to come.
February 19, 2010 at 6:13 pm
I have ceased to be amazed at the idiocy of the people currently at the White House.
You need to put a picture of the streets of Washington after the 9/12 march directly below the ones from inauguration day – that tells the entire story….
February 19, 2010 at 6:13 pm
I wish I had started an O diary on inauguration day. It seems like every single day its something upsetting with these people. I can’t begin to remember it all, I don’t know that I want to, but I think going back over the whole mess would be amazing.
February 19, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Wow, that would’ve been something, all right. Mind-blowing. Wonder if any other intrepid soul has actually done it.
Utopia diarists, come forth! :)
February 19, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I’m right there with you, Snowqueen, I wake up each day just wondering what new ‘crisis’ or idiocy awaits me. This by far is just the worst for treating someone. The iPod to the Queen and the movies to Mr Brown I was hoping was just plain studidity, but this, no this had to planed and on purpose.

I recall the photo without even looking: The Officer Crowley assists Gates, while Obobo walks ahead of them, blithely unaware of anyone/anything but hisself.
Speaks volumes.
February 20, 2010 at 8:46 am
It also speaks volumes about the kind of man that Officer Crowley is. After being excoriated by Gates, Crowley is a true gentleman to all.

February 19, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Curous.. I did a little internet searching of how the Dahli Lama has been treated by Presidents.
Pres BUSH.. met him and treated him to a sit down in his private residence. Obama.. met him in the basement.
All other Presidents have tried to hide the Dahli Lama… because of China.
However, Hilliary also treated him like a rock star when she was first lady.
I understand that China owns us and blah blah blah….but to have him leave out the back with trash is so disrespectful .. I just cant understand how anyone could be so class-less.
February 19, 2010 at 6:28 pm
WOW!
Look at the size of that trash dumped outside the White House!
Why what is that peeking out from behind the mountain of trash bags???
Is it????
IS IT????
Yes it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a Chicago licensed-tagged pick-up truck on blocks!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet there is some mighty expensive trash in those bags – Kobi beef, Iranian cavier, Timmy’s tax returns, Michigan’s primary ballots…..
February 19, 2010 at 9:11 pm

February 19, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Re your second update: OMG–I can’t stop laughing!! hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
Re the gist of the piece: OMG–I can’t stop crying. There had better be a good explanation for this (and it had better not be, “The Dalai Lama insisted”). It’s shameful is right! Diz-guz-ting!
February 19, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I am appalled. There is NO excuse to have trash pilled up out side the White House. They have full time staff , on site dumpsters (out of view) and the abilty to have it all hauled out at any time with a phone call. They are not at the mercy of garbage truck scheduals like the rest of us.
In fairness to The Won, he is not supposed to have to have to worry about garbage collection on grounds. BUT, the attitude and managment style of the White House directly flows from the President who occupies it.
It is a honor and privlege to work at the White House and whom ever is in charge of the physical plant needs to fired on the spot.
February 19, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Amen, Flash!
There must be several levels of ‘staff’ involved in basic maintenance, trash removal, grounds maintenance, oversight staff and a majordomo.
I can’t imagine how things could possibly have gotten so lax as to allow this disgraceful situation.
As ‘The Boss’, Obama is ultimately responsible. If the staff had any respect for him/them, they would never allow such a thing to happen, since it is a reflection on him.
Heads should roll over this, but whatever lame excuse he comes up with will be a miserable lie.
I know it’s unlikely but I hope the Bushes don’t see this. It would break their hearts.
February 19, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Perhaps Pewchelle could spare one of her servants, er one of her many maids and or footmen to load up a truck or too and clean up their stinking mess?

February 19, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I don’t mind the trash outside so much.
It’s the trash INSIDE the White House that I have a problem with.
I’d refer to them as white trash, but then I’d be labeled a racist.

They don’t make ‘em big enough for that breed of rat.
February 19, 2010 at 8:42 pm
Yep. Can you imagine how they have trashed the WH and how much work it will take to restore it to some semblance of normalcy once the “Party Large” crowd is out? It’s disgusting.
At some point the stories are going to leak out, and it will infuriate the public.
February 19, 2010 at 7:21 pm
It reminds me of the White House in “Idiocracy” (which we seem to be headed).
February 19, 2010 at 7:43 pm
The thing that is most stunning to me is that this is the picture the White House released!
They didn’t have to release this picture, yes I get the chinease are pissed about the Marxist Messaih meeting with the Dali Lama, and so they would not have a picture of the 2 of them released,
but SERIOUSLY? why did they have to release this picture that would be so insulting to the dali lama!!
This photo release was no accident, this was deliberate, and if it wasn’t, then how stupid are these Obots who are running the WH?
February 19, 2010 at 8:40 pm
They don’t care what WE think, this pic was for the red chinese. They insulted the DL and proved it to the chicoms.
February 19, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Every previous post is 100% correct. This is embarassing to me as a proud American on many, many, levels.
The White House is “our” house. Yep, it is the peoples house and should be treated with the same consideration and reverance as the Tomb of the Unknown. It should be “pristine inside and out” at all times, in every nook and cranny. Period. It represents our American standard, and stands as a reflection of our comittment to excellence. I am embarassed.
Also, we are a proud nation. Yes, we have problems, yes we have political issues, yes we are not perfect. But, yes, we can/will be better. America needs to keep her head held high, we have nothing to be ashamed about as a nation. We care for the world. Every time another nation is in crisis they look to us. Every nation with a disaster looks to us. We are the proud, brave, spirited people of our republic. That said, we do not need to cower or worry about China’s opinion. The dali-lama is a leader of his people and deserves the dignity and respect we afford to anyone else. If China will not support sanctions against Iran, or refuse to buy our bonds, or whatever, because we recognize the Dali-lama then so be it. Deal with it China. We have nothing to feel apologetic about.
Our president should would wear a green tie to show support for Iranian resistance groups. Obama could tell my staff to do the same on the same day and not talk to any media about it or explain to anyone.
Get the trash picked up from the White House “inside and outside” please.
February 19, 2010 at 8:03 pm

Hot Air has a report that the Republicans may boycott O’s health-care summit after all:
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/02/19/oh-my-gop-ready-to-boycott-obamacare-summit/
If they did, they’d avoid a lot of rubbish in the meeting itself — as well as, we may now infer, stinking piles of refuse on the way in and out.
The Obama White House: it’s hazardous to your health!
February 19, 2010 at 8:24 pm
To any repubs reading this blog:
democrats/independents like me want you guys to boycott this photo-op waste of time summit.
Trust me, we are not a gullible bunch. We know exactly what is going on.
We DO NOT WANT THIS POS RATIONCARE BILL CRAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS!
we want someone to stand up for us, TO SAY NO to this crap. If you are called a party of NO, then take it as a compliment.
Moderate democrats/Independents like us want you repubs to be the Party of NO… NO to socialized medicine!!!!
Party of NO (to socialized medicine!)
February 19, 2010 at 9:29 pm
I’m a conservative and emailed my republican congressman accordingly. Told him to tell the GOP to stand their ground. We are NOT participating in this fiasco.
February 20, 2010 at 11:09 am
Our rep. is a dem so there is no point contacting him. The reps. that are Republican don’t take mail from outside their district (at least e-mail). I think they should stay away.
February 20, 2010 at 12:30 pm
I know, every time I hear the repubs called the Party of No, I think DUH and THANK GOD – b/c they are saying no to the worse presidential agenda in history. The party of no is a GOOD thing.
And it seems like the dems are preparing to do reconciliation anyhow. So this summit is a total sham. I really pray the repubs show some serious balls and boycott this opportunity for Obama to talk down to the repubs and then cause Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow to talk endlessly about how Obama just creamed the repubs. Ugh ugh ugh.

The Dalai Lama is not a democracy, as you stated … he is supposedly the reincarnation of the Budda but the first one not authorized by the Chinese so a bit like an anti-pope … the anti budda : )
I am no Obama fan … neither the mrs nor the mr impress any part of me but WHY OH WHY must you go on about what she wears? I get that she is living a relatively lavish, and likely selfish, life right now, but please lay off the woman’s wardrobe! There are so many more important things! What she lacks in class, she makes up for with determination.
The garbage, I believe was leftover from that big snow storm … would have been wise to NOT allow it as a backdrop for the dalai lama photo shoot …
February 19, 2010 at 8:46 pm
yea, like the media laid off the RUMOR of the 150K wardrobe for Palin.
“What she lacks in class, she makes up for with determination.”
LOL! what an amazingly ignornant statement about Michelle “finally proud to be american” Antoinette.
as for the “garbage leftover from the snowstorm” I live in northern VA, the garbage was taken from my streets within a week (they only missed it one scheduled time), I would think the WH has better maintenance than my little ol’ street.

Click on Lisa’s name and read her blog. It will tell you all you need to know about her.
“They’re coming to take me away. Hee-hee, ha-ha, ho-ho.” Total LOON.
(And her writing is so bad it hurts to read it.)
February 19, 2010 at 9:31 pm
LOL!
hey, HB’s lesson in concern trolls: check out this line:
“I am no Obama fan … neither the mrs nor the mr impress any part of me ”
classic concern troll line!
February 19, 2010 at 8:49 pm
First off Lisa, work on your reading comprehension.
We never said the DL was a “democracy”. That’s ridiculous. The DL is a person, not a government. We said he was a friend of democracies all over the world — which he most certainly is. The Pope is also a friend of democracies. Every religion we can think of, except Islam, proves itself a friend of democracies and an enemy of authoritarian states time and again.
We can talk about whatever we want here, Lisa. It’s our site. Every day the current First Lady proclaims herself a fashion icon. The White House ensures she gets at least two magazine covers a month talking about what a fashion trend setter she is. So, why is it not appropriate to talk about the simple fact this is a colossal lie.
She wears ugly clothes. She dresses inappropriately for state events. She does not follow basic protocol or show any grace or decorum. She criticizes her own children for their weight yet thinks nothing of her own obesity or the obesity of her best chit chat buddy.
If she doesn’t want people to talk about her clothes, then she should stop talking about how wonderful her clothes are.
February 19, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Oh, and I need you to post those posts about her wardrobe. They are HILARIOUS and are one of the many things I enjoy about this blog. Keep it coming Boyz.
February 19, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Ditto!
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your FLOTUS (un)fashion commentary. More!!! We can handle as much as you care to write about.
M’Utopia’s frockery invites mockery.
February 20, 2010 at 2:33 am
I will also second the request for a fashion commentary on the “fashion icon” ROFL

So late yesterday afternoon, I posted this article to my facebook page. Last night before bed, I had 3 comments posted on this link.
My liberal (obama loving) friend had said that this was “the most retarded article he had ever read”. One of my other friends then commented that “didn’t someone in the white house just get in trouble for using that word”?
To which my lib friend said (I’ll paraphrase) that ‘no, just some other retard who has to write on her hand to make a speech and who thinks she special when she’s just one of bunch of people who has a kid with downs syndrome…blah blah blah.
Wish I could have quoted him directly, but I immediately took down his comments ’cause no one else I’m friends with writes garbage like that on my facebook.
Loves you HillBuzz!

Hello Trolly!
February 19, 2010 at 9:28 pm
hahahahaha!
February 20, 2010 at 2:23 am
you have to be joking. She makes up for in determination? ROFL
The woman is crass. The clothing she wears is just awful. She lacks total taste in clothing. Has no idea about colour coordination.
She is fair game because of what she wears, and especially when the LSM make such a fuss about her…..
February 20, 2010 at 10:46 am
SHE REPRESENTS EVERY PERSON IN THE USA ( THAT IS ME AND YOU) EVERY PLACE SHE TRAVELS—
NOW WOULD YOU GO OUT DRESSED LIKE SHE DRESSES??? I THINK NOT— SHE EMBARRASSES US ALL EVERY DAY— OR IT SHOULD!!!
February 20, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I mean…The lady went to England to represent America, woke up, got out of bed, began getting dressed, and for some completely inexplicable and insane reason put on like 8 belts and ribbons over her casual t-shirt thing.
My 2 yr old niece puts outfits together better than FLOTUS.
My 2 yr old niece would also be a better president than Nobama. Incidentally.
February 20, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Ozzie, she DOES make up for in determination… Determination to help take this country to the far left, dragging us if she has to, all the while giving conservatives a mental middle finger.
February 19, 2010 at 8:54 pm
The White House does not have to wait until trash service is restored. Do you really want us to believe trash trucks pull up to the WH entrance? They have hidden dumpsters.
This just goes along with the quality of staff he has hired.
February 19, 2010 at 8:56 pm
um, is richard gere still silent about this treatment of his hero and idol?
One thing I have now learned, liberals are hypocrites, if this level of disrespect had been shown during the Bush years… all the lefty looneys from Hollywood would have been screeching.
now I realise (and agree with) what conservatives are talking about when they talk about a liberal bias.
February 20, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Wonderful and thank you! As a conservative, the bias and hypocrisy is MADDENING. The more and more people realize it, the less power the MSM has. Taking them down, one awakening at a time…
February 19, 2010 at 9:11 pm
O/T, but on the subject of religion…the religion of “peace”:
From AP:
RABAT, Morocco – A minaret collapsed during Friday prayers — killing 36 people and injuring 71 — at a crowded mosque in the old town of the historic Moroccan city of Meknes, the official MAP news agency said….

February 19, 2010 at 9:27 pm
It may have to do with the fact that the Dalai Llama stating he loved President Bush and they were kindred spirits (I’ll find the quote).
Probably BO is pissed off by that.
February 19, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Dubya and the Dalai Lama are both Cancers (Moon children). Not surprised they feel a kinship.
/astrobabble off
February 19, 2010 at 11:06 pm
Don’t apologize for astrobabble.
A lot of it is true.
I mean, aren’t we kindred spirits, Garlic?
We may not be on the same political page, but we are spiritual souls looking for harmony, aren’t we?
OMG.
I think I should write a book.
I’ll be the next Tamara Chopra.
February 21, 2010 at 8:17 am
“Tamara Chopra”! hahahahahha!
Go for it, sister! :)
BTW, I think we’re pretty closely aligned politically. Prolly just disagree about McCain. I admire his courage and service to the country, but he’s bad for AZ and for the country. NO AMNESTY!! He panders to the Latino vote.
February 19, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Just another Daily Outrage.
February 19, 2010 at 9:59 pm
Netanyahu was forced to come and go using a side entrance as well. And wasn’t provided the usual motorcade. Obama is shameful.
February 19, 2010 at 10:33 pm
OMG!!

REMEMBER THE PICTURE OF JUGEARS WITH HIS FEET ON THE DESK (IN OUR WHITE HOUSE) THAT WAS SOOOO DISRESPECTFUL TO NETANYAHU AND THE STATE OF ISREAL—THAT PICTURE WAS ALLOWED OUT — NO PICTURE IS EVER SEEN WITH OUT APPROVAL OF THE WH
February 19, 2010 at 10:38 pm
I’m Roman Catholic, but I love the Dali Lama-he is a great spiritual leader and he has a wonderful sense of humor. To do something like this to anybody is really insulting. This White House has no class or brains. Shame on all concerned especially the ONE-Mr. the buck stops here.
February 19, 2010 at 11:07 pm
I think the good news is that if this was meant to be an insult to the Dali Lama, the Dali Lama probably let it go with his customary grace and kindness. He’s been treated much worse by the Chinese.
But it is embarrassing to us because many of us in this country admire the DL and have found guidance and comfort in his words, even if we are not adherents of his religion. There is a carelessness and lack of respect for others that starts from the top down in this White House. Maybe the trash was piled up in the back because of the weather. I’m willing to give the staff at the White House the benefit of the doubt on that but whose idea was it to let any guest leave by the back door? When friends and family leave our home, I never show them out my back door. What planet are these people from who now inhabit our White House?
February 19, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Who could you not love the Dali Lama and not treat this man with the respect that he has earned and deserves. His language is simple but the thoughts are profound.
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/d/dalai_lama.html
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.
All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
Dalai Lama
February 20, 2010 at 2:49 am
Thank-you so much Michelle for posting these wonderful quotes from the Dali Lama and the link to more. You are so correct. How could anyone not love this man? If anyone deserves respect, surely this humble and inspirational spiritual leader does.
BTW, I’ve read the quotes and now I’m going to bed – to sleep “the best meditation”. Love that quote from DL.
February 20, 2010 at 10:01 am
Cathy-you are very welcome. I love the Dali Lama, besides all of his other outstanding qualities he has a wonderful sense of humor. This man has very few material “things” but he is a very happy man, plus he carries Tibet which the Chinese Communists would love to invade and hurt our wonderful Dali Lama. He walks a path that is very hard, but he can handle it. He is a very kind and compassionate person and a great teacher.
February 20, 2010 at 8:19 am
Who say it’s garbage. It could be bags filled with ACORN phony ballots of dead people for the up coming election cycle.
February 20, 2010 at 9:19 am
i doubt if he blames the American people for this slight..what puzzles me is why “they” led him thru a BACK door!
as for fat ass, she gets her just desserts here!
February 20, 2010 at 12:15 pm
Sorry if someone has already posted this – but did you all see the pics comparing the garbage after Obama’s inauguration to the garbage after the 9/12 Tea Party rally? Pretty stunning. The Tea Partiers all picked up after themselves and basically left the lawn as they found it.

February 20, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I see 3 absolutely disgraceful things in this photo. #1 The Dalai Lama is not being escorted by a member of our Government, Obama or Biden at least should have been escorting him. #2 The Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of a rather large percentage of people of this planet, is leaving by the “back” door instead of the front or the colonnade. #3 The trash which is thrown haphazardly out the door.
#1 as a sign or respect Either Obama or Biden should walk adjacent to the Dalai Lama. Not in front of or behind, but side by side.
#2 It is extremely disrespectful to have anyone leave by the back door unless they are an employee of the US Govt.
#3 The WH trash is treated as secure document destruction. It is to be shredded and incinerated, not just thrown out the door. It is supposed to be place in secured dumpster for removal by a secured carrier for destruction.
February 21, 2010 at 12:17 am
Someone needs to write a “White House Etiquette” book, and give a copy to the NOTUS(“not of THIS United States”).It’s glaringly apparent that he has NO CLUE how to behave in his official capacity as the President.I don’t allow feet on my coffee table, and he has the audacity to prop his up on the Oval Office desk.And,this treatment of the Dali Lama, is a new low…
February 21, 2010 at 1:21 am
I find this scene so shameful. What is going on here? What has gone so wrong at the WH, supposedly the creme de la creme of American society, where an important cultural figure like the Dalai Lama would ever even SEE trash? The staff responsible for this mess should be severly reprimanded.
What a sorry state we’re in.
