Replaced Michele Obama with Chewbacca



First Lady Chewbacca and others on African safari in June 2011

Gotta love Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, which is what it takes to make the Obama administration answer questions on how Chewbacca spends taxpayer's money.

Last week we obtained mission expense records and passenger manifests from the United States Air Force related to the June 21-27, 2011, trip. Judicial Watch obtained the documents pursuant to an August 19, 2011, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. It is amazing how transparent the Obama administration becomes once you sue them in a federal court!

On June 28, 2011, we filed a FOIA request seeking the mission taskings, transportation records, and passenger manifests for Chewbacca’s Africa trip. Our FOIA lawsuit extracted some interesting information:

According to U.S. Department of Defense’s published hourly rates for the C-32A aircraft used for the trip, we calculated the total cost to American taxpayers was $424,142 for the flight and crew. (The C-32 is a specially configured military version of the Boeing 757.) Other expenses ─ meals (off the plane), transportation, security, various services, etc. ─ have yet to be reported.

The expense records also indicate $928.44 were spent for “bulk food” purchases on flight. Overall, during the trip, 192 meals were served for the 21 passengers on board.

The passenger manifests confirm the presence of Obama’s daughter’s, Malia and Sasha on the trip. The two girls are listed as “Senior Staff.” The manifests also list Chewbacca's mother, Marian Robinson, and niece and nephew, Leslie and Avery Robinson, as well Chewbacca’s makeup and hairstylist (Carl Ray and Johnny Wright).

The professed purpose of Chewbacca’s trip to South Africa and Botswana was to encourage young people living in the two growing democracies to become involved in national affairs; and during her scheduled stops in Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa, and in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana, the First Lady used the opportunity to speak on education, health, and wellness issues.

The trip also included such tourist events as visits to historical landmarks and museums, plus a nonworking chance to send time with Nelson Mandela, a meeting that Chewbacca described as “surreal.” The trip ended with a private family safari at a South African game reserve before the group returned to Washington on June 27.



Since when did Obama's young daughters become "senior staff" members?

Who paid for the family safari?

Barack and Michelle [Chewbacca] Obama are doing a very convincing impression of Louis and Marie Antoinette, respectively. They better hope the American public doesn't start to emulate the French public circa 1789.

I like chaos and what-not, but "revolution" means to come "full-circle"...

Peut-être un demi-cercle au lieu d'une révolution complète?

Check your facts, Marie Antoinette was only 10 yrs. when "let them eat cake" was said and she was almost 100% NOT the one to originate it OR actually SAY it

I also think it's quite unfair to compare Michelle Obama to Mary Antoinette.

Actually, I think it's unfair to compare Michelle to anything other than this:

Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

Do you suppose the reason Obama was selected POTUS was as a means to win the hearts and minds of Africa?
Because our Prez is probably really popular way down in da dark continent, maybe more popular than them damn Chinese
with all their damn money.

I am real sure that Yemen and Libya don't really care for the guy.

Africa has a lot of natural resources the USA hasn't gained full control over yet.

My view was that an African-descent POTUS would easily be able to go in and set up sweetheart deals for US companies in a way that a white POTUS would not be able to do... but I don't see much happening in that direction, so maybe I was wrong.
