Michelle Obama is under fire from her husband's foes for the expense to
American taxpayers of taking her younger daughter Sasha on a "girls'
holiday" with friends to a luxurious Spanish retreat.
[...]Andrea Tantaros, a Republican party strategist, caricatured the
First Lady as a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" in a scathing New York
