LOL! I love the old "that's different" excuse when it comes to GWB's vacations. He took a huge entourage to Bejing to watch the Olympics. I didn't see any RW outrage on this board about that! I didn't see people getting out their calculators to figure out just how much that little junket cost the taxpayer.
Just unbelievable posters want to tally every dime the Obamas spend isn't it?
I hope she and her daughter are enjoying their vacation.
The article already states that her as well as her friends paid their OWN expenses. Now they are trying to pick on the fact that Secret Service were there(on tax payers account).......ummmm....when does Secret Service not follow POTUS or FLOTUS?!?!
Who pays for SS for ex-presidents?? Who pays for them when those ex-presidents go on vacation?? Like I said before, people don't think before they decide to write some stupid article...
I don't think anyone has an issue with SS coverage. We all understand the need to protect these people.
It's the lavish spending that has caught many people's attention.
Why Michelle should be able to do whatever she likes with our money.
It is the only way she can feel PROUD of her country.
You do realize that this lady is possibly one of the most intelligent women in the country and had to take on a softer role so that she didn't rub people the wrong way. The same way that Hillary had to do for a while after those comments about "baking cookies and making tea"

If she was that intelligent she wouldn't be spending so lavishly on a vacation when so many people are suffering now.
As Mrs. Obama and her entourage arrived on Friday in a 13-car motorcade at a beach club with a stretch of sand cleared by security and police boats hovering off the shore, the blogosphere has been filled with commentary about a tone-deaf trip in the same week the United States government reported the loss of another 131,000 jobs. “A modern-day Marie Antoinette,” scolded a New York Daily News columnist.

Built in a converted church, the hotel is considered one of the more luxurious establishments in Spain with rooms costing from $500 a night to a $6,600 suite that includes 24-hour butler service and spa treatments.
Here's a little cheese to go with that whine right wingers....
I'm not whining at all. I am estatic that Michelle and Barack continue to show the American people and the rest of the world that they lack common sense and good judgement.

I think they meant the "right wingnut" blogosphere....
