Michelle Obama's Africa Vacation Cost More Than $432,142...Daughters listed as 'senior staff'...

That's about $3400. per day per person. Considering what all those people need (security and housing and medical care, communication, clearances, etc. so on...) plus the cost of travel to that part of the world, it seems reasonable actually. They made it seem like she was on holiday or something, lounging away at some spa getting pedicures. lol

You want to talk about misspending let's talk about bringing our war-mongering $$dollars$$ home and spending more money on education in America. There's a place you can go at White House . gov where you put in how much you paid in taxes and it'll spit out where all those dollars went. It's DEPRESSING! Majorly. If you think of those dollars spent in terms of American priorities - it's terrifying, really. Our priorities are all screwed up.

Oh, wait..... that would be because the article is BS.

The documentation is probably "classified"

So you are saying that no other first lady ever traveled at taxpayer expense. You are woefully naive.
