One can only hope she's not wearing those same trashy $740 'designer tennies' she wore when she 'served food' at that soup kitchen. This is the single most classless 'first lady' that has ever borne that title. She embarrasses the position and the country at the same time - that's a 'two-fer'. Be proud, America ... THIS is what y' get when you elect Communists ... and remember: It's 'Do as I say, not as I do' ... and y'all don't be keepin' no count of all them vacations she takes, y' hear me ... ? She'll tell Bo'ROCK ... but hey, she sho'nuf depreciates all them taxes y'all pay so she can do this kinda stuff ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1300852/Spanish-police-close-public-beach-Michelle-Obamas-250k-Spanish-holiday.html Spanish police close public beach for Michelle Obama's £250,000 Spanish holiday By Mail Foreign Service | Last updated at 9:49 PM on 6th August 2010 Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering £50,000 a day. The First Lady has been lambasted for her extravagance at a time when the economy is still struggling. One blogger went so far as to brand her a modern-day Marie Antoinette. And her critics will be further annoyed when they learn that the president's wife had a Spanish beach closed off today so that she, her daughter and their entourage could go for a swim. Spanish police cleared off a stretch of beach at the Villa Padierna Hotel in Marbella after the Obamas had finished a busy day of sightseeing. Police used palm trees and police tape to mark off the boundaries of a 100-yard expanse for the American delegation. On either side, onlookers gawked - and police occasionally stopped and searched sun lovers if they strayed too close to the private party. It is unclear whether the police presence was paid for by Spain - or whether a nasty invoice could be landing in the lap of the American taxpayer. The exact cost of the trip is unclear as Mrs Obama, 46, and her friends are footing personal expenses themselves - which is just as well. For a start, they will be paying for the 60 rooms booked at the 129-room Hotel Villa Padierna. With basic rooms starting around £380 each, the nightly bill will be no less than £22,800. Meals will also be picked up by the Obamas and friends. Spanish newspaper El Mundo detailed the Obamas' dinner on their first night in Spain. The tapas menu for the delegation included sea bass tartare, strawberry gazpacho and sardines, followed by a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto. The meal cost about £40 a head, according to El Mundo - which means a bill topping £1,600 would have hit the table if all 40 friends dined together. Stretched over five nights that's £8,000 for dinner alone. Whether or not the taxpaying American will be paying for meals, they will definitely be footing the bill for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, her personal staff - and the use of presidential jet Air Force Two. |
