Michelle Obama LOVES Vacations! $10 Million of OUR $ and 42 Days So Far This Year!
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

America's Marie Antoinette lives large while we struggle to hang on financially and take STAY-cations. She's spent $10 million of OUR money in ONE year on vacations while we have millions unemployed. Outrageous.

This article quotes White House sources---people that work for POTUS and FLOTUS.

From the Article:

"The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.
And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.

The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.

'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.'"

Exactly. Vacation at his own home or at his parents place in Kennebunkport.

And when the war started he quit playing golf all together. Thought it looked bad to be playing golf while our people are dying in the war.

Even the Obamas travel to Martha's Vineyard cost us waaaay more than it needed to. From the article:


"But the situation sparked further anger after he and his wife elected to fly separately to the Massachusetts retreat - despite travelling on the same day.
Mr Obama left the White House aboard Marine One on his way to Andrews Air Force base to hitch a lift aboard Air Force One - along with First Dog Bo.
After landing at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station, he then took a final helicopter to his holiday destination to complete the remarkable 500-mile journey.

His wife and daughters, who arrived just four hours earlier, were also travelling from Washington, but took a specially designed military aircraft.
They would also have had their own motorcade from the airport to the vacation residence.

What is even more stunning than the arrogance and chutzpah of the Obamas, is that we, the American public, put up with it. There should be an outcry like never before. We all realize that the president and their families live a privileged life while in office, but these two are rubbing our noses in it.

No other president's spent so much of taxpayers dollars on vacation and taken SO MUCH TIME off from the job. With all that's happening, he's spent two months + (this is from March) of his presidency off playing golf. DOES NOT INCLUDE THE VACATIONS AND VACATION GOLF.

This article is from March of this year and look at the facts:

"Well, the mercury has crept back up above 60 degrees here in Washington, and so it’s time once again for President Obama to head out to the golf course.

This is the president’s 60th time golfing as president, meaning Obama has spent two months of his presidency on the golf course.

The rounds usually take about five hours, including motorcading back an forth to the course.

According to statistics compiled by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who keeps close tabs on the president’s activities, Obama played 30 rounds in 2010, 28 rounds in 2009, and two this year, including today.

George W. Bush gave up golfing in 2003, explaining why he did it in a 2008 interview with POLITICO.

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”

yeah and he also held secret meetings on his ranch - in the canyons- cut off from for complete privacy and secrecy
I may ot have been a huge Bush fan - but he was not over the top he remained very low key out of respect for the war and for our soldiers and of course the era after 911 was very low key

this group here is partying down like there is no tomorrow!
they have no shame! they are living it up and taxpayers expense with no thought of respect in mind that was are in tough times and still in a war

he is a pc of work and so is she -- talk about entitlement - geez

No, he's not, but he and his family spend OUR money like it's fucking water. Gdub took a lot of his time off at the FAMILY-owned ranch, at the FAMILY-owned property in Maine, and at the PUBLICLY-owned Camp David. Big difference.

I don't think Michelle would consider the $10 million 'vacation' money. She instead probably considers it as long overdue reparations from white slave masters.

 Quoting: SoupLover


You may have a point especially given what she wrote in her Princeton paper but we'll never really know. What we can see is that this extravagance is waaaay over the top.

My personal favorite was when she wore $500 sneakers to spoon meals at a soup kitchen feeding the homeless.

I like bling as much as the next person but there doesn't seem to be any real connection to us as people. No appreciation for what we are going through. When I think about the good $10 million could have done! Just last week 1.5 million people were kicked off unemployment when their benefits ran out for the last time. Those people are now destitute! But those in the White House are livin' larger than ever!

Is anyone really suprised. I mean, give Shaniquah a little cash in the hood and she blows it on a blond weave, bottles of MadDog, a couple gold cap teeth, and KFC buckets. The first ape hasn't fallen too far from the rest of the sheboons.
