Well, I'm late with this as it's old news and the first couple and their off-spring are back in D.C. but since it involves tax-payer money, it's still relevant.
Before Christmas, The Daily Mail reported that the first couple would be off on another vacation ( how many is that now?) again to Hawaii. Now while, I don't begrudge the President a Christmas vacation, the trip to Hawaii was expected to cost taxpayers almost $4 million, and is the latest example of Michelle Obama's skyrocketing spending, sources told the National Enquirer, according to The Daily Mail. Based on her extravagant trips, the First Lady has taken a page out of her husband's over- the- top spending habits as we have seen with his increasing the deficit over the last three years.
This time, however, kudos to the President, for while her husband reportedly had said he preferred a short trip to the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., Michelle insisted on the pricey Hawaiian holiday, according to news accounts. “The President’s advisers have told him that Michelle’s spending has spiralled completely out of control,” the National Enquirer quoted one source as saying. “Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was 'no way' she was going to disappoint her daughters."
Whoa!!!! The greed of this lady! Not to mention the arrogance! Especially when $4 mil of taxpayer money is funding that greed.
Memo to the Chief Executive: Grow a pair, Sir! Be assertive! wear the pants!
post script: It was reported this week that Mrs. Obama flaunted her in-your-face attitude by wearing a $500 pair of tennis shoes to a food bank kitchen. Surely she had a $200 pair in her closet!
