This was not a mother/daughter vacation. She took 5 other personal friends with
her and they all flew on a government plane and stayed at the luxurious resort.
Between her and Obama being on the View, what a ridiculous Pres & First Lady.
Certainly not a class act
Really?! Again, lavishness at the expense of the taxpayer..who's paying for Mrs. Obama to fly and stay in Spain? Not to mention the expense for all of the security. Honestly now...is it prudent to spend this sort of money?

July 30 2010 at 5:45 PM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down Replysure would love to know "who is paying for this vacation" I do not know why I ask this question, because I know the answer. WE te tax payer are paying for this trip and all the expenses encounter during that time
July 30 2010 at 5:30 PM Report abuse Permalink +4 rate up rate down ReplyWe the taxpayers paid for it for EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT recession, hard times or not. What makes this any different. Why were the predecessors not under the microscope then. Pathetic!
July 31 2010 at 9:50 AM Report abuse Permalink -6 rate up rate down ReplyLets see, my family as been to CA this summer for a week, then off to FL for a weekend, we then went to Chicago for a birthday celebration and stayed 4 days. To some this may seem elaborate however it was done with people making less than you think. Did I mention for spring break there was a Vacation in the Bahamas. People stop your whining. More people travel and vacation than you think. Why do you think the Airlines all made record profits for the 2nd quarter this year. I guess the problem is who's traveling, if your remember prior to his Presidency they were in Hawaii twice a year. Before you speak please research what other Presidents have done and who they vacationed with.

August 07 2010 at 7:28 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyRepubician or Democrat It must be nice to have money while 1 out of 4 family are losing their homes due to unemployment. Avoidng taxes and flying in private jets and most AMERICANS are just surviving on a day to day basis. We all better hope for global warming because more tent cities will be popping up if JOBS are not produced. I thank God I liked camping as a child
