These assholes are incorrigible..... The Obamas are typical of the idiot "New Money" people that win the lottery and are broke the next year......... we need to take away their stinking credit cards! Hillary Clinton made a classier and better looking first lady....... that's pathetic.

Michelle Obama Criticized as "Modern-day Marie Antoinette" Over Spain Vacation - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Michelle Obama Criticized as "Modern-day Marie Antoinette" Over Spain Vacation
Posted by Brian Montopoli

Andrea Tantaros has penned a scorching editorial for the New York Daily News deeming First Lady Michelle Obama a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" for her vacation in Spain with her daughter.


"The First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her 'closest friends,'" Tantaros writes, pointing to a CNN report that Michelle Obama and her group are expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms. "Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times."

Tantaros goes on to criticize the first lady for traveling abroad instead of within the United States, something that would help the U.S. economy.

"Michelle Obama seems more like a modern-day Marie Antoinette - the French queen who spent extravagantly on clothes and jewels without a thought for her subjects' plight - than an average mother of two," she writes. "... I don't begrudge anyone rest and relaxation when they work hard. We all need downtime - the First Family included. It's the extravagance of Michelle Obama's trip and glitzy destination contrasted with President Obama's demonization of the rich that smacks of hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between the country and its leaders."

According to the White House, Mrs. Obama is traveling with minimal staff and a small group of family friends for a mother daughter trip long in the works.

The FIrst Lady's press office referred to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' statement at the White House briefing yesterday that "the First Lady is on a private trip."

"She is a private citizen and is the mother of a daughter on a private trip," he said. "And I think I'd leave it at that."

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain - one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One - operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 - double for the round trip.

People on private trips do not fly on government owned planes. These people are some arrogant pieces of shit. Oh here comes Bert to "defend all women" . Fucking morons.

if its a private trip, they pay for it themselves.

perhaps the moron is the angry O/P?

You are wrong. They pay for the Cost of themselves. Not the cost of all the support, Secret Service or Logistics that goes into it. Any Time she, or the President Travels and Massive Group of People travels with them. Several Cars are Air lifted to where they are going. It costs the Tax Payers MILLIONS.

Trying to claim that the Obama's Are paying for the whole trip is pretty slick, but false. They put up the Money it would cost for them to go on the trip if they were not President and First Lady, they do not pay for all the EXTRA expense incurred because of who they are, and what has to go into what ever they do. This is the same argument you Liberals used when Bush went on HIS RARE vacations. Now you are trying to Ignore the Facts and say they Paid for it themselves.

Nice try.

This is not the first Vacation or Needless expense. Even the Famous Trip to Broadway cost the Tax Payers millions from Various Agencies Operating Funds. Any Trip Does every time. Nantucket is Next I hear. Seems like The Obama's are on Vacation, or Golfing, or having some lavish Party all the time. Must be nice to be King. I need some Cake to eat!

Turns out, The President not only makes $400K a year in salary, but he also has a $50K annual general expense account, a $100K a year travel expense account for non duty related travel (ie vacations) and a $19K a year budget for non duty related entertainment.

the obamas can afford it.

remember that sweet deal they got on that house in chicago?

The cost for the secret service is null and void. They'd be with her as long as the her husband is president of the United States (unless they get a different rate when they are overseas).

I know, the likes of Drain and OCA, youself and Abby almost suffered heart seizures any time anybody dared criticise your precious Chimp.

I also remember normal folk criticising Bush for taking so much vacation time, not the COST, which is what this little nugget of an OP is about...

Incorrect, if the chimp is in the white house or at least in Washington DC she gets just her normal contingent of secret service agents, usually like 4 agents, and 4 more for the daughter, but when the chimp goes over seas, it takes at minimum 50 agents to safeguard them.

It's not a dollar for dollar deal. And that doesn't even include the cost of housing and feeding the agents, a cost that normally is not part of their salary when the chimp is in her cage.

Hey Steph, words don't lie. All posts that were written since the inception of the board are still around if anybody can be bothered going back that far...it's all there in black and white....

BS...50 my arse....

And don't call her Chimp....you know, and I know, that it has racist overtones when it comes to black people. And no, I don't buy the old "oh, you're making it a racist issue". I'm not, there are literally 100s of 1000s of examples over the eons of the 19th and 20th centuries where black people have been compared to monkeys and apes. You cannot say the same of white people like Dumbya...

You don't think so? Shows you have NO clue about what the secret service does, they have to send advance teams to every avenue she goes to. They have to provide her drivers and protection where she is at the moment, they have to have people who are vetting anyone she is scheduled to meet. You just have no clue

Just to be clear, I have been calling her chimp in direct response to Palin being called chimp in that other thread.

 

[ReAmericaNow]

The cost is justified as a projection of American Power and superiority, just as EVERY OTHER superpower has done before...

But riddle me this, what is the daily operating cost of a Nimitz Class Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier... The Navy has 7. And the ENTIRE world has 7 nuclear powered aircraft carriers...

7 (world) - 7 (US) = 0 (everyone else)

justify that expense...
