Mooch-elle separate departure for Hawaii tab: $63,000+

Yeah, another thread about the chick who wants to live like a royal sucking more money out of a country already $14T in debt.,

Get over it.

Mrs. Obama’s Separate Hawaii Travel Likely Costs at Least $63,000 | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier

Mrs. Obama jetted out to Hawaii on an Air Force C-40B Special Mission Aircraft. The Defense Department bills other agencies $6,330 per flight hour for use the plane.

Assuming a flight time from Washington DC to Hawaii of about ten hours, the cost to taxpayers for the flight alone would be about $63,000.

But Mrs. Obama’s determination to get her full two weeks of Hawaiian rest and relaxation probably cost a good deal more. By leaving early, she forced a large logistical support operation – including a retinue of Secret Service agents – to get itself up and running.

This is in addition to the support that will be needed to bring President Obama to Hawaii via Air Force One. Since the cost of moving the entire family together on Air Force One would not likely have been much different than that of taking just the president, the first lady’s trip is an add-on.

What’s more, Mrs. Obama has decided to make a Sasquatch-sized carbon footprint by commandeering her own jet to take her to Hawaii.

People who quote blogs make themselves look ridiculous.

And.... Michelle hasn't done anything that other First Ladies have done.
