Where in the World is Michelle Obama?

In the past year alone, First Lady Michelle Obama has spent 42 days on vacation, costing taxpayers upwards of $10 million.

$10 million. In taxpayer funds. For vacations.

Taking full advantage of Air Force Two (costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars), Michelle has criss-crossed the world to destinations from Spain to Hawaii and Vail, CO to Martha's Vineyard. Indulging in lavish hotels, top-shelf alcohol, and Secret Service-arranged sight-seeing tours, Michelle has not been shy about putting her any and every whim on America's tab.

When was the last time you took a six-figure vacation? Probably never, if you're one of the millions of hard-working Americans worried about keeping food on the table, a roof over your head, and clothes on your children.

Can we really afford to keep up with our First Lady's reckless spending in addition to our president's?

Mrs. Obama is not the 1st First Lady to go on vacation and she wont be the last. How many days did the Bushs spend on vacation in Texas.

If first lady Michele Obama was white you people wouldn't care where she went or how much she spent.

@frederickcook87 Obamasses are getting kicked out of OUR white house and shipped back to the gutter in Chicago where they belong.

I'd like to smack that bitch. What a nerve. I guess she thinks she's 'entitled'. Being that this is the first time she's ever been proud of her country. She's the most disgraceful excuse for a First Lady in American history. Real trash.

@AmericanMajority LOL! I've got some disappointing news for you.

FIRST: The Daily Mail is the UK equivalent to The Star or The National Enquirer - zero credibility.

SECOND: The article said "she's been accused of spending" there was no proof.

THIRD: 90-95% of those pictures were from official trips, for which the hosting country usually pays.

FOURTH: The President & family stay free in most venues. The venues could not hope to buy such magnificent advertising!

Michelle is a disgrace and more poision than her husband, Check out the video" where she says all this for a damn flag" referring to our US flag. The one that so many have died for, Of course she wouldn't know anything about that or care. Its the same as the 2008 Posting of Barack who wouldn't put his hand on his heart during the national athemn.But she has no problem spending our tax dollars like there is no tommorrow.Barry getting elected was the ulitmate lottery ticket for her no class self.
