Luxurious: The Obamas have booked 60 rooms and will spend four nights at the five-star Villa Padierna

The Obama administration faced an embarrassing diplomatic blunder today after it was forced to pull a warning about racism in Spain - just as the First Lady arrived in the country for a summer holiday. Soon after touching down in the Costa del Sol yesterday morning, Michelle Obama was pictured taking in the sights of Marbella with daughter Sasha, nine, surrounded by a throng of bodyguards.
Staff at the U.S. State Department removed the contentious advice to travellers, which included the phrase 'racist prejudices could lead to the arrest of Afro-Americans who travel to Spain,' from its website on Monday.

Luxurious: The Obamas have booked 60 rooms and will spend four nights at the five-star Villa Padierna
Moose Hips does the Iberian Peninsula...at taxpayers’ expense.
When I think of Laura Bush.....
As much as I dislike the Obamas, i can’t be hypocritical and deny them what any other 1st family has/will enjoy
Was that AF 1 or whatever she was getting off? How in the hell does she rate that aircraft?
I cannot believe how she dresses. Embarrassing.
O NE ZOT! Look what she’s wearing!!! FAIL, FAIL, DO NOT WANT!
Re; top pic:
OMG look at those hips!
For God’s sake cover up. Try to dress with a little dignity.
What a stain on American history you are.
I count about 25-30 people with her. We seem to be paying for an Michelle Obama family reunion in Spain.
The thing I can’t figure out is why they need 60 rooms. How many bodyguards do they have FGS!
Oh really?!!? Have you read this?
When was the last time a “1st family” did Europe on $100,000 a day?
See post 11.
They need not have removed the warning....they could just note it does not apply to African-Americans surrounded by Secret Service bodyguards!
See post 11.
According to what I’ve read & heard, it’s fewer than that & though the reservations were made thru the White House - and why shouldn’t they be? - the rooms are being paid for by the other guests...friends & family.
She went for the chorizo.
The Bushes didn’t go on 7 vacations before the midterm.
The Bushes didn’t criticize the luxurious excesses of fat, stupid lazy Americans and then indulge in excesses far beyond any other Americans.
The Bushes didn’t travel to foreign countries and denounce the Americans who put them in office and enabled them live the obscenely luxuriant life of the despot.
The Bushes didn’t intentionally destroy the US dollar and the US economy, setting up a depression that is going to steal much of the wealth of private citizens.
The Bushes didn’t set up the economy so that the financial sector profits based upon TARP and Stimulus that will destroy the US dollar if that new money ever hits the street. Oh wait, George the big-government spender did do that, and I criticize him for that.
The Bushes didn’t take over businesses and hand them over to the unions for payback.
The Bushes didn’t violate the law and screw bond holders out of their investment.
The Bushes didn’t talk openly about “typical black people” as Obammie the Commie did of whites.
These two squatters deserve nothing but to be burned in effigy for how they are deliberately destroying this country and laughing and living a luxurious lifestyle all the while.
Sorry, but all that doesn’t matter.
Unfortuantely, they’re they 1st family, no matter how much we dislike them and all they stand for.
