IN a major behind-the-scenes blowout, President BARACK OBAMA and first lady MICHELLE waged their worst White House fight ever over her lavish vacation trip to China!
Sources tell The ENQUIRER that Obama exploded when Michelle refused to cancel her pricey getaway – even after White House advisers warned him that the first couple’s six-year string of extravagant vacations had already drained the U.S. Treasury of a whopping $150 million in taxpayers’ money.
Michelle arrived in Beijing with her mother, Marian Robinson, and the Obamas’ daughters, 15-year-old Malia and Sasha, 12, on March 20 for a planned seven-day, three-city trip.
They checked into the lavish presidential suite at the Beijing Westin hotel, costing a whopping $8,350 per night.
One published report quoted hotel employees grumbling about Michelle’s mom “barking at the staff ” and added that the first lady’s party was “inconveniencing pretty much everyone.”
Besides the family’s annual August vacation on ritzy Martha’s Vineyard and Christmas holiday in Hawaii, Michelle jetted off to Mexico and Spain in 2010, and kicked up her heels at a posh ski resort in Vail, Colo., in 2011.
In March 2011, she spent five days in Latin America with her mother and daughters. Three months later, they were joined by Michelle’s niece and nephew for a safari in South Africa.
In June 2013, the first lady spent two days in Ireland. That trip required booking 30 rooms at an exclusive hotel for her staff and security detail, costing taxpayers a reported $5 million.
“Michelle does whatever she wants and goes wherever she wants. It’s as if she’s tacked up a map of the world and put pins on all the places she wants to visit. The sad part is that taxpayers are paying for her bucket list.”

Its getting late so I’m going to ping myself for a read tomorrow.
They are owned by the CIA.
I agree completely.
The National Enquirer: Journal of Record for the Clinton Administration.
The trouble is - I don’t know “ahead of time” which is right and which is a bunch of baloney until “after the fact”. For that reason, I don’t have anything to do with it.
Retrofitting Airforce One....is long... past...due...
This will be fun to see at every check out stand.... :)
I’m not surprised that this low life slime didn’t have the decency to stay away. Look how he treated his dying wife. You’re right...he’s pure slime.
That could be said for almost any media outfit these days, not just the tabloids.
They might just live separate lives, with her getting a generous stipened.
When all is said and done, that is about the most appropriate and accurate thing anyone can say. They make me rrrrrrraaaaallllllpppppphhhhhh
Dang. Michelle owes me money.
I love my fellow freepers. If it weren’t for this forum to vent my frustrations and speak my mind I’d be lost.
Didn’t they also get the pictures of Gary Hart with his girlfriend on a boat in the Bahamas? It ended his presidential aspirations. It appears they occasionally get some stories right.
Who needs her? Reggie Love can become the nation’s 1st boyfriend.
the Nat Enquirer also exposed Jesse Jackson’s luv chil’
Bwahahaha, what would he care about how much money they spend! They didn’t work for it.
I agree. No divorce.
Separate housing though, and additional secret service costs.
But what if they do get divorced and one gets indicted? Can spousal privilege be asserted by one for the period that they were married after they have divorced?
I suppose it could, but I’m not sure. I thought spousal privilege was the reason Hill and Bill stay together, but maybe Hill just wants to hold on to the brand name.
