Sometimes you just can't write a better title than the one someone blurts out.
'Splurging is the key to life' says Michelle Obama.
If there is any one authority on splurging, it's Queen Michele. Does she ever know how to splurge.
From Judicial Watch:
Her 2013 trip to Dublin cost us nearly $8 million.
Her trips to Africa and Honolulu in 2013 cost us $15 million.
The Obamas were averaging a vacation a month through March 2013.
She get to spend an elongated vacation at pal Oprah Winfrey's palazzo in Maui. It was the beginning of a birthday party that lasted through January 19th, when she enjoyed most of Hollywood at a White House bash.
Just last month Michelle sauntered off to China. We don't know how much that cost.
Michelle doesn't hesitate to splurge on herself either:
And as Dr. Paul Williams noted, who can forget Michelle Obama saying: “In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service.” (First Lady Now Requires 26 Servants; 8/17/09) Ironic, isn’t it, this coming from the woman who said she hadn’t been proud of America her entire life until after her husband cashed in on the presidential lottery ticket, er, I mean, she said until after he was elected. But I digress.Obama unfathomably sang the blues that Michelle Obama didn’t get paid for her duties “even though that’s a tough job.” But he omitted the fact that she has twenty-six attendants (i.e., staff) at an annual cost to taxpayers of $1,750,000. That includes a hair dresser and the same make-up artist Oprah uses who charges $15,000 per day for his services. Actually I’m surprised she didn’t try to put her daughters on her payroll insofar as she lied and named them as staff when she took her taxpayer-funded African safari where she ate her way through the jungle.
Before you lefties get all lathered up, I know she would claim that she was talking about food.
But anyone with a brain knows better.
Remember back in 2008 when Michelle said:

Especially when whitey is forced to pay for it, right Mooch?
Washington loots and plunders the rest of the country so that useless government bureaucrats can live high off the hog. Nice work if you can get it.
Make up = $15,000 per day
Might be worth it if we have to look at her, and if it worked.
She splurges on our money. She never hit a lick in her life.
Reminds me of my favorite joke, of which I've found some people don't seem to get.
This small time hood would regale in how Frank Sinatra had once saved his life. In some back alley in Las Vegas one very late night, he was being beaten to a pulp to within an inch of his life, nearly unconscious he recalls hearing Frank Sinatra's voice,saying, "OK,that's enough, boys".
The Moose’s splurge.
The taxpayers bill.
If you figure each person on her staff is 150k salary and benefits, that’s $3.6 million per year.
She is right. maybe this week I will splurge on a $17 pot roast instead of ground round.
Especially if paid for by taxpayers.
I wonder how this squares with, “I am the way the truth and the life...” and “I have come that they might have life and have it abundantly.” I guess Jesus was talking about splurging and it has taken Michelle until now to point this out to the unwashed masses. I’m sure readers here are grateful.
‘weezie’ is livin’ the dream!
Splurging on the taxpayers dime is extra special.
And don't let's not forget the pic of her shake:
However, in all fairness to Michelle, she DID have a Diet Coke with her meal ...
The President’s wife (forget “First Lady” title of nobility) should not get bus fare from the taxpayers. If she wants to travel let her pay her own way. Same goes for Republicans.
What was the one vacation they had that cost a record $100 million? I remember reading that last year. Just think: How many kids have cancer right now and their families are getting killed with medical bills. For $100 million, 1000 kids could have gotten $100,000 each. But yo man, Mooshelle gots to SPLURGE yo!!
