Barack Obama to stay in Marbella [August vacation in Spain]
Typically Spanish ^ | July 25, 2010

The United States President will spend four days of his holiday in the town with his family during August

The President of the United States, Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha, will spend part of their summer holidays in Marbella.

In what will be his first visit to Spain as President, he will stay from August 4 – 8 in the luxury Villapadierna Hotel.

Before returning to the United States, Obama will travel to the Marivent Palace on Mallorca to meet with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. He’s also expected to meet with the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, at some point.

Government sources quoted by El Mundo, while failing to confirm the news, said if it were to happen it would be a ‘clear demonstration of the excellent relations currently between Spain and the United States'.

I thought they were going to the Gulf Coast, to show solidarity, and all that carp.

Well isn’t this so nice. While the rest of us sit home & wonder how we can afford to live the 0’s are having fun. No budgeting for them. Shaking my head again...

WHAT????

What vacation spot is scheduled for Sept? Oct...It's vacation when you take the family. Meanwhile Americans are out of work and the BOSS OF EVERYTHING is on vacation.

Remember when Bush got grief even when he 'gave up golf for the troops' in 2003. Said it didn't look good to the moms of fighting men and women. The Left said it was a knee/leg injury disruption.

Hypocrites, the Left.

I’d bet money that neither he nor Aunt Esther has ever seen the inside of a Wal-Mart, especially since they’re non-union.

“President-elect Barack Obama said Americans will have to sacrifice to lift the nation from recession”...

Apparantly lavish presidential vacations are not included.

Obama was shamed into going to the Gulf states by the press when choosing Bar Harbor a couple weeks ago.

Just our luck - then we'd be stuck with President Biden.
