Please post your thoughts everybody. We'll try to bring some of ours over here from the original thread.

Just remember, that Michelle's plane will fly directly unsearched to Andrew's AHB.

I read El Mundo article and gave it a good reading, and I don’t see the merits for hysteria. The article sounds pretty gossipy.

It is August and all of Europe is on vacation. A lot of wealthy folks have homes/places to stay in Marbella as they have over the years. This also includes wealthy Arab Royals.

“Varias casas reales árabes también pasan sus veranos en Marbella desde hace años.”

Some royal Arab Houses also spend their summers in Marbella as they have for many years.

“Así, habrá un encuentro entre Michelle Obama y el príncipe Salman bin Abdelaziz, gobernador de Riad y hermano del fallecido Rey Fahd de Arabia Saudí; mientras que se baraja otra reunión de la primera dama con el propietario del Málaga CF, empresario multimillonario, hijo del ministro del Interior de Qatar y miembro de la familia real qatarí, Abdullah Al Thani.”

Thus, there will be an encounter between M.O. and the prince Salman bin Aabdelaziz, governor of Riad and brother of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia; while another reunion is arranged with the proprietor of Málaga CF, multimillionaire impresario, son of the Interior Minister of Qatar and member of the Qatar royal family, Abdullah Al Thani.

P.S.

This woman is not too bright. I think she is just trying to rub elbows with the rich and famous because it gives her a buzz and it brings attention to her. And from all these threads, it is working.

I pointed out yesterday that the reason she's meeting the Saudis is because her standing in that part of the world is much higher than Obama's.

The Saudis perceive The Rookie as weak.  That's no big secret, it's been reported as such on the Saudi state run media.

And as you pointed out, she will be flying directly to Andrews and she and her plane won't be searched, so there are probably a good chance there is going to be secrets coming in with her; be it a classified dossier, money or drugs or a combination of all the three.

Someone needs to ask Gibbs for the complete list of travelers. Also, this story is very interesting: I caught the tail end of a Fox n Friends interview this morning talking about how the Lockerbie bomber was released at the request of BP & England (White House too?) because BP wanted drilling rights in Libya.

Something is so rotten in Washington.

Don't see anyone has picked this up. You find the El Mundo article anywhere else yet?

Thought I better take some screen shots of the original page in Spanish just in case this goes away:

Click to enlarge, click again for 900 x 800 or so pixels. Have unlimited bandwidth on that account so unlimited downloads and views are available but may not keep it up forever.

There WAS press coverage that the WHOLE family
was going to Marbella. If that was, in fact, the
original plan ...... what caused the change ????

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Posted on Sunday, July 25, 2010 10:53:19 PM by 2ndDivisionVet

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’.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2558986/posts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was on the 25th of July. On July 28th, there was
this, already expressing less certainty that the whole
family would be coming or that -0 would celebrate his
b-day there:

“The truth about Costa del Obama -What Michelle Obama should know about her holiday choice of Marbella

###

It is a place of questionable taste, and unquestioning sleaze. But the Costa del Sol’s glitziest resort of Marbella is the surprise holiday choice of Michelle Obama and at least one of her daughters, Sasha, who are due to arrive on 4 August. Locals hope that Barack Obama, who celebrates his 49th birthday on the first day of their stay, might make a last-minute appearance.

Marbella, home of graft, tack and ostentation, is everything the Spanish costas should not be. Overbuilt and brashly flaunting its wealth, it epitomises the wanton destruction of Spain’s coastline. So what else can America’s first family expect?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s also this on the 25th:

White House denies Obama to holiday in Spain

###

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House denied reports from Spanish media that US President Barack Obama and his family would take a holiday early August in the posh southern Spanish resort city of Marbella.

*snip*

... the report by Spanish newspaper El Pais and El Mundo was incorrect.

According to the Obamas’ official schedule, the First Family has August getaway plans for the disaster hit US-Gulf Coast as well as the northeastern vacation spot off Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100726/ts_alt_afp/usspainpoliticstourismdeny

Notice how they excluded HER vacation there.

Maybe El Mundo got it wrong .. but the original info came from somewhere.

I suspect that a lot of Arab money flowed into Obama’s campaign fund. Remember all of the millions on pre-paid credit cards that could not be traced?

Maybe she is pitching which dims need help this Nov. via the same foreign money route.

For those following the story...

does it look like Michelle insisted that Sasha be in the photo? Like the offical part of the photo op or something. It is strange

Michelle probably has all the brains in the mulatto Usurpers’s family. She also, fat ass and all, can get away with this kind of meeting, low key, and the mulatto Usurper will act according to the wishes of his Arab islamfacist brethren.

It looks like these Kings have a mosque there and rest there every summer. WHY did Michelle pick this place for her vacation?
