What could the daughter have learned on a five day trip to Spain.
How to say vanilla ice cream in espanol?
This was an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars.
If she wanted to spend time with a bereaved friend she could have invited the woman to the White House for a few days.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I am sure if Laura Bush had taken similar lavish vacations we’d STILL be hearing about them.
It sounds like Mary Cate Kelly is a racist. So many racists in the MSM these days. Its just like Selma!!!
Even their toadies in the Lamestream Media are jumping ship over this. Hubby’s already plummeting approval ratings are about to head through the basement floor.
Fixed it.
Sure. She could go to Vegas and rent the Bellagio for a week.
Michellappalooza tour......
I’m sure she’s not proud of anything American except her flunky, community organizing, teleprompter hubbie.....
Well, the downtrodden looks on the people losing their homes and jobs and the oil gobs on the beaches kinda ruin it for her.

Mr. President: Forget Air Force One - think "Airstream One"
Yeah...Barack and Michelle will pay attention. They will tour county fairs, stay in WigWam motels, visit VFW halls and catch fireflies at night.
And "bitter small town" America, where people "cling to their guns and religion" will rise as one and declare, gosh darn, this is the bestest First Couple ever!

Unbelievable.
First, the assumption that it is the US taxpayers' responsibility to enhance the mother-daughter relationship between the First Lady and her youngest child.
Second, the idea that this is an accurate description of what is going on here: a multimillion dollar boondoggle involving an entourage of more than 100 people on the taxpayers' dime to an exclusive European resort known as one of the playgrounds of the world's wealthiest hedonists.
This is the First Lady treating her husband's office as a winning lottery ticket, not as a serious responsibility.
Its so frickin' weird and the comparison to the constant bashing and nit-picking of Bush is 20 stories tall.
“Ruth Marcus in the Washington Post writes that the attacks are unfair and that it’s not reasonable to expect the first family to have a “stay-cation” in Washington, cleaning out closets at the White House. Maureen Dowd’s column ... quotes Obama adviser David Axelrod saying ... ‘If you have the ability to show your kid a part of the world and you can do that together before they get to the age where they don’t want to do anything with you, I don’t think it’s right that you have to defer it because of the politics.’ He makes a good point, and I’m a big fan of foreign travel for kids. I’m also all for mother-daughter trips together. But surely the Obamas have enough foreign travel coming up—to places other than five-star resorts—where the girls can see how people from other nations live and what it’s like for kids who aren’t as blessed as they are.’”
I’ve got an idea for the jet-setting mother-daughter team: how about a trip to Kenya to stay in one of the huts the Obamas live in there? That will allow the daughter to meet some of her relatives her idiot father is so proud of and will allow—in Axelhead’s words—the daughter to “see how people from other nations live” and see how she’d be living if she were in a third-world Marxist country (like her idiot father is trying to turn the U.S. into).
The Obama’s are simply following the advice of the late Jim Morrison:
“I’M GONNA GET MY KICKS BEFORE THE WHOLE SHITHOUSE GOES UP IN FLAMES”
