The Obamas' summer break on Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets.
But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances.
White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.
Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.
The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.
'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.'
The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.
And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.
The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.
'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.'

Mrs. Great Leader is doing her part in the stick-it-to-whitey campaign.
You mean she spent 10m and she’s still ugly? Now that’s disgraceful.
She is the most useless first lady this country has ever had. She does absolutely nothing to deserve being in the WH.
Larry Sinclair wears the ring.
This skank keeps the rats out of the white hut.
Her countenance makes me think she is about to bite your face off and spit it out.
My guess is that most of them will simply be awed beyond comment.
“Will the base be envious or angry?”

Well, the Obots probably think it is just maahhvaluss.
It is collective revenge for all those years of oppression....
Don’tcha know?
I can remember almost 50 years of First Ladies in the White House and, regardless of party affiliation, this is the first one who I can say is totally without class.
Ugly to the bone.
and if you thought the clintons were trailer trash...
Has anybody fact-checked this besides TNE? There has to be an accounting somewhere out there since its tax payers moolah.
There are many stories about her mean spirit that have leaked out through WH staff and Secret Service personnel. That scowl validates all of them. The wrong side of her is not the place to be.
whatza few million for vacays?
you’re a racist if you disagree.
/s
The china that Nancy Reagan bought (with donated private money) is still in use at the White House today.
And Barack can’t do much to stop her. After all, she’s bigger than he is.

I’m going on my first 1 week vacation in 3 years tomorrow but had to do next week’s work ahead of time. I have 120 hours clocked since last Wednesday.
These clowns have probably never worked 120 hours in their lifetime.
The FIRST family should be an example for the rest of America. Instead we have a family that personifies EVERY SINGLE THING wrong with America.
FUBO and FUMO
Also recently the cost of Cindy McCain’s dress? Which she paid for with her own money BTW.
I can’t remember...did they hold Congressional Hearings over Nancy Reagans purchase of China for the White House? /s
