The bill for the summer-work vacation of first lady Michelle Obama, accompanied to England and Italy by her daughters, mom, and staff, should easily top her entourage's 2010 trip to Spain that cost an eye-popping $467,000.
While the White House didn't provide cost estimates for the week-long visit to London, Milan, Venice, and Vincenza, Italy, the State Department put lodging costs for just a couple nights in Venice at $128,781, according to Free Beacon, and Air Force charges based on a 2012 document for flying her group on past overseas trips indicate that this one will hit $243,000.

“”I cannot stand the scowl on her face. It never goes away!””
She’s permanently angry and her kids seem to be following suit. You would think they’d at least be grateful but NO, it’s like they are put out they have to put up with the rest of us. Ungrateful louts! I can’t wait to be done with them.
I bet it’ll be a lot more than that. Just wait until the room service bills come in.
After spending their own money to hire Prince and Stevie Wonder and rent the white house and hire security and invite 500 guests, I just don’t see how they can afford to drop half a million on a vacay.
“I don’t give a damn,that lobster better be fresh.I don’t care if you have to fly to Maine to get it!”
perhaps the Billy Hilly and Chelsea Clinton Foundation can give them Foreign Aid!?
I cannot get over how utter flippant people are about other peoples money. It is so disgusting to me.
It is so disrespectful.
I’m guessing Moochelle isn’t shopping the economy hotels, like my wife does.
Is Foreign Aid one of those 80s megastar concerts?
Quite expensive, really:
As recently as Harry Truman presidents were expected to pay for their own damn vacations.
Harry even drove himself back to Missouri after he left office.
lol...yep.
First off, first ladies(spouse) should not be able to go on vacations w/o the POTUS on taxpayer’s dime.
Second, POTUS vacations cash should be put on an annual budget.
Dare anyone says it.
Sounds like a low estimate.
She’s supposed to visit Venice. I hope she doesn’t take a gondola ride because she’ll flood the place when she sets her fat ass in the boat.
Those were the days when Presidents went “HOME” for their vacations. But democrat presidents use other peoples residences and hotels for their vacations. Guess their own digs aren’t good enough.
As a matter of fact, the Clintons had no digs. They spent their lives in public housing until they bought the house in Chappaqua.
In between modeling gigs and adoring articles. See Chelsea Clilnton.
I know a cpuple wealthy folks BUT.....the very few who i do know would rarely if ever spend anything like 600K ...... on a years worth of vacations...PLURAL.
I suspect that as the Obies arent spending their OWN money they could give a rip about the cost
We Are the World...
We’re Obama’s Chillens...
Oh Look theres WIllie Nelson in that sea Of Black
HEY maybe WILLIE... is actually...BLACK???
