Michelle Obama Quits Washout California For Private Jet Flight to Billionaire's Paradise Getaway
Daily Mail ^ | 16:31 EST, 23 January 2017 | y Ryan Parry, West Coast Correspondent, In Palm Springs For Dailymail.com

Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have left Palm Springs after a weekend break in the desert - with the ex-first lady bound for the Carribean.

An eight-vehicle motorcade left the home of Spanish Ambassador James Costos and his partner Michael Smith, where the Obamas had been staying, around 10am and headed to a private terminal next to Palm Springs International Airport.

A Riverside County Sheriff's Department vehicle blocked traffic in both directions on Highway 111 as the motorcade sped to the airport.

Once there former First Lady Michelle was seen boarding a private jet owned by Sir Richard Branson.

The aircraft was waiting on the tarmac next to the Signature Flight Support as the motorcade pulled in just before 11am.

It was later revealed to have filed a flight plan to the British Virgin Islands' main airport. Branson's private island of Necker is part of the Carribean archipelago

Her husband wasn't seen boarding the flight.but Tom Nolan, the airport's executive director, later confirmed that the former president also departed Monday morning but it's not clear whether the couple left together

It is unclear if Branson was on board. The Virgin boss posted an Instagram video 10 hours before the plane took off which appeared to have been filmed in Necker, his private Carribean island.

No. Costo was American ambassador to Spain, not “Spanish ambassador.”
Reporters are stupid.
Trump did not renew his contract, so he’s back home in US now.

The Spanish sent a pervert as ambassador?

What are they mad at us for?

I'm guessing the Spanish-American War.

So, all the Obamas are in non-extradition isles or nations, flown on KNIGHT Branson’s plane to his isle.. does he have the same immunity diplomats enjoy? 8 car motorcade? How many fleeing possible Pizzagate participants were in those Chevys and on that jet?

Couldn’t they go back to their mansion in Hawaii to dig their toes in the sand? What about their rented DC mansion? Doesn’t zero have a ton of work he committed to, taking DJT down? Why flee the US first thing Monday after the inaug?

Why in the heck do they need an 8 vehicle motorcade? We better not be paying for it.

8 vehicles X 6 people and luggage to fill Branson’s 50-passenger jet. Who all escaped with them?

The Falcon GF900EX jet she used typically seats 12 to 14 passengers, not 50.
