Michelle Obama to Vacation in Spain
Earth Times ^

Posted on 07/26/2010 11:58:43 AM PDT by Noob1999

Washington/Madrid - US First Lady Michelle Obama and one of her two daughters will take a summer break in Spain, a White House source said Monday.

Mother and daughter would come to the southern holiday resort of Marbella on a "private visit in the company of old friends," the source told the German Press Agency dpa.

US President Barack Obama will not accompany his wife, the source said.

Spanish media reports said Michelle Obama and her younger daughter Sasha, 9, would be on Spain's Costa del Sol between August 4 and 8.

There had been speculation that Barack Obama might also come to Spain to celebrate his 49th birthday on August 4.

Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, hotel sources said.

The US first lady did not make any special requests, hotel owner Ricardo Arranz said, explaining that the hotel would function normally during her stay.

Earlier on Monday, sources at the Zarzuela royal palace declined to say whether King Juan Carlos would meet Michelle Obama, stressing that there was no official confirmation of the first lady's visit to Spain.

Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government had been disappointed in its hopes of hosting Barack Obama when the US president cancelled his participation in a European Union-US summit that had been scheduled during the Spanish EU presidency in the first half of 2010. The summit was subsequently called off. Copyright DPA

She’s probably going to collect the kickbacks on those “wind power” grants.

So is it a chance to get her toreador outfit out of mothballs or a chance to discuss Zapatero with that goat that tempts Michelle to sunny Spain?

According to Newsmax president dingledorf has an ever increasing death threat list. The locals at the white house probably want him and the family elsewhere so not to attract damage.

Oh, you have got to be effing kidding on this one! AGAIN? Another vacation????? And where will number one daughter be? Babysitting someone’s kids in DC because dear old dad wants the kid to earn some money? Yeah, sure, that’ll
work.

But seriously, ANOTHER EXPENSIVE VACATION??? You can bet FLOTUS’s mother and the rest of the whole motley crew will be along, just as they were in Europe the last time. I don’t even care who is paying — even if they are paying for this themselves (chortle), it just LOOKS bad.

Guess that oil soaked Gulf getaway will be a quickie — if it happens at all. What, an overnight and then off we go to Espana? Good grief!!!

“Just have to wonder, are they so dense that thery can’t see these comparisons coming? “

Seeing how ignorant 0bama is, “57 states”, ect, He may not even KNOW about Marie Antoinette. Who knows what kind of bs classes he took in college, I would imagine “African American studies” and the like. I believe he went to school as a child in Indonesia, maybe they never studied such things. Another possibility is that 0bama and his missus just tuned out all that “white cracker” history. I will add that no matter how ignorant he is of geography and history, MATH and ECONOMICS were undoubtly failed classes for the Marxist moron.

Re: “Michelle is leaving her husband on his birthday? Isn’t that odd? Yes, I would think 30 rooms is a little excessive, especially when it’s seems she’s not celebrating her husband’s birthday with him. However, as long as she’s paying for the rooms, she can do what she wants.”

*************

You can bet if they are all going to Spain, Zero will show up for his birthday!

And no doubt Mama Robinson will be stuck having the 9 year old in her suite of rooms with her so MADAME QUEEN can have her suite to herself.

That’s my new name for FLOTUS: Madame Queen — from an old TV show (heh heh). My late father called me that on occasion when I was acting all uppity!

It’s here; you are reading it on this Board and many others. Here in a very liberal suburb of Los Angeles, just yesterday mind you, I saw a bumper sticker: “You Can’t Blame Bush Anymore!” Wow — finally! ]

On my own vacation to local mountains I saw one that said “Obummer” with zero’s stupid symbol on it. The owner of that car, from SANTA BARBARA of all lib bastions, said mine was the third favorable comment she’d heard that day. And she said that NO ONE in her home area ever flips her off, or yells anything — nothing. HOORAY!!!

Not to worry — if Madame Queen and her family, friends and minions show up, the Spanish press WILL report on it!

I noticed the Left’s nutroots have changed their strategy. Now it is “Do you really think McCain would have been any better than Obama?”

That’s a hard one. LOL

(First) Lady in Spain, I implore you
Frightened the night I first saw you
My head has been hurting from you
What else would any one’s do?

(First) Lady in Spain, I’m appealing
That your figure you should be concealing
And show nothing very revealing-
(First) Lady in Spain, ‘nuff of you!
