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

There is something very strange about all of this. My Chicago connections swear Michelle is a beard. Even so, missing father's day and the O’s birthday seems wildly suspicious that something is rotten in Obamark.

This is during her husband’s supposed birthday. Either she, or he, or both are having affairs, OR, the marriage is not a happy one, and they can barely stand each other. Something is up with these two.

"So since this is a "private visit in the company of old friends" who will be reaching for the tab for 30 rooms at a five star hotel??? Why you impudent little worm. How dare you question Her Majestic Highness. NBC,CBS,ABC and the New York Times have enough respect to hold their thoughts in check and their minds in submission. They know their place, why don't you know yours?

Oh boy, oh boy, barryboy can now take his pal rahmboy and fly to Chicago and his favorite gay club, Man's Country in the “Boys Town” section of Chicago.
Old michelle knows she won't be missed by barry, and well, she's already given him his birthday gift....a box of purple condoms, in his favorite SEIU color.
It's good to be “home.”

WE American had better be enraged and not afraid to show it. It's about time we showed same rage and anger, and a thumbs up to those who DO SHOW THEIR RAGE.
We're talking about a takeover of our country and the destruction of the Constitution, the loss of our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THAT WE
HAD BETTER BE ENRAGED AND NOT AFRAID TO SHOW OUR RAGE. And we must stand together, do what we must to WIN in NOVEMBER AND RETURN OUR COUNTRY TO THE CONSTITUTION INCH BY INCH.

Sometimes beards have feelings they can't deny. Michelle is one of them. She shows her feelings of jealousy when an attractive woman is in her presence, she shows anger at obama when she can't hold it in any longer. She knows she's living with a limp-wristed narcissist, who likes men and not michelle, and she can't deny it.
It's always been rotten in Denmark. They're just not hiding it any longer.

Will MOBama and her Boob Belt be meeting up with the Spanish First Family? Doubtful. But, good luck to her if she does.

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. A "break" from WHAT specifically??
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.
And the American people - many of them out of work, and barely able to make ends meet - are paying for this??

I've got to get to bed, so unfortunately I don't have time to research this until sometime tomorrow. Thanks for the info, Hildy!

FELIPE, LETIZIA AND DAUGHTERSWhat a beautiful young family... I admit I know nothing about them. I assume the Spanish royal family operates sort of like the British royal family... in the background behind the Prime Minister and Parliament, et al?
Thank you for posting the photos, btw.
