I guess the taxpayer will fund the trip because she is visiting the King of Spain?

I understand how the French people felt about Marie Antoinette living large while they starved.

Only $2859 per night? WTF? Were all the good suites already taken? Sheesh! They can’t treat our royalty like that!

[Nachum]

The list, ping

I have a friend who feels the need to leave her position as a consultant in a much needed area of human services because much of her work comes from the federal government, and she can no longer accept being a guest speaker at conferences of federal employees where everyone is staying at 4 and 5 star hotels and living it up at taxpayer expense.

It's a shame, because she has a lot to offer in an area where good people like her are badly needed.

$2800 (a nite) is a small price to pay to keeping Obama out of Washington D.C...

[SumProVita]

Is she using her own money for this trip?

It’s good to be the queen.

"Barack will require you to work"

And now we know why, right Michelle?

I suspect that the WH staff is either afraid to counsel the Obamas about their foolish behavior OR they try but neither BO nor MO listen. Really, can ANYONE be this stupid! You’d have to be TRYING to tick off as many Americans as possible with these in-your-face, gauche nouveau-riche stunts.

The Obama’s to a suffering nation: Qu’ils mangent de la brioche.

[Logical me]

Any doubt that King Obama won the lottery. They will cost us billions before we get rid of this communists as@.

Marie Antoinette: Madame the people have no bread .."Well let them eat cake..."

Michelle Obama: Madame the people have no jobs....Well, let them vacation in Spain

[Ktulu]

hey cut her some slack...she’s only a couple years removed from worrying about credit card bills...and stuff. At least that’s what Bambi would have you believe.

This is the resort Michelle and her,"undisclosed" friends will be staying.

[popdonnelly]

Why do these people need so many vacations? They’ve never done a day’s work in their lives.

[snowsislander]

I don't think that even the Ritz-Carlton in Marbella has 30 rooms that cost $2859 per night.

I am not sure that they even have one; the most expensive that I could find was a villa at only 1540 euros.

I did find a combo package clearly meant for large parties at 2200 euros per night; occupancy is set at 6 people; the package includes 3820 square feet inside and 2217 outside, with separate dining area, two separate bedrooms, two restrooms, three terraces, five telephone lines, and breakfast is included for up to six guests.

WELL, well! Guess not getting invited to Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding really put her nose out of joint. Therefore,in order to NOT be totally over-looked, Le Petit Michelle decided to “Show the rest of the World that SHE had something BETTER to do that weekend”! Granted, I’m just being a “smart alek” here, but with the whole Country going to hell in a handbasket, is this really a good time to be wasting the Tax Payers hard earned money??????????

[mikrofon]

At ~3K per night of taxpayer money, the payin’ in Spain goes mainly down the drain...

[Political Junkie Too]

Is that with the AAA discount?
