(AFP) – 1 hour ago

MARBELLA, Spain — US First Lady Michelle Obama and her nine-year-old daughter Sasha arrived Wednesday on Spain's Mediterranean coast for a vacation with friends at a luxury hotel where they have booked 60 rooms.

The pair and their entourage arrived at the Hotel Villa Padierna in the hills above the resort town of Marbella, a haunt for the rich and famous, aboard a cavalcade of vehicles. They had flown to Malaga on a US air force plane.

President Barack Obama, who celebrates his 49th birthday on Wednesday, has stayed behind in the United States as did the couple's elder daughter, 12-year-old Malia, who is attending a summer camp.

Is all the Obama’s do is ruin this country and take holidays?

60 rooms at a luxury price will pay my mortgage off 7 times.

Always nice to see that the Obamas are making sacrifices just like the rest of us.

I wish the media criticized them like they did Bush for vacations. At least Bush usually just went home.

FUBO

I thought it was 30 rooms? Did it suddenly double, or is that an error?

You may be correct as the other day when the media were discussing/reporting this they said it was shrouded in secrecy as to why SHE is meeting the King.

Strange!

“They had flown to Malaga on a US air force plane.”

Of course since odumbo was not on it, it was not AF1 but which plane was it, the presidential 747? Somehow I doubt it was a lessor plane. Along with the secret service protection, her aides, friends and other hangers on, it is a wonder it was only one plane, if that is true. Are there no commercial planes available to fly to Spain that her highness has to use an air force plane anyway??

The city is keen to turn the page on a reputation for sleaze which it gained in the 1990s ...

Somehow, I don't think inviting these Chicagoans will help amend Marbella's notoriety for sleaze and unsavory denizens.

If we citizens are paying for those rooms, we have the RIGHT to know about it.

FREEDOM of information! Oh yeah...I forgot. Obama the Transparent is canceling all that beginning with the SEC...

Strange.

Did the state dept do this for white presidents when they went to Africa or racially motivated countries?

I thought only rich white Americans were racists?

Im confused, truly.
