(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.

"I wonder who is paying for her friends’ visits?"

Did anyone ever find out just who these 'friends' are?

Are we paying for the 60 rooms? I suggest the 0-bamas stay on vacation and visit DC occasionally.

Lol! I wish she would. If she did she would face huge criticism in Spain...where they clearly and strongly delineate between things “Spanish” and things “Mexican.”

Also, I think that there is a lot of friction between BO and MO. She may be in a “can you top this?” duel with him as to who can spend the most money and take the most lavish vacations.

Michelle Obama Chooses Spain Over Barack's Birthday

Michelle Obama is bored and so she will spend a few days in Spain, with one of the children — during Barack Obama's birthday! Now he'll just have a slumber party with Biden. And a $1.5 million fundraiser.

Perhaps Michelle feels the need to “make hay while the sun shines” and squeeze in as many taxpayer-funded vacations as she can in four years.

And of course, we should expect she'll probably pick up a few tablecloths and recycled tire belts for her own stylish fall wear...

LOLOL -- or ... that was probably serious.

“The pair and their entourage arrived at the Hotel Villa Padierna . . . “

Our entourage usually consists of my dog, Achilles. He stays in the car, and we stay usually in the Hotel Bestamente Westerna.

‘Course, we’re not royalty.

Why are taxpayers footing this luxury vacation for Michelle and kids?

I'm sure Mama Robinson is along for the ride too? Don't want her having to stay in that big ol White House alone ordering the staff around.

Now you are wandering into the land of the Truly Loopy and some of the more prominent major nutcases, such as Charles Taylor who kept predicting armageddon every couple of years beginning in 1976, on the off chance, I guess, that at some point he might be right up until he died. That said, I think Obama is the hands-down winner in the contest, the pool ol’ King of Spain isn’t even a contender.
