Michelle Obama’s lavish holiday in Marbella has led her to be compared to Marie Antoinette.

The First Lady is in the Spanish city for four days with her daughter Sasha – and a total of 68 Secret Service agents from the US.

She is staying at the five-star Hotel Villa Padierna, where her entourage has reserved 60 of the 129 rooms.

I think their marriage hasn’t had anything there for years now, and now that he’s president, she’s even more miserable and acting out the “bored housewife who just spends money” to get by.
And given how full of himself O is and how he has all these demlib women all hot and bothered over him, I suspect he’s itching for something on the side.

I believe Rush said the rooms are $2500 a night at that hotel. How is that for hope and change?

” Let them eat rice cakes “ is Michelle’s updated motto.
The true cost of the 18 months of this awful woman’s
excessive and extravagant misuse of taxpayer’s money
will probably never be known.
But, it surely is in the millions and millions and millions of dollars.
Michelle did the same Champagne and Caviar vacation in Paris last year , although the entourage wasn’t as big.

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2009/06/05/obama_family_vacation_to_paris_raises_some_eyebrows/

Barry and Michelle had their April vacation, just after the oil spill,
at the Grove Park Inn.
Where Barry played golf twice and they both went to the spa.
http://www.groveparkinn.com/Leisure/PackagesAndSpecials/Presidential_1/Ten_Presidents_Package/

And she took the girls on a luxe California vacation in June ,
when the oil spill was paralyzing the Gulf .
Michelle and Sasha and a large entourage vacationed
at “ the extravagant beachside mansion of billionaire
financial mogul, Howard Marks,”
her entourage
saw the Celtics Lakers playoff game from a “ luxury skybox “ where seats are 5,000/per,
they closed down a Disney park so they could visit,
had VIP tours of Warner Brothers and other places.
Plus, they ate their way through LA -no fat free, healthy food for them !

” Sun. June 13, the Obama girls, accompanied by about a dozen Secret Service agents,
ate a $45 per person dinner of Colorado lamb with fava tartine,
and Bing cherry clafoutis with creme fraiche.
The Lucques menu does have arugula salad http://www.lucques.com/dinner.html,
On Monday they settled in at famed telegenic chef Mario Batali’s,
Pizzeria Mozza,
where Ryan Seacrest was also holding court.”

http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2010/06/17/bonnie-fuller-michelle-obama-los-angeles-vacation-howard-marks-billionaire-barack-obama-bp-lakers/

The constant 5 Star vacations , during severe economic times and two wars, with record death tolls in Afghanistan
( her faux husband’s war )
goes way beyond tone deaf and insensitive.
Michelle is spitting in the eyes of all Americans .

Dinner for 14 today at the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant:

“lobster with rice and oysters followed by a Spanish bread pudding called torrijas...

with red and white wines.”

The bar bills alone must be staggering.

It's a shame that European newspapers have to print stories that the American news media are too Left-wing to print.

SS recipients have their retirement checks frozen for two years, no COLA increase. That affects my government pension check, no COLA raise because SS does not get one. But our leaders have done nothing but play golf and travel like Around the World in 80 Days.

I’m living on SS,too.

Michelle says to us senior citizens:

“Let them eat cat food!”

I would prefer to have Marie Antoinette.

Who, historically, has had a very bad rap, totally undeserved...

From what I know about the true history of MA I think the comparison is an insult to MA.

To those of us, like yourself, who *do* know the true history of Marie Antoinette, and the vicious, and totally unfounded canards which still persist, centuries later, it isn't just an insult, but a mortal one...

Take a look at Andrea Tantaros. If Andrea tagging Michelle as a modern day Marie Antoinette doesn't enrage the First Lady enough, Andrea's looks will send her over the top.

Camden Closing Library System

CAMDEN, N.J. - New Jersey's most impoverished city will close all three branches of its public library at year's end unless a rescue can be pulled off.

Luxurious: The Obamas and their party are staying at the Villa Padierna in Marbella, which is rated as one of the top hotels in the world.
