OUT-OF-CONTROL MICHELLE OBAMA'S SPENDING SPREE

After blowing nearly a half-million dollars on a Spanish shopping spree, MICHELLE OBAMA has plans to spend a whopping $2 million in the coming year – while the nation struggles with its worst recession ever.

Nearly 15 million people are un employed, but that hasn’t stopped the first lady from “spending like Marie Antoinette” and appearing to live it up “like a lottery winner,” fume outraged critics.

Worried White House advisers have told the president he quickly needs to get his wife “under control” because her reckless spending – on trips, shopping and redecorating – is sending an intensely negative mes sage to Americans in a bad economy and could under­mine his re-election plans.

“The president’s advisers hit the roof recently when they found out Michelle was arranging other ex otic trips in the new year with girlfriends – on top of sprucing up their White House living quarters and her plans to do some redecorating at their home back in Chicago,” dis closed a top Washington source.

“They’ve estimated that all the spending will top more than $2 million!”

Well, she did complain about the extra $60 in rebate the GVT gave us back when Bush was Prez being nothing more than “a pair of earrings”. Oh, you didn’t hear about that? Didn’t read about it in the papers or hear Perky Katie lead off her broadcast about it? I wonder why the liberals would think that might sound a little . . . “elitist”?

YUP. You’re right. Guess I should have looked it up first, huh? I was able to find a piece from the Washington Times that printed her quip. It was about the $600 rebate she said would pay a few bills and then buy a pair of earrings.

I would be very interested in seeing an audit preformed. I’m guessing the Obama’s are almost broke. Is that were some of the anger is coming from. If they aren’t almost broke, where is the money coming?

After the John Edwards deal I no longer discount what the Enquirer says...and this passes the smell test for sure. Smells bad, too.
