Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in
Daily Mail ^ | 8/24/11 | Tamara Abraham

The Obamas' summer break in Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol. The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage

Remember The National Enquirer broke the Lewinsky story and the Edwards baby/daddy story.

I would not put it past them to bill American taxpayers for each other’s personal gifts.

It is the ghetto mentality. Nothing outside is going to change that.

“... ut to be fair I really don’t take the National Enquirer seriously.”

You should, they are far more of what news papers used to be than the main stream newspapers like the NY Times and Washington Post. And they have broken several major stories before anyone in the MSM have even been interested.

MICHELLE OBAMA BOOZE BINGES

Michelle Obama - cracking under the pressure of being First Lady - is drinking way more than she should, friends fear.

Longtime pals have been keeping a close eye on her White House booze intake for months, sources told The ENQUIRER, and her husband President Barack Obama even stepped in when she recently consumed too much alcohol.

“When Barack saw Michelle drink more than she should at a recent dinner, he hit the roof. He told her, ‘This is NOT going to turn into a problem!’” a close source told The ENQUIRER.

I know, I know - national enquirer, but there are other sources as well. If Michelle is drinking a lot, imagine the rest of us!

Which leads me to believe this means either the Obama’s are getting the goods while the getting’s good or they know the next election is bought and paid for. This is not the behavior of someone who needs public approval to continue being President.

Bush “vacationed” at the Camp David Presidential Retreat.

The Obama’s vacation in mansions and 5-star hotels at taxpayer expense, while the media pretends not to notice.

This is interesting, but to be fair I really don’t take the National Enquirer seriously.

When it comes to aliens, horoscopes and Jeanne Dixon predictions, I would agree. However, the Enquirer has a pretty solid record recently with regard to hard news. When it involves real people, they can't just make stuff up out of thin air. They are subject to libel laws just like everybody else and have had to pay out big $$$ in the past, so they are pretty careful about these things.

Yeah, they should stay at Camp David, which the government already owns anyway.
