Is Michelle Obama's spending 'spiralling out of control'? First Lady 'insisted on $4m trip to Hawaii when her husband wanted local vacation'

Michelle Obama insisted on a pricey holiday to Hawaii when her husband would have rather gone to a presidential retreat, according to reports.

She allegedly wanted the taxpayer-funded $4million trip when Barack Obama sought instead to make the short trip to Camp David in Maryland.

Political sources told the National Enquirer that the 47-year-old’s spending is rocketing and she even went on a shopping spree before the Hawaii trip.

Disagreement? Michelle Obama, left, reportedly wanted the $4million Hawaii trip when Barack Obama sought instead to go to Camp David in Maryland

‘The President’s advisers have told him that Michelle’s spending has spiralled “completely out of control”,’ one source told the National Enquirer.

‘Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was “no way” she was going to disappoint her daughters.’

The First Family has already attracted criticism as their annual vacation in Hawaii this year is likely to be their most expensive ever.

Mary Todd got a bad rap. She had some fancy dresses, not a Boeing.

while her husband tries to save the U.S. economy.

This sentence is 10,000,000 more ominous then Shelly's spending habits.

Of course she is pushing for bigger, more extravagant things. Look for it to get steadily worse. She can read the writing on the wall: hussein is doomed in the next election. The MSM may think he has a shot, the ‘rats may think he can do it, even many in the GOP may see party weaknesses and worry that he could get a second term. But she knows, she is privy to the inside story, knows the corruption and crime that is tenuously holding hussein in office and out of prison. She can see it coming to a rapid and ugly end. Therefore she is going to ride it for all it is worth. Wait and see - yet another sign of hussein’s coming collapse.

Is that a doctored photo of Marie Antoinette?

If so, it reminds me that Ann Coutler writes in her book, "Demonic", about how historians have painted a false picture of Antoinette.

Charges of lesbianism and incest were co-erced through torture. Apparently Antoinette was a faithful Christian woman who sympathized with the plight of the masses but was the victim of a media and community agitator types bent on revolution that stirred up an Occupy-style hysteria that culminated in her beheading.

I don't know. I didn't study The French Revolution. But, according to Ann Coulter, what is taught about The French Revolution on today's college campuses is a lie.

My God, what a classless slovenly embarrassment to the American people. Does she understand for one nanosecond the role of First Lady?
