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.

Does she carry the nuclear football with her? Or is she the nuclear football?

It looks like she is carrying two of them - in her back pockets.

This Wookie, along with her lop-eared sophomoric communist husband, deserves to be pilloried and whipped with a brine-soaked rattan cane!

This trash is doing everything they can to destroy what remains of the dignity of the Oval Office after Clinton’s shenanigans. Hussein never saw the Presidency for what it is- the highest position of public service. That’s why he was such a good campaigner but such a poor executive in office. Other than the opportunities it gives him to enact his hatred of America and all the good things it has meant, to him it’s no more than being elected “most popular person” combined with utmost political power. He is a petty little person with a petty little mind and has shrunk the office of President to ft him accordingly. His wife is what he would he be if he didn’t have real power. He uses his power to engage in his petty vendettas and grudges. She goes shopping. They are both trash acting like trash. This is what we have in the White House after all the great men who’ve been there.

I’ve wondered, if he is re-elected (perish the thought) what he’ll use instead of Greek columns this time. This is our “American Idol” president only with real power to harm this nation, though he’s a petty little person using this power.

Is it just me but I don’t see any resemblance to BHO in the daughters.

The eldest looks like Rev. Wright.

He can't use the Greek columns this time, they've been repossessed by the repo men.

This article is 100% BS and pure manipulation. It's propaganda put out by the Axelrod spinmeisters.

Calssic variation of good cop, bad cop. Moochelle wants the pricey Hawaiian vacation. Rugged mountain man Obama wanted to rough it at Camp David in a boring area.

Who's kidding who? The Sloth-in-Chief loves the 57th state, he loves the golfing, the beach, the luxurious water-front estate, the scenic tours with his long caravan of one limousine and fifty Volts, the pricey restaurants and yummy ice cream stands.

I'd like to see the day he'd prefer Camp David over Hawaii.

The media thinks we're such unreasoning idiots.

"not to mention Bo the dog flying in for the photo op with Hussein at Petco"

Has it been verified that Bo went with the First Wookie to Hawaii and then was flown back for the photo op? All I've seen is a blog speculating without verification...not saying it wouldn't have been done, just want proof before I go spreading this "rumor".

Actually the charges of extravagance fit. And if this constant separate travel by the First Lady and President is any indication, the lack of marital bliss is very similar.

Antoinette gambled and spent to exalt herself in the eyes of the court. And by age 21 had been shunned by her own husband as having “lost her grace.”

There are far more likenesses than differences. Both countries in deep debt... Lack of marital bliss showing in all forms of public relations displays... The wife with rumors of running about with members of the court...(Michelle has a body-guard on the side?) To the extravagant travels ... The are key and core likenesses more so than just the, "Let them eat cake," attitude. Or in the case of Michelle..."Eat your peas."

She’s the first weapon we drop on Iran. We strap her to the port wing, Hillary Clinton to the starboard, and Helen Thomas in the center bomb bay.

Use of public monies should be treated as a sacred trust. That money was earned by someone and was extracted at the threat of jail.

Extravagent vacations with this money is obscene, especially in this economy and speaks to the moral impoverishment of Michelle Obama.

$4M = 10,000 weeks of unemployment @ $400 / week.

They did this out of compassion to identify with 10,000 99%-families living on unemployment? They have about 9,990,000 more families to go? I see.
