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.

‘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.

So now he’s throwing his wife under the bus. It was her not him, who wanted to spend holiday time in Hawaii. Yadayadya & blahblahblah. I don’t believe a word of it. There’s no way he “really” wanted to spend our Christian holydays at Camp David. He makes anyone available, including his wife, his scapegoat, nothing new in this story.
The obama’s do deserve condemnation but I reserve my harshest criticism for the IDIOTS who voted for Barry HUSSEIN.
She just wants to shop at Target, pick up a few things, right?
Maybe there is a new Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles in Hawaii.
They are just like us, you know.

From 1999.....a friend of BJ’s owns the rag.
Published: November 02, 1999
In an era when Congress worries about multibillion-dollar megamergers and corporate chiefs with creased, sweaty brows testify before Congressional subcommittees about the threat of monopolization, one question has yet to rear its head: what happens if one media company starts to corner the market on tabloid gossip?
Today, America may find out as The National Enquirer (this week’s headline: ‘’Woody Allen’s Bizarre Lust for Young Girls’’) and Star magazine (’’Hunky Prince William is Moving to U.S.: Look Out Girls’’) are joined in tabloid bliss with The Globe (’’Ravaged TV Beauty Beats Booze!’’) under the same owners.
American Media, the company that owns The National Enquirer and Star, is expected to announce today that it will acquire the Globe Communications Corporation for $100 million in cash, said executives close to the deal. The price is five times Globe Communications’ annual cash flow of about $20 million.
American Media is owned by Evercore Capital Partners, which is headed by former Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger C. Altman, who is a close friend of President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton, arguably the first family not only of the country, but of the tabloid press. Mr. Altman had no comment about the deal yesterday.
I just attribute this lavish behavior to the culture from which Michelle emerged. We are a "multi-cultural" society, aren't we? Michelle's culture just likes to live a little higher on the hog.
Subscribers to some of our cultures here in he US will break down the doors to obtain $180-a-pair Michael Jordon sneakers. My own culture is different - we can't imagine destroying other peoples' property *or* paying $180 for a pair of hard-earned money for a pair of sneakers.
“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.”
The fifty Volts, that’s funny.
Oh but she and The Children Prayed to every Fairy they Knew of,so that the President would be able to be with them on Christmas
Let me see now....she flew the coop (albeit a luxurious one) and then prayed that dufus would be able to join her? How about, she should have stayed by her dufus’ side until he could get away?
