First Lady Michelle Obama arrived in Aspen on Friday afternoon and is here with her daughters for a ski vacation.
Few details about her trip were available. Sources said she is staying at the home of Jim and Paula Crown, owners of the Aspen Skiing Co. She is reportedly skiing at Buttermilk today, where the Crowns, of Chicago, own a home on the Tiehack side.
Several people have known about the “low-key” vacation, with the Secret Service in town for the past few days scoping out places for the family to relax and enjoy what the resort has to offer.
Pitkin County Sheriff Joe DiSalvo confirmed that he has met with the Secret Service and has loaned seven deputies to help protect the first lady and her family.

She and the Chicago crowd are bringing back the effete snobbery we thought had been buried with the Windsor’s.
[And she learned to ski when??]
I lived in Aspen for 3 years in the early 1980’s and I could count on one hand the amount of AfAms I saw. I heard she never did ski at Vail last year just her kids. Maybe she thinks she looks cute in a ski outfit.
I wonder what gov’t aircraft she used to get into Aspen with a short runway and steep take off pattern it would limit the Queen.
Total irony.
Baraq the one percenter masquerades as an Occupy guy.
And the media cheers him on.
What a shocker! A group of men being critical of a woman’s appearance! Vacation criticism, like those of all First Ladies (Laura Bush took plenty of vacations) is legit. Criticism of their appearance is not legit and is sexist. I saw posts about Laura’s thick ankles and shapeless legs, and that being why she wore pants so often. I saw posts years ago criticizing her for not wearing dresses more often. I saw posts criticizing her hair, her supposedly squinty eyes, her matronly fashion style, etc., etc. All out of bounds, IMO. They didn’t run for office and are not Presidents. They’re just married to the guy and do their best to dress appropriately, have the required pet projects, and continue to raise their children and keep their marriages intact.
Novelist Dean Koontz estimates some $80 billion is missing from the US Treasury since the Chicago crowd came in.
I have no idea why you chose to post to me.
Mars signed an agreement with Michelle Obama's partnership for a healthier America to stop selling chocolate products with more than 250 calories in them by the end of next year. This means popular favorites like Big Snickers and Twix bars are going to disappear off the shelves and smaller bars will shrink.
Michelle works 3 days a week. She needs a lot of vacations. *sarcasm*
All of her lies and anger would wear anyone out. And the healing of those in wheelchairs exhausting.
She has to get vacations in while taxpayers foot the majority of the bill. The grifters will have to pay for their own vacations after 2013.
I think you're thinking of Hillary Clinton, who lost out on life's lottery in the legs department. She has unarguably the ugliest legs ever seen on a woman and always wears pants because of her elephant legs.
Laura Bush, on the other hand, has lovely legs.
And if you saw posts condemning Laura Bush's appearance, you must have seen them on Bush hating sites, because you didn't read that stuff here.
Which makes one wonder if you're one of those trolls we read about all the time.
Hello again, TexasBud. Not to hijack this thread, but I just scanned your prior posts and see you are an Obama voter.
So, you going to vote for him again?
“I’m surprised they’re not at Whitney’s funeral, soaking up votes!”
I am absolutely shocked that they are both not going to be there!!!
I hope she skis better than she lies.
Whoa! Late to the party, I see.
Anyone who believes “Let’s Move” is just a pet project deserves the zot.
The Paula Crown affair. Promises of ethical management at the White House have clearly not been met
