[The Great RJ]

Who is paying for this trip? Clearly the Secret Service agents are at taxpayers expense, but who is paying for Malia's expenses and who is footing the bill for her 12 friends? Presumably for security, Malia didn't fly on a commercial flight, but were her friends riding along on a government flight and did they pay for that privilege?

In these tough economic times who would send their 13 year old and her friends to Mexico without parents especially to stay at some swank resort. Most of use couldn't afford the gas to take our kids on a family vacation let alone to Mexico. This is just more of Maria Antoinette Obams's let the starving peasants eat cake.

This little bash will cost in excess of 48 million dollars.

I figure with Secret Service, planing, logistics, sending advanced teams Secrete Service to sweep the hotels of bugs, bombs, etc., (They basically have to rent out the entire hotel or the top 3 floors, to maintain adequate security), armored vehicles for transportation around Mexico, helicopters for aerial surveillance, medical doctors must be flown in to accompany the young dignitaries, special food, chefs, to make sure no one is poisoned and on an on and on and on.

Mexico loves Obama!
