Michelle Obama at an earlier vacation in Spain.
There have been no media reports on First Lady Michelle Obamas extended Hawaii vacation since it was abruptly announced she was staying behind when her husband and daughters returned to Washington from the familys annual Christmas vacation to the state where the president was raised as a teenager.
A Google News search shows only a handful of articles just after New Years Day based on local reports Obama was staying at the Maui estate of Oprah Winfrey. Those articles mentioned Maui locals upset by road closures near Winfreys estate. Since then there have been no reports of Obama dining out (which she loves to do), hitting the beach or being seen in public at all.
The only reporter to break the news blackout of late is Keith Koffler, who reported that according to a White House schedule, she is expected to headline a White House event this Wednesday, thus ending her nearly four week vacation.
The Obama administration has a history of bullying the press to keep them from reporting on the Obama familys luxury vacations at taxpayer expense. Once again it appears the media has acquiesced. Not even the paparazzi have dared take pictures of Obama on her extended vacation.
Koffler reported it is estimated Obamas separate return travel and Secret Service retinue will cost an additional $200,000 on top of the estimated $4 million cost of the familys Christmas vacation.
The First Lady turns 50 years old this Friday. A gala White House party is planned for Saturday night, but guests are being encouraged to eat dinner beforehand. The Obamas would have had to borne the cost of their guests dinner as this is a private party and not an affair of state that could be paid by the taxpayers. There is no word on whether there will be a cash or open bar.
Obama wont stay home for long, however. She is set to wing her way to the West Coast at the end of January for Democratic Party fundraisers in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
That is one pitiful picture. They are both so unhappy.
What’s Reggie Love going to do?
the state where the president was raised as a teenager.
Interesting, not where he was born???
If they have marriage rehab there.
I believe that saying that Michelle was staying in Hawaii for her birthday was lie #4568 emanating from this WH.
There is nothing this WH won’t lie about...
She will emerge looking different just like Hillary looks different after her months-long hiatus following Benghazi.
Cosmetic surgery, face lift. It takes weeks for the swelling to subside.
Just the kind of thing a rich old gal would want when she turns 50.
It will be fun to compare before and after photos after she emerges.
Will Mauai tip over?
I guarantee you...not a dime will come out of the Obama's pockets.
I know how it's done and how it's covered.....I assure you.

Disgusting grifters.
Blackout? That rasis!
“Maybe shes at the Betty Ford Clinic.”
More like the Betty Crocker Clinic.
Maybe the National Enquirer is right, and the media, ever eager to prop up their Clown, is obeying his boss Valerie.
I know well how it is done. The presidents pay for their own expenses. Period.
wait, nevermind
"...incident, sources said the first couple moved into separate White House bedrooms, and Michelle met with divorce attorneys."
But if Obama golfs 20 times a month, takes lavish trips all the the world and to Hawaii....that's just fine!!
Everything that's wrong with this country can be traced back to our dishonest, corrupt, blatantly biased Mainstream Media.
> Blackout? That rasis!
Yeah. What he said.
Yes interesting
I remember when the National Enquirer was a laughable, sensationalist, unserious rag.
Sad thing, Now I believe these people 100% more than the MSM.
Hell, you have to go to British news papers to get any real news here.

Please don’t be shocked if she returns with a new look...as in... a sex-change, LOL. Maybe she will now be Mike.
