IN a major behind-the-scenes blowout, President BARACK OBAMA and first lady MICHELLE waged their worst White House fight ever over her lavish vacation trip to China!
Sources tell The ENQUIRER that Obama exploded when Michelle refused to cancel her pricey getaway – even after White House advisers warned him that the first couple’s six-year string of extravagant vacations had already drained the U.S. Treasury of a whopping $150 million in taxpayers’ money.
Michelle arrived in Beijing with her mother, Marian Robinson, and the Obamas’ daughters, 15-year-old Malia and Sasha, 12, on March 20 for a planned seven-day, three-city trip.
They checked into the lavish presidential suite at the Beijing Westin hotel, costing a whopping $8,350 per night.
One published report quoted hotel employees grumbling about Michelle’s mom “barking at the staff ” and added that the first lady’s party was “inconveniencing pretty much everyone.”
Besides the family’s annual August vacation on ritzy Martha’s Vineyard and Christmas holiday in Hawaii, Michelle jetted off to Mexico and Spain in 2010, and kicked up her heels at a posh ski resort in Vail, Colo., in 2011.
In March 2011, she spent five days in Latin America with her mother and daughters. Three months later, they were joined by Michelle’s niece and nephew for a safari in South Africa.
In June 2013, the first lady spent two days in Ireland. That trip required booking 30 rooms at an exclusive hotel for her staff and security detail, costing taxpayers a reported $5 million.
“Michelle does whatever she wants and goes wherever she wants. It’s as if she’s tacked up a map of the world and put pins on all the places she wants to visit. The sad part is that taxpayers are paying for her bucket list.”

theres is a marriage of convenience...as much as the clinton “marriage” has ever been
Nope... No Divorce while they can ride THIS Gravy Train.!
A broken clock is right twice a day ... LOL ...
lol, I saw that
National Enquirer has broken some heavy stuff before. Besides, these days the MSM is such a joke, it has the same level of reliability.
I’m not writing it off as impossible.
APRIL FOOLS anyone?
You may mean John Edwards, but in any case, when you look at the credibility of the Lamestream Media nowadays, the Enquirer fares pretty well.
Anyone who doubts the FLOTUS is one self-absorbed narcissistic and anti-American bee-word just hasn’t been paying attention.
Maybe there will be some breaking news on the Cartoon Network.
I’m with you, same rationale.
They were right about Silky pony, weren’t they?
The National Enquirer has long been fairly accurate when it came to political shenanigans.
They are the ones that torpedoed John Edwards presidential aspirations.
Its a herd of Moose?
The only problem there, with the clock being right twice a day — is that you don’t know WHICH STORY that applies to until AFTER THE FACT and when it becomes obvious in the regular news. Until then - it could be a flying saucer story, or a pregnant woman giving birth to a cow at age 90 ... :-) ...
And when you “know it’s true” by other sources - you find out you never needed the National Enquirer in the first place.
In other words ... they’re totally useless.
I’m so sick of the Obamas I could vomit.
Pure luck ... and you didn’t know it for sure until “after the fact” and when it became mainstream. And by that time, you didn’t need them in the first place.
.... It’s a sad state of affairs when the National Inquirer is a more reputable news source than the so called Main Stream Media! Sadly I have grown to trust the National Enquirer more than the standard media news sources out there .... LOL
2nd that..........
you are correct...he doesn’t give a flip but dems runnin in 2014 sure as hell do and are bendin his ear about it....DAILY.
as for as these two....he cannot stand how she plays the “ you are a queer card “ on him to get her every want and need
and lastly....if American was “ down with queers “ meanin it’s all cool......her butt would be on a curb YESTERDAY
Monica Lewinski. Obama birthing issue. John Edwards. Obama’s gay past. Michelle’s extravagant vacations.
Yep. Just luck and all covered by National Enquirer.
It couldn’t be because the National Enquirer is surprisingly well connected politically speaking and is willing to pay good bucks to get good sources. Nope, just luck.
And the Moocher might be a beard???
Oh my!!!
