MARBELLA, Spain — US First Lady Michelle Obama and her nine-year-old daughter Sasha arrived Wednesday on Spain's Mediterranean coast for a vacation with friends at a luxury hotel where they have booked 60 rooms.
The pair and their entourage arrived at the Hotel Villa Padierna in the hills above the resort town of Marbella, a haunt for the rich and famous, aboard a cavalcade of vehicles. They had flown to Malaga on a US air force plane.
President Barack Obama, who celebrates his 49th birthday on Wednesday, has stayed behind in the United States as did the couple's elder daughter, 12-year-old Malia, who is attending a summer camp.

Racist Spain?
they all flew on US Air Force jet (aka, Air Pelosi)
surely they will all reimburse the government (sarc)
This boondoggle is an astoundingly arrogant display. Who books 60 luxury rooms and fills an entire jet with straphangers for for a “family” vacation? Except maybe the person who buzzed Manhattan in Air Force One?
Especially in the face of the president’s so-called concern for the economic distress of so many Americans...
WTH are their handlers thinking?
Obama is getting his freak on with his boy toy and mom does not want the girls to see.
Meeting with the King is a ruse to make it an official visit and therefore on the taxpayer’s dime.
“she” is meeting the King of Spain to add official cover for this massive luxury excursion
Say WHAT? So Michelle is going to tell the King Of Spain and maybe Prince Charles to back off suckas? You’re joking right?
Is the King of Spain up for the global communism antichrist ruler bid?
It would be worth the expense just to see the Wookie wear that pinata dress in public just one more time!
no time for peasants.
Now Obama has the place to himself so Larry can give him his birthday present.
Probably unexpected and unprecedented too. This incident likely needs to spend more time with its family.
How many of MY tax dollars are going to their seemingly weekly vacations. I hope to see the Obamas on a permanent vacation as soon as possible! Government was is out of control and despicable.
Yes I agree. It seems very coincidental that the Blago verdict is about to happen and Barry is visiting Chicago for his birthday by himself. Could be sending a message or making some other arrangements.
Ummm... your rant needs a little work. It’s been quite a long time since a FLOTUS has traveled commercial.
“President Barack Obama, who celebrates his 49th birthday on Wednesday, has stayed behind in the United States...”
I could be wrong, but I thought the supreme commander was staying behind in the US so he could perform his all-important presidential duties by flying to Chicago on his birthday to visit his buddies, rub elbows with his fellow criminals, attend fundraisers, maybe take a bath somewhere...
How many of MY tax dollars are going to their seemingly weekly vacations. I hope to see the Obamas on a permanent vacation as soon as possible! Government waste is out of control and despicable. Vacations, expense accounts, free booze, food and whatever else they can bilk out of us. Everyone in this lousy government, with few exceptions, should be not only fired but investigated for stealing from the people of America!
Why 60 rooms? I know the jokes write themselves but this just isn’t funny. These Obama looters are downright obsessed with spending taxpayers’ paychecks several generations out. They want to make sure Americans and any potential descendants are robbed of anything and everything, even the dignity of having an American First family.
It’s as if Amalek has become the king of Israel.
And while she is there she will probably pick up a bunch of cases of wine and other spirits for our dear leader's party nights at the WH.
And of course, we should expect she'll probably pick up a few tablecloths and recycled tire belts for her own stylish fall wear...
Recover Summer World Tour!
“Meeting with the King is a ruse to make it an official visit and therefore on the taxpayer’s dime.”
Probably willing to do it only if it didn’t conflict with whenever The View is broadcast. Mustn’t conflict with the First Lady’s schedule. Incidentally, look for a similar “official luxury trip” with only Malia. As the mother of two daughters, I know you absolutely must treat them equally. (Yes, I know Malia is at camp but trust me, it doesn’t count.)
The big joke here is that 1) no one who knows what they are doing goes to Málaga in the summer, just like summering in sweltering Miami Beach isn’t a great plan, either, and 2) Málaga itself is a second- or third-tier beach resort, anyway. The only thing decent there is the Picasso Museum.
