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.

Modern day moor invasion?

I agree, I have been married 26 years and we have never taken separate vacations.

30 Rooms worth of family, security & attendants.

TWO years not FOUR!

WTH are their handlers thinking?

Is that racist to say handlers? It sounds too zoo or circus like.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

My bad I wish he could step down in 2. Sorry wishful thinking on my part. My bad.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Those that advise him are his handlers.

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.

Reminds me of the time he had to hurry to Hawaii about the time the birf certificate thing was an issue. Something about having to see his dying grandmother or something.

Ah! Now I understand why Leonardo DiCaprio pulled out of the viking film.

Where’s the dog? Where’s Bo??

Bo's plane hasn't landed yet.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

He has idiotic handlers.

This only makes sense if Michele has gone to Spain to scout out possible future homes in the event her husband is no longe president. The truth may be closer than we realize.

“Always nice to see that the Obamas are making sacrifices just like the rest of us.”

But, but, they got skin in the game!

I just finished Laura Bush’s book. Didn’t expect it to be as interesting as it was.

When Bush went to the ranch, he had a full working office there and worked office hours for the most part.

Read it all...

The last part...

"Okay, let’s be practical. Here are a few ideas of things Juan Carlos could try if he really needs to firm up popular support for any future demonic plans:

* Launch a new signature fragrance;

* Tour Africa with Bono or Brad and Angelina;

* Do something you need to apologize for, and appear contrite on Larry King or Oprah (preferably both);

* Hire Elliot Mintz as your publicist; and

* Get your own reality TV show.
