(AFP) – 1 hour ago

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.

These Obama looters...

"Looters" is precisely the correct word!

I wonder what how stock prices of guillotine manufacturers are doing these days?

Not good. I hear they had to cut a lot of overhead.

Exactly...I don’t know that the Bush family had a real vacation the whole time he was in office. Unlike the goober in office now, George Bush actually worked at his job.

Sorry Tina.

If it’s any consolation — I believe that we are all rewarded for what we do or don’t do. At some point, those two and their accomplices will get what they really deserve. And if karma is really good, they will be living out the rest of their lives in jail.

This is the authority on healthy eating and exercise?

She has at least a 42-inch waist, her arms(tm) are thickened and poor little Sasha is a pudge.

Lots of motels let your dog in the room for an extra $10. Our Bo* loves to travel, loves *his* van, but thinks it is a treat to stay in the room with us.

“The big joke here is that 1) no one who knows what they are doing goes to Málaga in the summer.”

So true. I am sure Gordon Brown and the Brits got a big laugh out of this.

It went from 30 rooms to twice that?????!!!!!!!???? 30 was bad enough!!! They shouldn’t even be there, apart from Urkel on his fake birthday, but if they just HAD to go (yeah, right), all they need is one room for Wookie and the 9-year old.

Oh they will justify it by saying that the king of Spain invited her to visit and say hi.

How many rooms do secret service agents take up?

I agree 60 is ridiculous but how many agents travel with her, anyone know?

I read multiple articles saying 30 rooms. I think all news has jumped the shark.

That birthday cake photo with the family is 6 years old. Zer0 is celebrating his 49th birthday today—not his 43rd.

I don’t care if it’s 1 or 90 rooms. The Obamas are way too extravagant with our tax dollars.
