Wow so it took a week to come up with this lame spin. Getting harder for the booster club to carry water for the first family and their extravagant tastes.

Did you read the comments after the article? Looks like NO ONE is buying this whitewash attempt.

It’s bizarre, you have Queen Elizabeth taking a public train with a single bodyguard and the First Lady of the US taking these lavish trips with a whole retinue.

Supposedly Mobama, 2 other women, and 4 daughters w/ them.
I began to wonder about the ‘30-40 friends’ reports when we didn’t see any pics of Desiree Rogers fighting to get between Mobama and the cameras.

She couldn’t make the funeral in early July?? Weren’t the haloed one and wife on another vacation in early July?.If the decision to go was made around the middle of July, I find it hard to believe that this place had so many rooms available on such short notice. You can’t get a room in Cape Cod for 5 nites without booking in March. That would mean a lot of people were asked to cancel their vacation plans to open up space for this party. Unless this resort didn’t have any guests scheduled the first week in August.

Maybe if she takes a few more $375,000 vacations on the taxpayers dime, she will start to be "proud to be an American?"
And remember---the first story out was that she was going to Spain (not for her bereaved friend) but b/c she wanted to focus on being a Mom.
Since the other daughter is away at camp---does this to mean another $375,000 vacation to focus on being a mom?
These two Lower Slobbovians are dragging free Americans into the slavery of Marxism WHILE THEY enjoy the benefits of capitalism.

First, some numbers. Mrs. Obama did not travel with 40 friends, a number used by some news outlets. I heard that there were as many as 60 in the entourage. Now, here is a claim of 7. Which is true?

Actually, I think that Queen Zero needs to take MORE vacations. Perhaps a couple more before NOVEMBER.
They need to be covered extensively on The View, Today Show, Oprah. Exclusive access, behind the scenes stuff. The more fawning, the better.
November is coming.

I'm told she made the trip because she promised one of her closest friends, a longtime Chicago pal who just lost her father, she would spend time with her. How very moving.
I swear, these people will lie to you about what toothpaste they buy.

You are being so kind my friend. This bunch of ‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’ are starting to remind me of Taylor from Liberia. The only difference I see at present is that Taylor just killed the people that were against him. He ran his country into the septic tank and “0” is doing the same.

This miscue is sure gonna gum up their political plans for her to do another Hillary.
People will not be able to stand the sight of her——and him.

She says let them eat cake(from their unemployment compensation) :)
Rush has been on this. I enjoy listening to him now more than ever.

oh sure, and they couldn't possibly "spend time together" on the US gulf coast where they could support a return of tourist visitors and money to a crashing local economy --- must better to bring your biz-ness to 5-star hotels in Spain, Michelle!

OK, so she wanted to console a friend after the death of a parent.
What has that to do with taxpayer funding of a jet-set extravaganza to Spain?
