The Obamas' summer break in Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets. But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances. White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year. Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol. The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage

Just think how bad it would be if she was proud of the country...

Mmmm.........vermouth ice sounds like a great idea. Will try it.

A bartender also wrote that he used a Brita Water Filter to increase the quality of cheap vodka. He ran $5 Aristocrat Vodka through a Brita Water filter 4 times. Says the end result was comparable to Absolut. The process took about a half hour; you don't have to stand there and watch it. Brita comes with one filter that is good for two weeks.

Remember the National Enquirer is owned and operated by Clinton cronies David Kendall & Co.
Could it be they are setting us up for old Hitlery to swoop in on her broom and challenge Barry for the nomination?
I’ve heard crazier theories!

[Cincinna]

Real Presidents do; Barry doesn’t!

I’m surprised they didn’t say gin and juice instead of vodka.

[Howie66]

This is outrageous!

Where is the oversight??

Looking at her face, she's definitely had work done. I see Botox and from the side profile, it looks like a nose job.

That filtration process sounds like it could work, but for the money and effort I would much rather buy higher end vodkas. ;)

BTTT.

Agree—worth the extra bucks for the convenience of just pouring it out....no fuss, no muss, no mess.

Will try the ice trick with the Amaretto for this Eggnog Martin I make at the holidays.

Eggnog Martin: Shake over ice 2 1-2 oz dairy Eggnog, oz Van Gogh Vanilla Vodka, ¾ oz Amaretto.

Strain into chilled martini glass. Dust with grated nutmeg or cinnamon.

Going to have to try this at some christmas parties! How many ozs of vanilla vodka?

Dead, we need the O on the ninth hole with a bucket of Heinekens... okay, you can throw in the Katrina guy (or give O a big screen TV and put the green giant with peas w/ a putter, if you wish).

I’m sure the people’s cube or IOTW got to it already.

The Cube has missed out on many proletariat/for the people red comparisons.

If you really want a fatwa, do the O with Johnny Walker Red.

Time for the White House to rein in Michelle Obama's out-of-control spending
