IN a major behind-the-scenes blowout, President BARACK OBAMA and first lady MICHELLE waged their worst White House fight ever over her lavish vacation trip to China!
Sources tell The ENQUIRER that Obama exploded when Michelle refused to cancel her pricey getaway – even after White House advisers warned him that the first couple’s six-year string of extravagant vacations had already drained the U.S. Treasury of a whopping $150 million in taxpayers’ money.
Michelle arrived in Beijing with her mother, Marian Robinson, and the Obamas’ daughters, 15-year-old Malia and Sasha, 12, on March 20 for a planned seven-day, three-city trip.
They checked into the lavish presidential suite at the Beijing Westin hotel, costing a whopping $8,350 per night.
One published report quoted hotel employees grumbling about Michelle’s mom “barking at the staff ” and added that the first lady’s party was “inconveniencing pretty much everyone.”
Besides the family’s annual August vacation on ritzy Martha’s Vineyard and Christmas holiday in Hawaii, Michelle jetted off to Mexico and Spain in 2010, and kicked up her heels at a posh ski resort in Vail, Colo., in 2011.
In March 2011, she spent five days in Latin America with her mother and daughters. Three months later, they were joined by Michelle’s niece and nephew for a safari in South Africa.
In June 2013, the first lady spent two days in Ireland. That trip required booking 30 rooms at an exclusive hotel for her staff and security detail, costing taxpayers a reported $5 million.
“Michelle does whatever she wants and goes wherever she wants. It’s as if she’s tacked up a map of the world and put pins on all the places she wants to visit. The sad part is that taxpayers are paying for her bucket list.”

If the MSM were willing to investigate, you might be correct. Unfortunately, they are not, and the National Enquirer keeps even the low information voter somewhat informed, so its not totally useless.
Hah! Everyone knows cows don't live to be 90
Wasn’t it the Enquirer that broke the John Edwards love child story?
Well, I have a deeper respect for Bill now.
Pretty much every political scandal since Lewinsky has been broken by the Enquirer.
They also said that George and Laura Bush were getting divorced, they missed on that one.
Michelle, like Hillary, has higher ambitions once she’s out of the White House, they’ll never divorce.
I doubt this.
Obama may have exploded at Michelle, but it wasn’t because she was spending too much money on vacations.
(No offense to you. I'm just pretty sure that Obama's are pretty sick of everybody, outside of their little sphere.)
“Before the fact” — I would trust their flying saucer stories more ... :-) ...
“Divorce? No.”
I hear ya but don’t you think that bill and hill are a
little more stable and rational than the obamas? I know
that doesn’t say much.
I think If the ships was about to sink, the mooch would be
the first to bail on berry. And the thing to do would be
to live it up while she can.
I think you can add Gary Hart and the blond bimbo that was also broken first by the National Enquirer and they had pictures too.
Whoa! When the Nat Enquirer turns on you, how long be for the low infos catch on to the queen act?
I’ve read the Enquirer for years, because I work at a convenience store, and I don’t recall them ever publishing a UFO story. Wrong magazine.
For a gossip rag, it’s been fairly accurate politically speaking.
Speaking of Silky Pony, he crawled out of the mud and left a trail of slime across Virginia this weekend.
Last week Bunny Mellon, the wife of Paul Mellon, passed away at 103. She was buried at the family farm in Upperville, Virginia, after a funeral held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville. Mrs Mellon had unwisely allowed herself to be conned by John Edwards and gave him a large amount of money for his campaign. Most of the money went to support his whore. Naturally poor Mrs Mellon was mortified, as anyone would be.
So of course this slug came to her funeral, showing up late so as to draw attention to himself. Afterward he began to ostentatiously work the crowd. It was beyond disgusting. People out there were too stunned and too well-bred to raise their voices and throw him out of the churchyard, so he got away with it, shaking the hands of a lot of very confused Virginians.
He didn't try it with me, unfortunately.
They have been since the OJ trial.
Way back when, some freeper made a comment that once barry has expended his usefulness that the wookie would drop him like a hot potato. I believe that prediction will prove to be correct. Valjar transferred money to an account for beard services rendered. Take it to the bank.
Yep.
I think the National Enquirer has done a pretty good job at filtering out some of the worst Democrats.
My thoughts exactly.
You are actually correct about the National Enquirer. When it comes to blockbuster stories that shake things up, they have a remarkably good track record.
They got to the bottom of the John Edwards scandal when no one else would touch it. Remember?
