Question : Michelle Obama has 26 assistants, and takes a massive # of vacations at OUR expense. Is she “Marie Antoinette”?
Since becoming First Lady nineteen months ago, Michelle Obama has vacationed overseas in Paris, London, Copenhagen and Marbella. She still has a family vacation booked to Indonesia and Australia that has been twice postponed this year because of her husband’s incompetence and rudeness. She also vacationed in Los Angeles this year, sans her husband, sitting in a luxury box for an NBA championship game and visiting a private beach owned by a billionaire.
Barack and Michelle Obama have also vacationed across America from Hawaii to Maine, with stays at a $ 4,000 rental home in Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard (with a second trip there later this month) taken over 300 rooms at a Montana resort, traveled through Western National Parks, two Chicago vacation weekends, one weekend vacation each in North Carolina and Maine (with a Florida weekend planned next week) and the infamous date night in New York City.
When the Obamas don’t feel like traveling the world, they bring the world to them at taxpayer expense, including a pizza chef from St. Louis and all kinds of performers for their White House parties.

Yeah! Yeah! An the Obamas are the first people in the white house who ever took a vacation!
Michelle Obama works harder than any First Lady in recent memory, and if she can afford to take herself and her family on vacations, I see nothing wrong with that. Remember the Reagans and the china kerfuffle, and all the Bush perks? If anything, Michelle Obama is more restrained in her use of public funds than any First Lady since Rosalyn Carter, and 26 assistants to promote childhood health, personal growth and well-being is hardly a problem in my book. Her husband is neither incompetent nor rude; these are good, principled people doing their level best to make a valuable contribution as best they can, and I applaud their efforts in the face of what seems like dauntingly difficult situations they inherited from Dubya. Quit carping and lend a hand – it’s easy to be a critic – not quite so easy to get off our duffs and actually DO something.
