As the U.S. economy endures high unemployment and a jittery stock market,President Obama has preached sacrifice and fiscal discipline. But the pictures coming out of a sunsplashed Spanish resort this week may be sending a different message.
First lady Michelle Obama is on a five-day trip to a luxury resort along with a handful of friends,her younger daughter,Sasha,aides and Secret Service personnel. Her office said the first family will pay for personal expenses,but declined to reveal the taxpayer cost for the government employees. The president stayed home in the United States,as did daughter Malia,12,who is at camp.
The trip provided plenty of fodder for television news shows,talk-show hosts and bloggers.
Critics portrayed the foreign getaway as tone deaf to the economic anxiety back home. Earlier in the week,the first lady was photographed walking through the streets of the Costa del Sol region wearing a one-shouldered Jean Paul Gaultier top.
This just shows the Obama's disregard for our country and our people!
First lady dresses bad;should be more modest,she has two daughters,$$$$$ spenting,putting us in deep debt;FOREVER;shame on her,obama/Barry S.,they are laughing at how dumb Americans,were,are,along with Ayers,czars,etc.
The only way we can get America back on it's feet again and back to normal,is to IMPEACH Obama in 2010.
