Michelle Obama off to Spain.

She needs a vacation from her vacations.

Poor Secret Service slobs don't get much time at home with the " Traveling Obama's".

First lady, daughter to travel to Spain - Yahoo! News

She is going over to have her butt kissed by Juan Carlos. I bet you didnt know that First lady's had "Official" visits.

Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, hotel sources said.

But you forgot this part...different news story with ABC news and Obama says the first couple is “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.”

What a clown.

Guess she figures she'd better travel now because after her husband is done with our economy, no one will be able to afford travel.

And nary a peep out of anyone concerning this (from the same website):
"The White House says Mrs. Obama pay an official visit to Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia. That meeting, as well as Mrs. Obama's other activities, will be closed to the press."

Official visit...closed to the press!? WTF, over!?

I always thought the Secretary of State was responsible for "Official" visits, to heads of State, but maybe the Obama's do it differently.

I wonder if she has practiced her bow.

If only. Wonder if Tomas left any stuff lying around to accommodate her while there.

I honestly dont know why you all are so upset about the obamas constant flights to various resort destinations.
All stars do it, they fly.
To name a few
Ritchie Valens
Buddy Holly
Ricky Nelson
Glenn Miller
Otis Redding
Jim Croce
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Aaliyah
Patsy Cline
John Denver
JFK Jr.
Thurman Munson
Cory Lidle
Roberto Clemente
Payne Stewart
Rocky Marciano
Paul Wellstone
Will Rogers

Just let up and let them fly, it is their right as King and Queen. It is, and always has been their destiny.
