A seaside villa resort.
I am assuming she took over the whole resort?

p.s.
5000 euros =$7,139.502 (in american dollars)
Americans are scared crapless about paying their bills
and WE are paying for her and HER FRIENDS...
$7,139.50 A NIGHT?
That is insane!
To be fair to the White House Wookie
Secret Service has to make sure she isn’t offed by terrorists and the Ritz Hotel might have been a good choice for security reasons. Expensive but secure
Yeah but why did I read an article months ago that compared The Obama’s visit to Russia and other overseas places with past Presidents and where they stayed. The Obama’s out did even the Clinton’s and upgraded to the Ritz.
So this theory is off base... somewhat.
This article is a must read ping!
(Snip)
“They had a reservation for 14 people at the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant, reportedly eating lobster with rice and oysters followed by a Spanish bread pudding called torrijas.”
There’s Michelle yet again..piggin out on lobsters on our dime! These people need to be forced to resign. I’ve had enough. This is all outrageous.
It looks like a castle!!!
Now tell me from a PR standpoint....really...
What happened to Marie?
Naw...I’ve had enough. I am really struggling and have been for quite some time. I sit here tonight at 48 years old eating Ramen noodles for dinner. I am old school and too proud to go for a government handout. These days...no way in HE-double toothpicks.
And they want to raise my utility bills, my property taxes, my income taxes, and afford health care? Forget about it ...the only health care insurance I carry is now illegal!!! Yes, I said it. MY health insurance is now illegal.
I am working 40hours a week at a job that doesn’t pay but a $1 over minimum wage, no benefits, no paid vacation, no paid sick time. I move close to 1000 lbs or more of freakin’ birdseed a day. It is all manual labor. I am talkin’ no forklifts, no dollies. It is physical pick and lift. Plus take care of customers, shipping, and receiving. I am busting my butt.
In the meantime I am trying to get my small micro-enterprise off the ground. I am busting my butt.
And I ain’t making anything. Used to be to work hard and do a good job...my God those days are gone.
I feel for you am the same age.When I was in your situation I was eating off of credit cards. So I know this 7K a night luxuary room makes you spit nails!
"almost criminal political back dealings"
What could be ALMOST politically criminal?
It’s not private on the tax payers dime.
Sorry I meant to post my last post in the wiki releasing political crap on Hillary thread.
LOL
It does make me spit nails.
And no it is not jealousy. It is anger that they cannot seem to understand their own policies and desired lifestyle destroys the country. They are making it impossible to do business, start a business, or even risk it.
Logging on to FR this morning and reading some of the articles about this vacation she is enjoying...
I am sitting here crying. That is your money, my money, the peoples money being spent in frivolous ways at a time when some of us are looking for soup kitchens.
I get paid squat by a small business owner who is trying to stay afloat. I told you how hard I work and how much I get paid. This little job is going to roll up its sidewalk here in a few months.
I see it coming. So, now what should I do. I’ve got to find some way to be productive. I’ve got too. Time and cash are running out. I’ve cut back all I can. Come to my home, you will find one TV without cable, dish, etc. There is not DVR...just an old VHS movie player playing old VHS tapes. The computer is from 2002, no high tech, just an old clunker. The new business needs me to stay connected to the net...so for now I am bundled on the landline. There is no cellphone and it drives my friends crazy and recently a client. The situation had me breakdown and buy a tracfone yesterday. Nothing fancy...just a $9.99 tracfone.
I, we are paying the 0bama’s to do a job. And they are failing at that job and basically stealing our money from the bottom line.
Maybe I need to stay away from FR for awhile? I know a lot of people are hurting just like me. Our hearts hurt, our physical body hurts and our wallets too.
I won’t give in. I can’t give in. I’ve got to find a way to make it. I’ve got to find a way to stop the bleeding.
A way to make it in-spite of them.
Can’t ‘We The People’ send them both on a permanent vacation?
You all realize that we’re going to be paying for the both of them to suckle off of the government teat for the rest of their/our natural lives, don’t you?
*SHUDDER*
I think you need to continue reading here. It is a surreal nightmare but you have to be informed.
I don’t have the money to pay a deductible for surgery I must have.I am, I will. Congresscritters were all summoned by the demon witch Pelosi from their bahamian homes and luxury cars to lie some more and vote on further destroying us.
I too join you in the beyond word disgust.They are the Kings we are peasants yes they can. I am sick of the right vs left. I am sick of the class/racial right vs left, wars Obama has created. I want America back.
Do something you enjoy! Call a friend go fishing.Do not give up keep on keep on pushing through you will be fine.
I KNOW easy for me to say but just do it!
The LATimes AKA the WH argues back defending this trip.
