RONDA, Spain — U.S. first lady Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha on Saturday visited the picturesque southern city of Ronda, once a favorite haunt of actor-director Orson Welles and author Ernest Hemingway.

Security was tight as Mrs. Obama and 9-year-old Sasha toured Santa Maria, a classic Andalusian-style church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

The group — which included an unknown number of the first lady's friends — had driven into the hilltop city in a motorcade and later stopped for lunch at Del Escudero restaurant, set in a baronial style 19th century villa with typical whitewashed walls and red roof tiles located next to the bullring.

The Obama party is due to attend a charity event hosted by actors Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria on Saturday night, Marbella newspaper La Tribuna said.

So many they couldn't count them all. Do you think we'll at least get a thank you card for providing them the vacation of a lifetime?

Are all these leeches traveling courtesy of the US taxpayer? I find that hard to believe. If Robert Gibbs had any brains he would clarify the situation and tell us these hangers on paid their own way

Until then I believe the worst and let the Obamas take the heat. Damn parasites

LOL. I would guess she had the fashion plate special.

odd, look at her shoes. In one pic she is in flats and in another tennis shoes. Does someone carry around an extra pair for her.

And does she have any white friends?

Kmart should be so proud of their clothing line.

The tour guide (?) is the nicest dressed in the herd.

Hard to tell but those look like plain old Converse low cut sneakers. Didn’t she buy a $500 pair of sneakers last year...was commented about

Supposedly they pay their own hotel bills etc. However, flight over on a USA government Jet was paid for by us. I bet much more is paid for by the taxpayer also but they are cooking the books to make it seem otherwise. We are also paying for all the security personnel and for the first wookie's personal staff, AND we are paying for the part of the visit when she visits the Queen and King.

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.

Hey Michelle do you still hate your country now that your $375,000 vacation was paid for by the tax payers? The only frigging family in the country that goes on vacation every other month.

the security detail is numbered at over 60 — they have to be housed, fed, etc. at our expense
