First lady Michelle Obama and her daughters Malia and Sasha are skiing Vail Mountain today, according to several sources and local reports. President Barack Obama reportedly did not accompany his family to Vail for the Presidents Day Weekend.
Michelle Obama took her daughters to Ski Liberty in Pennsylvania last season. That was Malia and Sasha’s first ski trip. President Obama reportedly is not a skier.
Some read “personal expenses” and claim the queen paid her entire trip - instead it probably means anything that isn’t given to them for free along the way. Transportation and of course security is being paid by us -
Not far from Camp David. Also not a very big place. More like a hill than a mountain. I bet the Secret Service had to close some slopes for the First Family.
She (Michelle) will return to London in late May when she joins her husband on an official state visit to Britain, a trip the White House announced Thursday.
“Personal expenses are being paid for by the Obamas.”
And PIGS fly!
Honestly, how DUMB do they think we are?
Oh boy, where are the pics? Michelle Obama on skis should be every bit as funny as Jon Carry windsurfing.
Recall his “birthday”. Instead of having it at the WH, NO! He went back to his little sewer to scheme with his buddies he doesn't want you to see or others at the WH to see. Besides, could you really LOVE Michelle, 24/7 forever? Can you imagine how obnoxious she must be NOW? They deserve each other.
They are true ntrash. They bring the ugly stereotype ALIVE. Everything about them wreaks of it. How they SPEND THEIR money, how they spend YOUR money and the cavalier attitude that motivates them dripping with HATRED for ALL that is decent and right.
Normally, they would be transported on Government aircraft for security reasons. They would reimburse the government for price of First Class tickets for the same destination.
LET THEM HAVE CARROT CAKE

The White House says Biden and his wife traveled to Key Largo on Thursday night. The couple will remain in the Upper Keys through Monday.
Oh boy, where are the pics? Michelle Obama on skis should be every bit as funny as Jon Carry windsurfing.
