Maybe Michelle can no longer fit through a traditional airliner door?

President Barack Obama ditched the Beltway grind yesterday to seek the pleasures of summer on the beaches of Martha's Vineyard - by way of two helicopter flights and a trip aboard Air Force One. And a further government jet was used by Michelle Obama as she arrived separately to her husband, with daughters Sasha and Malia, just a few hours before he landed.
The President left the White House aboard Marine One on his way to Andrews Air Force base to hitch a lift aboard Air Force One.
After landing at an unknown air base, he then took a final helicopter to Martha's Vineyard to complete the remarkable 500-mile journey. The President arrived on this wealthy Massachusetts island retreat as the stock market plunged and fears of global recession hung in the air.
Mr Obama joined the First Lady and their daughters who had landed at about 2pm, four hours before his helicopter touched down. The extra transport will have cost taxpayers thousands in additional expenses to get her a few hours of extra vacation time.
The costs related to Mrs Obama’s solo trip mainly include the flight on the specially designed military aircraft she took instead of Air Force One, as well as any extra staff and Secret Service that had to be enlisted to go with her.
She would also have had her own motorcade from the airport to her vacation residence.....

Wouldn't it be a hoot if people called the "fraud, waste and abuse" hotline at 1-800-424-5454 and reported this?
We have to give her a break....or maybe not. She could have just wanted so time away from Obama........or to meet a friend?
Is all well in paradise?
Are there any problems with our first couple? Stay tuned for details I suppose. Things like this get tongues wagging don't they...
She just took a separate vacation a few weeks ago to see her family in Washington.
It seems like she and FUBO never go anywhere together. I’m guessing they also have separate suites in that $50,000 a week resort at Martha’s Vineyard.

I thought we’d never again see a first family as classless as the Clintons. I was wrong.
What does moochelle do that she deserves any vacation time, let alone a few extra hours of it?
It is usually a priority for a woman to want to be with her man, even if it crimps a bit on her vacation time.
Movin’ on up. Enjoy it while you can, Moooochelle.
It would be nice to know that their relationship is failing along with every thing else they do. I can’t help it, but they fueled this feeling I have about both of them.
Whoa, Nellie, the network evening news will be on this like a coat of paint!
Damn! Look at the ass on that woman!
Maybe the natives will vote them off the island.
BO and Mooshell are in Martha’s Vineyard and they’ve got Biden in China.... oh joy!
nothing gets past vacay girl
