Air Force Sued for Michelle Obama’s 2010 'Whirlwind' Vacation to Spain Records
Breitbart ^ | 3-13-12 | TomFitton

Posted on 03/13/2012 6:50:37 PM PDT by STARWISE

*snip*

Through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) we obtained the mission expense records and passenger manifests for the Africa trip, which yielded a cost of $424,142 for the flight and crew alone. Other expenses, such as off-flight food, transportation, security, etc. were not included.

*snip*

Not so with the First Lady’s jaunt to Spain the previous year. Judicial Watch has been investigating this vacation as well, but we’ve been stonewalled in our efforts to get the records. We asked for the documents last year (in August) but the Obama administration hasn’t bothered to produce one document. As a result, we were forced to file a lawsuit on March 5, 2012, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the United States Air Force.

Specifically, we’re after the following records pursuant to our August 25, 2011, FOIA request:

I. All records concerning mission taskings of First Lady Michelle Obama’s August 2010 trip to Spain;

II. All records concerning transportation costs for Mrs. Obama’s August 2010 trip to Spain; and

III. All passenger manifests (DD-2131) for Mrs. Obama’s August 2010 trip to Spain.

Per usual, we’re getting the runaround.

Don't be surprised if there is not
a Muslim connection to this trip.

Can someone please tell her how to dress like a First Lady?

Way too much skin showing, no bra, skintight pants, not to mention the ever-present slouch....

Just a few words.

Obama and his pal Holder are hiding Justice Department records that have been subpoenaed by the friggin Congress.
The CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA

If they withold subpoenaed records from Congress do you really believe they are going to produce records for Breitbart?

Why don’t you wish for immortality? Yu would have a better chance of getting it.

The pursuit of truth and justice is ALWAYS noble
and necessary in the face of rabid tyranny. Demons,
deceivers, parasites and despots do what they will;
so do the righteous, patriotic and honorable.

PS .. If you read the article, you’ll see
that Judicial Watch is suing, not Breitbart.

Newt's wife is a class act and would be a wonderful First Lady in comparison to the wookie we have now.
