“Todd and I have since cut our vacation short because the incognito attempts didn’t work and fellow vacationers were bothered for the two days we spent in the sun. So much for trying to go incognito,” she said.
She was even more pointed in a message to her Twitter followers Thursday night upon returning home to Alaska, where a fresh 18 inches of snow had fallen: “So cut sunny vacation short (thanks, desperate paparazzi).”
Aye,..Capi-tahn.
White House Won’t Reveal How Much Michelle Obama’s European Vacation Cost Taxpayers
cnsnews.com ^ | July 06, 2009 | Fred Lucas
America may be in the midst of a deep recession, and the nation may be facing unprecedented deficit spending and debt, but the White House will not reveal the cost to taxpayers of the European vacation that first lady Michelle Obama and the president’s two daughters, Malia and Sasha, took last month.
Travel by an American first lady typically includes the military passenger jet that carries her and the children, Secret Service personnel to provide security, and a separate cargo plane to haul official vehicles.
First Lady Michelle Obama’s tour of Paris with her children included a convoy of 20 vehicles, according to news reports. She also moved by “motorcade” through London.
The full cost of such a trip would also include the expense of meals and lodging for Secret Service agents and possibly other staff.
In response to inquiries from CNSNews.com last week about the cost to taxpayers of the first lady’s European vacation, the White House did not provide a figure.
“Like previous administrations, the first lady will follow all the rules and regulations that are related to reimbursement for personal travel,” Michelle Obama’s press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld told CNSNews.com in a written response.
CNSNews.com inquiries to the White House on the cost of the trip were made by both phone and e-mail on June 30, July 1, July 2 and July 3.
Though White House rules for vacations, or unofficial travel, requires reimbursing the government the equivalent to the cost of what a commercial flight would have been, such a reimbursement would amount to only a fraction of the total cost of the first lady’s European trip.
Remember the name the more affluent black residents refer to michelle as? Ghetto Girl. From the looks of so many of her pictures, it is impossible for her to hide that she really is just that.
“I will not rest until.....”
not even dogs have hope and change just chains and no hope! Obozo treats Americans the same way as bo~~~no surprise
Come January 20th some enterprising soul should do a full analysis of the “carbon footprint” for the various unnecessary 0bama family junkets. I’m sure it’ll make algore look like a piker, and will highlight yet another area of stunning hypocrisy.
0 is a true embarrassment for America.
GOP ‘10! Palin ‘12!!! Sarah is the anti-0!
That’s right...every thing this guy does and says prove what we’ve known for so long.
