It may cost a little ... but they are worth it ... it is money well spent ... and if you taxpayers don't like it, you can shove it!

Michelle Obama is taking her daughters on a Spring Break trip to Japan and Cambodia this month, the latest global vacation to share the world's culture with Sasha and Malia while giving the first lady a stage to promote education for girls.

Costs of the first family's trip have been controversial and this one is likely to be very expensive. The first lady's group, for example, spent $222,000 for just two days of hotel expenses during part of their China trip last year.
Judicial Watch, the taxpayer watchdog group, estimated that the Obama vacation tab as of mid-2014 was over $44 million. And that estimate doesn't include the millions of dollars in costs for security and communications hidden from the public.

Cambodia? Taking notes on how to set up killing fields are we?
Doesn’t Congress control the purse strings? They ought to tell Michelle to vacation in the US - in Chicago.
BOHICA
What really scares me about the Obamas and 2016 is, they really really like the perks of this office.
Why don’t they vacation in Africa or muslim countries? Kind of would make sense, given BO’s obsessions.
How wonderful. I hope they enjoy their “vacation” on my dime. They’ve turned that joint at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. into “The Price Is Right”.
Are we there yet? (at the end of Lord Jug-Ears’ term)
Livin’ Large Offa Da Man!
I gots my phone, he gots his pen and all our kids gonna go to Asia with Mitch-ell. Don't doubt!
It’s good to be the King.
I also think that at least one, if not both, of his kids will go into politics. There certainly are enough fools who'd support them. We've not heard the last of these grifters.
Mooch? Her personality is far too unpleasant to go into politics. I'd imagine that she'll be a lobbyist, somewhere, and a really unpleasant one to work with.
Why doesn’t she just send them to the “black spring break” in Florida or where ever it is?
I’m sure they will be safe because after all Black Lives Matter!
Is that island going to be able to hold up Moosechelle?
Gee!Its not like people here at FreeRepublic can’t afford to go on vacation.Just a little Sarcasm there.
With the way Obama is wrecking the economy,boosting the cost of everything we’ll soon find out it’s going to take all of our pay too just survive.
A vacation.I haven’t had one of those since this clown got into office.
Congress?
Certainly you jest.
Congress.
That would be uproarious were it not true.
The uber-moocher, mooch-elle (aka The Worst Lady) once again displays her contempt of taxpaying US citizens by taking her spawn and assorted hangers-ons on vacay. What a typical LIB/DIM loser.
I remember when Bill Clinton took his family on world vacations every chance he got, on the taxpayer’s dime.
So shellie obama’s vacations for 6 years is going to total around a half a BILLION dollars. These are the people that “care about the poor.”
I wonder how children who are raised like this ever adapt to the “real” world after they leave the WH or do they continue to expect to be treated like royalty their whole lives?
