First Lady Takes "Private" Trip to Spain

Michelle Obama arrived in Marbella, Spain earlier this week for a private trip with 9-year-old daughter Sacha and longtime family friends.The trip has put  the first lady under scrutiny by many who feel that it is unfair for Mrs. Obama to vacation while the rest of the country struggles financially.


Even though this was a short article it has a lot of meaning to it. I think it is totally wrong for the Presidents wife to go to spain on our tax money. How much did it cost to fly them, how much to have the guards there, how much for the hotel, how much for food, how much for their friends to come along. They should have to pay for this themselves. I dont see them giving me money to go take a trip to go hunting in Alaska. Our country is so far in debt and this is not helping any. There is an over 10% unemployment rate. Give the homeless a night in a hotel. Stop thinking about yourself and think about your country.
