Thanks from Michelle Obama

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars plus additional expenses for my vacation in Spain .
My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. We only booked 70 rooms for our friends, staff and family. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. It costs only $11,500 per hour to operate Air Force 2 and each additional plane for the other members of our party group.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days. Will write more from Martha's Vineyard where we will spend our sixth vacation this year with more of our family and friends.

Cordially,
M. Obama

Barbara Bush used to ride burros everywhere. Laura was simply married to an ass.

Most people didn't care when Bush was Prez. Then again, the Dems hadn't fucked up the economy at that time either.

NEW SIG QUOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least Bush's wife gets to cum..................

Well Ruggie at least for me i just remember Bush vacationing at his own ranch and npt some 5 star overseas junket

[callmeslick]

don't forget the family compound in Maine, Fatman. Of course, Obama owns neither a ranch nor a beachfront estate. He, like most Americans, has to simply stay someplace else on vacation.

[fatman]

Yup Italy what he should be doing is leading by example holiday at home and stimulate his own economy
