It is reported Michelle Obama's entourage has secured 60 rooms for her 4-day vacation in Mirabella, near the Spanish island of Mallorca.
This is a playground for the rich in Europe. Rooms at the Villa Padierna rent for $2,500.00 per day, for a total of $600,000.00 dollars. Besides her daughter, she is accompanied by her "40 closest friends" and 70 Secret Service agents. Michelle and her friends traveled to Spain via Air Force Two. The UK Daily Mail is now calling her "Marie Antoinette".

A few points:
* Wasn't this presidency supposed to rebuild the United States reputation with other countries,
* With the state of the U.S. economy and jobs, this money would have been better spent at a resort within the United States,
* The mainstream media used to bitch about George Bush retreating to his ranch in Texas for a week, which he owned and didn't spend a HALF-MILLION dollars to rent for 4 days
Hope and change?
