Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in public money on her vacations

The Obamas' summer break in Martha's Vineyard has already been branded a PR disaster after the couple arrived four hours apart on separate government jets.
But according to new reports, this is the least of their extravagances.

White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations alone in the past year.




Branding her 'disgusting' and 'a vacation junkie', they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.

The 'top source' told the National Enquirer: 'It's disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.

'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.'




The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.

And the first family's nine-day stay in Martha's Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.

The source continued: 'Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.

'The vacations are totally Michelle's idea. She's like a junkie. She can't schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next - all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.'






While the President and his wife do pay for some of their personal expenses from their own pocket, the website whitehousedossier.com says that the amount paid by the couple is 'dwarfed by the overall cost to the public'.

The magazine also reported that Mrs Obama, whose fashion choices are widely followed, had been going on 'wild shopping sprees', much to the distress of her husband, who, its sources reveal, is 'absolutely furious' at his wife's 'out-of-control spending'.

The President has already come under fire this week over his decision to take a family vacation while millions of Americans are out of work and countless more are financially strapped.






But the situation sparked further anger after he and his wife elected to fly separately to the Massachusetts retreat - despite travelling on the same day.
Mr Obama left the White House aboard Marine One on his way to Andrews Air Force base to hitch a lift aboard Air Force One - along with First Dog Bo.

After landing at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station, he then took a final helicopter to his holiday destination to complete the remarkable 500-mile journey.

His wife and daughters, who arrived just four hours earlier, were also travelling from Washington, but took a specially designed military aircraft.
They would also have had their own motorcade from the airport to the vacation residence.

You think Carla Bruni or Berlusconi's mistresses do not also indulge themselves with the tax voters' money?

I mean, that's the sort of thing that's been unfortunately happening worldwide, it doesn't surprise me that Michelle is doing it as well...

In a real democracy this would have led to a full-scaled inquiry and the subsequent impeachment of her husband.

She should be in jail with her treasonous Kenyan.

Fraud and abuse of tax payer's money. He can't be a traitor as he isn't an American but fraud will get you put away for a long enough time.

Michele Obama has been on a free ride for a long time. She had no business going to Princeton and Harvard - all on scholarships. If she was white they would have circular filed her application straight away.

Did anyone here read that piece-of-s**t thesis she wrote in her senior year at Princeton? Let's put it this way, she was no honor's student.

Was it something about blacks being discriminated? But come on with all affirmative action programs you can pretty much certain she did not preformed at the level required of White and Asian honor students.

What I think is hilarious is how she tries to tell people what to eat, and is all anti obesity and all of that bullshit when she is fat her self. She needs to lay off of the fucking banana's..

[BeerBaron]

I get the part about politicians and their wives going on field trips with our hard earned tax money. But we can't let this flow into racial hatred, she's no different then everyone else on this forum. She's just enjoying her time with her husband, and he's the one that seems to be planning it all not her, so why point at her for her husband's actions? .

Second, I have to admit she's the best first lady we had so far. Never seen other first ladies do what she has done in the past years in giving awareness to our youngsters about education and the treats of bad health. 3rd Hatred to one person because of their looks and genes is pure ignorance.
