Michelle Obama insisted on a pricey holiday to Hawaii when her husband would have rather gone to a presidential retreat, according to reports.
She allegedly wanted the taxpayer-funded $4million trip when Barack Obama sought instead to make the short trip to Camp David in Maryland.
Political sources told the National Enquirer that the 47-year-old’s spending is rocketing and she even went on a shopping spree before the Hawaii trip.
‘The President’s advisers have told him that Michelle’s spending has spiralled “completely out of control”,’ one source told the National Enquirer.
‘Barack read his wife the riot act, but his words fell on deaf ears. Michelle said there was “no way” she was going to disappoint her daughters.’
The First Family has already attracted criticism as their annual vacation in Hawaii this year is likely to be their most expensive ever.
The President will travel separately from his family this time because he wanted resolve the payroll tax cut issue before leaving Washington D.C.
He will fly Friday afternoon on his own Air Force One flight with Bo, after he was seen buying Christmas presents on Wednesday at PetSmart and Best Buy in Alexandria, Virginia.
Well don’t you know mean ol’ America owes it to them? Besides, it’s not their money so why should they care?
She’s not spending anymore than any other first lady. Get a life.
She probably picked up some good deals at Target.
The only thing that comes to mind is, I’ll bet she isn’t “ashamed to be an American” [her own words] when she is spending that Taxpayer Money….
Merry Christmas Everyone!! God Bless America!!
@liberalmann:
If you go back and check you’ll find that a lot of presidents stayed in the white house over the Christmas season, so the security service could have time off. They need less staff at home then on the road.
