Is the first lady Marie Antoinette ??
The talk on many right wing blogs about a lavish trip with 40 friends on Air Force One was a big enough scandal, but they stayed at a lavish resort too.
A few problems with the scandal, it was two friends and their 3 daughters, not 40, and they got to Spain on there own and neither they or the first lady used tax payer money for expenses . The lavish resort was chosen by the Secret Service for security reasons, not the first lady.
Yes, AF 1 was used to fly Michelle, her staff and security, just as anyone in the first family would while on vacation. I sort of agree with the Salon comments about the right getting even for the flack about Bush’s 77 trips to the ranch at a quarter million a pop.
