If an R first lady did this, the MSM would go beserk. But, since the POTUS is a socialist, all is okay. Sick....very sick....

Libs, can you tell me if this was EVER reported by your news sources?

Expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels: First Lady accused of spending $10m in public money on her vacations
By TAMARA ABRAHAM
Last updated at 8:28 PM on 24th August 2011

The Obamas' summer break on 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.
FIRST LADY OF LUXURY TRAVEL: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OBAMAS' LAVISH GETAWAYS OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS
GIRLS' TRIP TO SPAIN: AUGUST 2010

The exact cost is unclear as Mrs Obama and her 40 friends footed many personal expenses, such as hotels and meals themselves.
But the U.S. taxpayer would have paid for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, personal staff, and use of presidential jet Air Force Two.
Per diems for the secret service team runs at around $281 each - nearly $98,000 for the length of the summer break.
Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at $149,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground.
Mrs Obama's personal staff, of which there are an unknown amount and might cost considerably more per day, should also be taken into account.
CHRISTMAS BREAK IN HAWAII: DECEMBER 2010
According to the Hawaii Reporter, the bill for the $1.5m trip included:
$63,000 on an early flight bringing Mrs Obama and the children to Hawaii ahead of the President.
$1,000,000 on Mr Obama’s return trip from Washington on Air Force One.
$38,000 for the ‘Winter White House’ beach property rental.
$16,000 to rent nearby homes for Secret Service and Navy Seals.
$134,000 for 24 White House staff to stay at the Moana Hotel.
$251,000 in police overtime.
$10,000 for an ambulance to be on hand at all times
SKI TRIP TO VAIL: FEBRUARY 2011
Mrs Obama and her daughters stayed at the Sebastian hotel on Vail Mountain, where rooms cost more than $2,400 for multi-bedroom suites.
The family appear to have flown there on Air Force Two.
They were escorted to the resort by a motorcade of about a dozen vehicles, including 15 state and local law enforcement officers
SUMMER HOLIDAY ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD: AUGUST 2011
The Blue Heron Farm estate, where the Obama family are currently staying, rents for about $50,000 a week.
According to U.S. News and World Report, the Coast Guard is required to keep ships floating near the property, the presidential helicopter and jet remain at the ready and security agents will be on 24-hour duty.

There's a term for the way she is spending..... I think we all know it. That woman is so ugly even I will give her a pass for the remainder of her reign, which is short.

You are so funny! You are for ever defending the wealty's conspicuous spending, and their right to keep and spend their money as they wish, but you resent YOUR PRESIDENT having vacations with his family and staying safe!

Most of those expenses are REQUIRED to keep them safe.

Get a life!

According to White House historian Mark Knoller, at equivalent points in their presidencies,
Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days
George W. Bush had spent 180 vacation days
Barak Obama has taken 61 vacation days

Only 61 days? For shame. C'mon Obama you are seriously behind. Try to keep up with trends. You are losing the vacation war.
 
I know and did you hear how much they spent to go to India?

"there is a report" yes but there is nothing that says its true...outside your desire to make it true.

"five star hotel" yea he is the damn president..you think he stays at motel 6?


Yep! The Obama haters are getting down to the gutters now!

Well, did you watch August 23rd Letterman's interview of Rachel Maddow?

That is well worth watching. I think it's so clear, logical, and factual, that it was embarrassing to the Obama haters, so it has beent taken off U-Tube, apparently, but here is a link that worked for me just a few minutes ago:

I never watch Letterman either. But I watch Rachel two to three times a week and I really admire her.

If you have a minute, go watch that interview at the above link. It's well worth it!

You might want to re-read the OP and this time try to comprehend it.

Your post is meaningless. Plus you did not include any credible source to back it up, which likely means it is untrue.

REMEMBER your motto: The ends justify the means.

I went to the link. I loved her admiral defense of why we might have been better off with McCain.

Again. Meaningless.

The old media (aka Liberal Media) would never accept 'most of those expenses are REQUIRED to keep them safe'...if an R was in the WH. And, you would not either. HYPOCRISY!!!

It is amazing the lengths libs will go to ignore the costs and extravagances the Obama's have imposed on Americans. Just amazing!

Hell libs complained about Bush's vacations and all he did was go to that dust bin of a cottage in Texas.

you could have tried paying attention when Bush was president...you know so you would have recalled his record vacation time?

487 Days At Camp David For Bush
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-4728085-503544.html
7 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.

I have a novel idea, why don't you prove he was wrong...you can just ask how many sources you want, since there about 10000 of them have the info that says what he says.

OK, it probably didn't make the liberal press because it is nothing unusual in presidential spending for vacations. The cost of transporting the president and the security has always been steep and is also not newsworthy. If Obama spent 200 days vacation at this point, then it would be newsworthy.
Your post is meaningless. Plus you did not include any credible source to back it up, which likely means it is untrue.
You don't think White House historian Mark Knoller is credible? He has no reason to lie. If you want to challenge it with more accurate numbers, I will listen.
