My problem is not that the trip was taken, but the rank hypocrisy, of the Obamas’ when telling us that austerity is the name of the game.

She is, after all the wife of our Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler. Doesn’t she deserve a trip like this? They make me sick.

She sups on caviar and champagne with royalty as a vacation from the strenuous job of making the children of America eat spinach.

Besides her speeches telling young girls that they need to get a good education (like she did) so that they can marry a president (like she did) to being tacky in public on just about every occasion when she leaves the White House, what else is new?

At least we can thank Yomama for putting on the ostentatious spectacle.

I’ve never been able to shake the metaphor formed during the inauguration: the ‘Movin on up’ theme from that insipid TV show The Jeffersons.

Who cares? We know what we have in Michelle Obama. Why do feign horror when she shows herself true to her real character? The Obamas are going to big dog it and live the high life. They just can’t help it. So, get over it. There are plenty of outrageous things about this bunch without getting our knickers in a twist over an opulent vacation.

I am quite amazed by the number of secret service agents that went along. I often looked at Michelle Obama, big and mean-looking, and thought she could take on any likely number of opponents.

Granted, I’m being quite disrespectful here, but how little the Obamas respect the decorum and gravitas their station in life requires.

Exactly which hotel Mama Michelle and child patronize on their trip to Spain does not matter. Ms. Tantaros has it all wrong. What are they expected to do in Spain, stay at the local youth hostel? There is no way to “tone it down” outside of staying stateside.

When I see Michelle and child with packs on their backs or tents in their RV, putting their $5 bill for an overnight stay into a campground’s pay box in the California Redwoods, I’ll conclude that she is working hard to appear “like me.” Until then, she is just another of the Washington elite and she shouldn’t bother trying to look like “one of us.” It doesn’t work.
