From the "Let them eat cake" dept...

After Obama declared in a July 27, 2010 interview with ABC's Elizabeth Leamy, “We’re not that far removed from what most Americans are going through," we find out that Michelle Obama has booked a very expensive vacation to Spain accompanied by "long-time family friends". The liberal media that did decide to cover it calls it a "private" vacation, but since when have the Obama's used their own money?

The hotel in which she is staying is a 5 star $2895 dollar a night establishment. Let's say she spends 5 nights. A week? Sounds reasonable. That would be $14475. Not bad I suppose. She is a first lady after all. Wouldn't want her staying at the Motel 6 Barcelona.

Did I forget to mention she rented 30 rooms per night for the family, friends and entourage?

That bill comes out to $434250.

That's just for the rooms. Doesn't include travel, food, knick-knacks for the kid, she is only taking one of them and the Man-Child is staying home too.

I'm going on vacation in a few weeks too. Mustang Island. I'm driving. Staying in a $300 a night condo. All 5 of us will be in there.

I'd call that even.
