Michelle Obama seems to be\u00a0a bit of a vacation junkie<\/a>, and we – according to this story from the London Daily Mail, sourced from the Enquirer – are paying for it:<\/p>\n

White House sources today claimed that the First Lady has spent $10million of U.S. taxpayers’ money on vacations alone in the past year.<\/p>\n

Branding her ‘disgusting’ and ‘a vacation junkie’, they say the 47-year-old mother-of-two has been indulging in five-star hotels, where she splashes out on expensive massages and alcohol.<\/p>\n

The ‘top source’ told the National Enquirer: ‘It’s disgusting. Michelle is taking advantage of her privileged position while the most hardworking Americans can barely afford a week or two off work.<\/p>\n

‘When it’s all added up, she’s spent more than $10million in taxpayers’ money on her vacations.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, it’s a fact that travelling for the First Family, with all its security, is not going to be cheap under any circumstances. Still – taking separate goverment jets to Martha’s Vineyard? Really?<\/p>\n

Of course, Atomizer will perk up at this reference:<\/p>\n

The source continued: ‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ll paraphrase him; “there’s no such thing as a vodka martini”. There. \u00a0(And I wanna try a “sparking wine”. Just saying). \u00a0Don’t say I never did anything for ya, Atom.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I had to mention this; it’s a photo from Mrs. Obama’s trip earlier this year to Spain:<\/p>\n

Can there be anything in the world more awkward than a Secret Service agent trying to look “casual?” \u00a0And the guy to the immediate left of Mrs.Obama (her right) – when did Peter Garrett join the White House staff?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
