Not since Roger (Coke Head) Clinton and Billy (Beer Guzzling and Public Urination) Carter has American had need to be so disappointed in a president's First Family.
It's not just the street-living outliers, either. M'Chelle Antoinette has spent outrageous amounts of taxpayer monies on her personal junkets; bringing along her friends and sycophants (and the Secret Service).
Is Michelle Obama a vacation junkie?
In a story published late last week in The Daily Mail which followed another by the National Enquirer, First Lady Michelle Obama's vacation habits including expensive massages, top shelf vodka and five-star hotels are under attack. Critics have discovered over $10 million tax dollars has been spent on her personal recreation - in the last year.
Just as 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, The Daily Mail published new reports of extravagances.
White House sources claimed that the First Lady has spent $10 million of U.S. taxpayers' money on vacations in the past year alone.
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.
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. 'When it's all added up, she's spent more than $10 million in taxpayers' money on her vacations.'
The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.
Tell me that, if George Bush's wife, the gracious and unshakeable Laura Bush, had undertaken such inappropriate and expensive 'vacations', there would not have been backlash from the usual suspects?
Oh, speaking of a 'First Family' America could be proud of...
