Yes, one conservative foreign news outlet column's perception of one vacation.

So, let me get this straight, it's the OP's intention that Michelle shouldn't travel internationally, unless for valid work reasons, for the duration of the time that her husband is president?

why are you bothered by it? She paid for her personal expenses... what else do you want her to do?

She should be as poor as he is. It's a class envy issue with him.

That is outright bullshit.

Now I expect her to pay all of her expenses, and her friends if they don't. I don't expect for her to pay for the secret service. There is not way she is paying most of that total.

Maybe.

Who reimburses the vacationers who had the beaches shout off to them, ruining their vacations?

How much of the beach was shut off?

Was the entire Spanish coast off limits?

no. I think the idea is that there is a disconnect between americans and the obama group.

A subject of the British queen is worried about a disconnect in America.

That's pretty funny.

There's a disconnect between all Presidents and regular people. Do you think bush was the "salt of the earth" normal Average Joe type guy? :)

Right. He's saying the perception of obama is worse than normal. Clinton and W could make it seem like they were like the average american. of course they aren't, but it's how they are percieved.

Perhaps. I think it's a pretty dumb thing for America to care about, but most of America is pretty dumb, so who knows.
