Washington/Madrid - US First Lady Mic e Obama and one of her two daughters will take a summer break in Spain, a White House source said Monday.
Mother and daughter would come to the southern holiday resort of Marbella on a "private visit in the company of old friends," the source told the German Press Agency dpa.
US President Barack Obama will not accompany his wife, the source said.
Spanish media reports said Mic e Obama and her younger daughter Sasha, 9, would be on Spain's Costa del Sol between August 4 and 8.
There had been speculation that Barack Obama might also come to Spain to celebrate his 49th birthday on August 4.
Mic e Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis near Marbella, hotel sources said.
The US first lady did not make any special requests, hotel owner Ricardo Arranz said, explaining that the hotel would function normally during her stay.
Earlier on Monday, sources at the Zarzuela royal palace declined to say whether King Juan Carlos would meet Mic e Obama, stressing that there was no official confirmation of the first lady's visit to Spain.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government had been disappointed in its hopes of hosting Barack Obama when the US president cancelled his participation in a European Union-US summit that had been scheduled during the Spanish EU presidency in the first half of 2010. The summit was subsequently called off.

so what

[boutons_deux]

do you right wing assholes really think the President's logistics and security are at the discretion of Magic Negro?

[panic giraffe]

yes cause spain has never had a domestic terror problem, so of course that kind of security detail isn't needed, right?

[spursncowboys]

You are all assuming she has a security detail who is staying in 29 rooms in a 5 star hotel.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm assuming they probably reserved an entire floor for security reasons. I wouldn't hold that against any First Lady.

Would you, SnC?

[spursncowboys]

Now it wasn't for the sec serv, and was for her crew and barry's teleprompters- would you find this angering? Especially when Barry tells us to tighten our belts, etc.

[DarrinS]

Remember how much outrage their was about how much was spent on Palin's clothes?


This is similarly petty.

Why would Obama's teleprompters go if he didn't go?

Did you read the article you posted?

[ploto]

Do you even read what you post? They are traveling with friends, who obviously need hotel rooms, as well.

Also, she is making an official visit to the King and Queen of Spain.

Elitist shoulda stayed at a Motel Seis like normal people.

[ChumpDumper]

Once again, with feeling.

She should fly coach!

[George Gervin's Afro]

Couldn't they squeeze 6 to a room? That way only 5 would be needed.

can you translate this into english?

[ChumpDumper]

OMG! The banner and teleprompter went on a totally separate aircraft!

[jack sommerset]

The Obongos are some fat cats.

I think they are going a bit overboard. Still, as long as she pays what the vacation would cost her as a citizen, I'm not going to complain. We cannot expect them to stay home. In fact, we're probably better off when they go elsewhere.

I believe the outrage was that Palin was spending money that was donated to her to run her campaign. I'm guessing that Mic e spent her own money on these rooms, not the taxpayers. If I'm wrong, by all means, blast her.

[Spursmania]

Hopefully she will stay in Spain and Obama will join her. The longer they are gone the better the country will be. It's only a matter of time. Tick tock...
