Regarding Michelle Obama's half-million dollar vacations:
The problem with Michelle Obama’s Marabella-to-Martha’s-Vineyard August is not that the first family doesn’t deserve time off but that Michelle, in the past, has gone on the record that the country’s elite (of which she claimed not to be a part) had created one nation for themselves and quite a different for most others — at least that’s how I interpreted “downright mean country,” “raise the bar,” and never having been proud of her country until the rise of hope and change.
Victor Davis Hanson notes that the American media has decided that
Of course, all this puts a terrible burden on a sycophantic media with a long tradition of trashing the slightest hint of aristocratic enjoyment on the part of first ladies (e.g., Nancy Reagan’s china). So, just as golf, around winter 2009, ceased to be an aristocratic distraction from the nation’s pressing problems, so too luxury on the Mediterranean must be a sort of federal employee’s deserved state vacation.
Of course if you call them on it, they will claim that they have not commented one way or another. Which is the MFM's primary way of lying; spiking the news that doesn't fit the narrative.

Let's get off Michelle's case, all she was dong was helping a grieving friend deal with the death of her father. Anyone would do the same for a friend. Right?
Besides they all paid their own way, its not like Nancy Reagan and the china or Sarah Palin and her clothes, come on, lets be understanding and work that double standard for all its worth.
