Let 'em eat cake!

While the First Lady and her youngest daughter vacation in Spain, along with 40 of her 'closest' friends, economic figures for May and June were revised.
Oops! We are actually 91,000 jobs down from what we previously reported. Sorry!

Everyone in such a high stress job as the First Lady's needs a little girl time.
How can we begrudge a half million dollars (conservative estimate) of the tax payers money?
Since it is a partially 'official' trip, the King and Queen of Spain will allow a courtesy visit, our tax dollars are well spent. Right?
Air Force Two is being well utilized to fly two people and their posse to Spain for two days, where it will sit on the ramp in wait.
Add to that the other aircraft needed to fly armored limos, Secret Service and support staff, and the like, and you have a very tidy 300,000 or so in expenses.
And no doubt, there are a couple of F15 Strike Eagles around to fly escort across the big pond.

60 rooms in one of the most expensive resorts in Europe, complete with five star restaurants.
Oh, but the Obama's are paying for all of that out of their own pockets.
Right!

And this is but one of eight 'vacations' the First Lady will enjoy this summer.
This trip is going to be so stressful, she will need another 10 days later this month with Potus.
Shopping and eating gourmet is so stressful!

Do y'all hear someone playing a fiddle somewhere?
I smell smoke!
