Hmm, this article is certainly food for thought.
Michelle’s $375,000 Spanish vacation — with the Daily Mail dubbing her a “modern-day Marie Antoinette” — is further proof of my thesis. What man who wanted to be re-elected (or see his party do well in November) would let his wife go off on such an “excellent adventure” in these economic times? Of course no one denies the right of people to have vacations – I’m coming to the end of one myself on my beloved Bainbridge Island — but closing Mediterranean beaches while booking 60-plus rooms in a five star Marbella hotel for her entourage? It is beyond tone deaf, perhaps to the level of subconscious (or even deliberate) self-sabotage.
You would think that operatives in the White House would have nixed this whole trip or suggested a different place to go. Instead they green-lit it and sure enough she broke the bank. Think about how that $375,000 could have employed 10 people for a year (let alone how many hungry people it could have fed.)
Instead that money was blown on the Spanish luxury economy pretty much for no reason at all. Why did she need so many rooms? Why did she pick one of the most expensive hotels in Marbella? I mean it was supposed to be to teach her daughter about Europe. How much cultural exchange could you do from a $6,500 a night suite?
Does Michelle know that the underemployment rate was 19.1%. That means that nearly 1 or of 4 people are either looking for work or doing part-time work because they can't find something full time. Like I said before they can't afford a $3,750 vacation let alone a $375,000 vacation.
The more this stuff happens the more I agree with the thesis that Obama just doesn't want to be President and is self-sabotaging himself so he doesn't run for a 2nd term. He just wants to give himself an A- for his only term and get out there and do million dollar speaking engagements and forget about leading or running the country.
