Our first lady, Michelle Obama, looks stunning as she vacations in Spain. But, of course, it's not without controversy. There are some on the "right" (FOX NEWS) complaining that she's spending too much money, and they have the audacity to compare her to "modern day Marie Antoinette"!
Are you serious Fox? So what that she is taking a "private" vacation with daughter Sasha (Malia is at camp), while her husband works. And, we don't get why there was criticism when The President celebrated his birthday last Wednesday in Chicago instead of with them. What's the big deal? Complaints about the Spain trip surround talk that she, her family, and her entourage are staying at Hotel Vienna Padierna (a Ritz Carlton Hotel) in which rooms go for $500- $2500 per night. And, that the taxpayers are paying for the bevy of Secret Servicemen by she and Sasha's sides,is another bitch and moan. Again, big deal! Is she the first to do this in the White House? Not!
Also, we think it's great that she's bringing attention to a part of the world where racism is rearing it's ugly head real high these days. There have been news reports of African natives being dragged from there homes to be deported because of illegal immigration statuses.
According to Huff Po,
"State Department had issued a travel warning on its site stating that "racist prejudices could lead to the arrest of Afro-Americans who travel to Spain." But the warning was removed from the site on Monday, two days before Michelle left for Spain."
Interesting. Look-- so what that she will have taken 8 "vacations" by end of summer. They count 3-day weekends as vacations! They pay for their personal trips with their own money, and the secret service is a requirement (luxury?) of all Presidents and their families. Isn't is so that even ex-U.S. Presidents are afforded secret service men? C'Mon Son (FOX) get a life! [Huffington Post]
The "comments" (hate) by Fox is part of the pattern- nothing new- kills them that she is received well across the world and looks great while doing it- can have intelligent conversations with one and all- it is just the way these people operate-
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with people? She deserves a vacation. She's not using tax money, idiots! You do realize that the President and first family (indirectly) make a good income each year. Stop the hate! Positivity is the only thing that's going to bring this society out of its dark despair and really shitty economy.
