Spanish police close public beach for Michelle Obama's £250,000 Spanish holiday

UK Daily Mail "[Andrea] Tantaros wrote: ‘To be clear, what the Obamas do with their money is one thing; what they do with ours is another. Transporting and housing the estimated 70 Secret Service agents who will flank the material girl will cost the taxpayers a pretty penny.’
"She accused the Obamas of hypocrisy for preaching the values of sacrifice and austerity to Americans while seemingly refusing to heed their own advice.
"She said: ‘Instead, Michelle Obama seems more like a modern-day Marie Antoinette… than an average mother of two.’ She added: ‘I don't begrudge anyone rest and relaxation when they work hard. We all need downtime - the First Family included.
"‘It's the extravagance of Michelle Obama's trip and glitzy destination contrasted with President Obama's demonisation of the rich that smacks of hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between the country and its leaders' "

Michelle’s “Excellent Adventure”: Another sign Obama doesn’t really want to be President "Several weeks ago I wrote I thought Barack Obama didn’t really want to be president. The post generated a fair amount of discussion, pro and con.
"Michelle’s $375,000 Spanish vacation — with the Daily Mail dubbing her a “modern-day Marie Antoinette” — is further proof of my thesis." Roger L Simon, Pajamas Media
