The Tone-Deaf Tour Continues

Michelle Obama's conspicuous consumption is even infuriating our allies, including the U.K.'s Daily Mail, which rips the free-spending First Lady and her entourage:


Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering £50,000 a day.

The First Lady has been lambasted for her extravagance at a time when the economy is still struggling. One blogger went so far as to brand her a modern-day Marie Antoinette.

And her critics will be further annoyed when they learn that the president's wife had a Spanish beach closed off today so that she, her daughter and their entourage could go for a swim.

I'm sure if they made an effort they could find a way to plot a more tone-deaf public spectacle to reinforce the notion that the first family is grossly out of touch with the economic pains being experienced by so many Americans... but it might be tough.

Democrat candidates couldn't ask for a better poison pill !!

5 Let Them Eat Lobster
The simple truth is Barack Obama is a narcissistic flim flam man, in the hip pocket of elite financiers like George Soros. The President, like Nero, is fiddling while his country burns. He couldn't care less about the plight of the unwashed masses. In fact, unlike so many of his democratic cronies, he's even incapable of crocodile tears. It comes as no surprise that his wife acts out the same derangement in character. They are two peas in a pod.

6 I have to wonder why in the heck she needs a 68 strong security detail. Seems rather excessive. Like her entire trip.

7 She needs a 68 man security-detail because she brought 40 friends along with her on our dim(s). Those guys have to do three shifts/day and cover every place the wookie (and her friends) want to go in advance.

8 I'm so glad that Michelle has already seen all of America, so we won't be bothered by those air traffic delays and motorcades once Barack gets a new job in about 2 years.

9 THis is such a disgrace of to the position she is holding. Closing beaches, extravagant spending, The "Material Girl" is sending all the wrong signals to the world. Did SHE EVEN think of going to the Gulf Coast of Florida for her vacation, they are celebrating the National Seafood festival.. Or is THIS BELOW her new held position of "Queen" Beyond dissapointed.... Reference other first ladies, Bush, Clinton, who had the class to go to thier own homes, lake houses, friends estates, national parks for a break.. Who does she think she is, a celebrity..
