17 days' vacation at government expense not enough for Mooch
President Barack Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha left their vacation in Hawaii on Saturday, but left First Lady Michelle Obama behind on the islands, according to news agency reports. The president reportedly let his wife stay on in Hawaii with friends as a "birthday present." Michelle Obama will turn 50 years old on Jan. 17.It's tough wining and dining Mooch in the style to which she wants to become accustomed. But the American taxpayer is up to the task. Be there. Aloha.
It is a birthday present whose costs, in separate travel and security expenses, are likely to be borne, in part, by taxpayers. On a previous occasion, when Mrs. Obama left for a Hawaii vacation in advance of her husband, the additional cost to the Treasury was estimated to be at least $63,000, and potentially upwards of $100,000.

The hypocrisy only gets worse
Here's some of the insightful comments to the cite you linked to in suport of your opinion.

Some real class acts!
Mutaman,
I did not read the comments at Breitbart. Pointing out the fact that Michelle Obama takes hugely expensive personal vacations at government expense is not racist - I cannot recall any other first lady doing anything of the sort.
And by the way, Mutaman, a 'cite' is short for citation, which means quoting something that is written elsewhere. We link to web sites.
There was a Leftist site that linked this post and called it 'classy.' Someone commented at that site complaining that as an Israeli (and presumably not an American), I should tell my own country not to take US military aid in order to lower US taxes and should have no other stake in the question. For the record:
1. I am a dual US - Israeli citizen and must file a US tax return each year (and pay US taxes if I do not have enough of a foreign tax credit to offset my US liability), so I do have a stake in the level of US taxes.
2. Nearly all the money that is given to Israel for military aid each year is plowed back into the US economy through military purchases - a practice that stifles the growth of Israel's own weapons industry. Most of the money is loans (or loan guarantees) rather than out-and-out grants anyway. And many here have argued cogently that we should stop taking it for our own sakes.

Muteman, as Carl points out, all you can do is point out comments not to your liking (many of those site by Janet Shan are not racist at all), while not arguing with the actual story.
Most people would consider that an admission on your part. So you must be a racist or something. See how that works?!
Leftists resort writing about what they see most of their lives - the interior of their lower rectum.
Class act, Mudman!
I did't say any of the comment were "racist", I think my word's were "real class".
Pretty much sums up Breitbart readers, don't you think?
No, it really doesn't, Muttonhead. But thanks for playing.
The putz originating this blog seems quite racist, and not very intelligent.
@Ron If he's not intelligent, and you're not only reading his blog but commenting on, what does that say about you?
Carl, I bet the pig didn't want to come back to the cold. Although, I am sure they have their thermostat set to 78 while telling the rest of us to keep ours at 68.
Oh, and Carl's not a racist. He picks on Biden and Kerry the same amount and they are both white. I am so glad the left is past this color thing.
