The elder daughter of US President Barack Obama is spending her springbreak in the historic Mexican city of Oaxaca in the company of 12 friends, a state police official said.
The young tourists, including 13-year-old Malia Ann Obama, are staying at a downtown hotel in this city famous for its colonial architecture and well-preserved native American traditions, the official said.
"We are here to block access to the hotel by other people and escort the vehicles that are carrying the visitors to tourism sites," the police official told AFP under the condition of anonymity.
Malia Obama and her friend are guarded by 25 US Secret Service agents as well as Mexican police, the official noted.
The group, which arrived in Oaxaca Saturday, has already visited the architectural zone of Mitla and the tree of El Tule believed to have one thousand years.
The sightseeing plan also includes visits to Monte Alban known for its archeological research sites and Oaxaca's famous artisan quarters.
Wow it's really nice that she's following in mommy's footsteps. That must be the most expensive sleep over ever! Glad my tax dollars are hard at work. I wouldn't want all of that vacation money to be spent on something useful like someone in need of food or a roof over their head. Ok going back under my rock now.
ReplyDeleteYep, the Beverly hillbillies have taken over the white house again! First, jimmy carter and now, barack Obama selfishly using taxpayer dollars for their personal enjoyment...
ReplyDeleteThey moved on up like George and Wheezy...I Love it!!! Obama has my vote for 2013!!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all spring break is for college kids not 13 year olds. Most 13 year olds I know stay at home with their parents and are just glad to be off from school. Secondly this has never been done by a President that I know of. I think Obama the fraudulent President should pay the bill for his daughter's vacation with friends and also pay or the Secret Service to protect her and stop spending taxpayers money like it is going out of style. He is the one that said "we all need to have skin in the game." He is so out of touch with the American people it is unreal. About one fifth of Americans are not working, peopleare losing their homes. Some people haveto decide whether to buy prescriptions or buy food for their kids. Obama doesn't have a clue. Not even mentioning he would like to see gas prices at eight or ten dollars a gallon so we would be forced to use alternate fuels.
ReplyDeleteVOTE FOR ANYBODY BUT OBAMA.
Yes, we now have the first president who is supposed to lock himself and family away from the world. LOL
