First Lady Michelle Obama’s vacation in Spain with her daughter
Sasha, several friends, their children, and some White House staffers
cost U.S. taxpayers at least $467,585, according to documents obtained
by Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest group that fights
government corruption.
Mrs. Obama took the trip from Aug. 4-8, 2010. That same month,
Judicial Watch filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with
the Secret Service and the Air Force to obtain information on the cost
of the trip. On March 5, 2012, Judicial Watch followed up on its FOIA
request with a lawsuit seeking the relevant information.
According to the information Judicial Watch obtained from the Air Force,
the costs for the travel services that Air Force provided to Mrs. Obama
and her entourage totaled $213,124.15.

November is coming. Remember this is just 1 of many she's taken on the backs of us taxpayers. Would like to see a list and spending of all of them. It would make you sick. Oh, I forgot, we gotta share the wealth?
I would also like to see the total exenditures of Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush (not to mention the Bush twins) while those adminstrations were in office. Or is that too ask of the Right?
