By Judicial Watch, this March. And the administration had to be sued to get this through the FOI act. Way to go Judicial Watch.
'SENIOR STAFFERS' ? ? ?
Michelle Obama Listed Daughters as “Senior Staffers” on African "vacation"
Michelle Obama Listed Daughters As “Senior Staffers” To Justify Expensive African Vacation and Safari. October 5, 2011 The most accountable administration:
Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 ( a Boeing 757) modified by the military for the purpose of flying big-wigs around the world – to fly the First Lady and her entourage to and from Africa , at a cost of $424,142. Another $928.44 was listed as “bulk food” costs of providing 192 onboard meals for the 21 people who made the trip.
The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest as “senior staff.”
“This trip was as much an opportunity for the Obama family to go on a safari as it was a trip to conduct government business,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “This junket wasted tax dollars and the resources of our overextended military. No wonder we had to sue to pry loose this information.” I missed this story yesterday, but it’s worthy of our attention. The nation is suffering with the economy sputtering, the national debt soaring and Obama’s economic rescue policies not only failing but actively making things worse.
Meanwhile, the First Lady justifies an expensive trip to Africa to take a vacation and safari with her daughters by saying it’s “official business” and even going so far as to list her children as “staffers.” The level of arrogance and dishonesty on display here is nothing short of shocking.
But, ER, “hope for change” and “yes we can.. It’s a true story. Check out these links...

arent there child labor laws involved there?
They had to show their daughters the continent of their father's birth!
Mrs. Obama is a disgrace to our country as is her whole family. Bunch of crooks and liars.
This is fraud and illegal use of funds. All of them, kids included should be arrested and put in jail. This freeloading has to stop.
Get real people. Should they fly Southwest?
Well I don't know about you but I've had to give up my vacations. Lets see - because I can no longer afford them. Maybe "The Family" and lets not forget the friends should realize that we can't afford their vacations either! Stay home and do the job you were elected to do and stop rubbing your arrogance in our faces.
What a disgrace to the office of the Prresidency of the United States, plus a slap in the face of the inteligence of the all of the US citizens.
No name please!
