In today's NY Daily News, Andrea Tantaros calls Michelle Obama a modern day Marie Antoinette for her seeming inability to tone down her lavish life style. Tantaros is especially upset that Michelle's current vacation in Spain will cost millions in taxpayers dollars. She is also upset that the Obama's still claim to understand what the average American family is going through during these hard times.
Personally, I think that the President and his wife are entitled to take vacations whenever and wherever they want. The job is hard enough without having to deal with criticism about vacations. That said, I agree that it is truly tone deaf for Michelle to go to Spain for her holiday. There have to be enough places in the USA that could meet her requirements and which would at least keep the economic boost from all the spending that comes with her inside the country. It is, however, her choice as far as I am concerned.
