Michelle Obama spends almost 1 million on 3 vacations out of 16 in 3-1/2 years. Anyone else offended at that amount of our money being spent? Wonder what the other 13 vacations cost us? Anyone had 16 vacations in the last 3-1/2 years?

I, for one, am a bit appalled, number one, at 16 vacations in 3-1/2 years. I understand it's not easy being the first lady but 16? That's a bit excessive I don't care who you are. And although I might have to put my face on every day and do a lot of glad-handing, I'm not sure that I would be so completely worn out from it that I'd need 16 vacations. And it sure isn't the cooking and the cleaning and the laundry and grocery shopping, clothes shopping, ironing, etc getting her down.

I would like to know what the other 13 vacations have cost us as well. I think she should enjoy her last few months as Queen of the US and, hope against hope against hope, come January this Queen will have to move back to Chicago and hire out of her own pocket her domestic help and a private travel agency.
