Michelle Obama probably won't be vacationing in Spain again anytime soon.
The First Lady's approval rating has plummeted following her highly-criticized, luxurious Mediterranean vacation with her 9-year-old daughter, a new poll finds.
According to the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, just 50% have a positive impression of her — compared to 64% who answered favorably in a similar April 2009 poll.
Michelle Obama returned from the shopping and sightseeing trip on Sunday with daughter Sasha and a few close friends. She has been disparaged by critics and pundits for staying in the ritzy Costa del Sol in a hotel that has rooms costing up to $2,500 per night.
Even though White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said the Obamas paid for their personal expenses, Obama has been described as a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" for taking such an expensive trip while so many Americans are pinching pennies.
Indeed, as unemployment rises, GDP falls, and home foreclosures increase, you'd think Marie Antoinette Obama would go on a slightly less lavish vacation.
But that's the Obamas for you - fucking clueless about the pain and suffering the majority of Americans are going through.
But the accountability moment is coming.
Oh, yes - it is.
Actually this Spanish junket was after she and the prez suggested the little folks spend their vacations in the Gulf. So she is a lavish spender in a foreign country. At best the Obamas are lavish spending lefties out of touch with a center right populace in both policies and spending habits. Makes me pine for George Mcgovern or Jimmy Carter ...they were just lefties.
ReplyDeleteLavish spending, yes... leftist?.... NOT. Tell me one thing that miserable faker has done that is leftist. The guy is either a wolf in sheep's clothing or he is completely and utterly spineless... or both.
