The New York Times reports First Lady Michelle Obama’s aides cautioned against her going on the early August European vacation in which she stayed at a 5-star resort in Spain and mingled with royalty. The lavish trip, the aides reportedly argued, could result in harm to her image. “Aides say privately that they warned her there would be a cost to the trip, but she overruled them, insisting it was a rare chance to spend time with Sasha and with a friend whose father had died,” the paper reports. “But the intensity of the uproar — including accusations that she was a ‘modern-day Marie Antoinette’ — caught the White House and Mrs. Obama off guard.”
The trip resulted in the first extended negative press of the First Lady’s time in the White House. Critics questioned why Mrs. Obama chose to go to a glitzy, high-priced resort at a time when unemployment is high and many Americans are suffering economically.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll taken during the trip showed that just 50 percent of those surveyed had a positive impression of Mrs. Obama .

The story (Globe Oct. 4) says that the president told Michelle to "Zip it" when talking to Carla Bruni, the wife of France's leader.
France's first lady asked America's first lady how she liked living in the White House. Michelle said, "Don't ask,it's hell. I can't stand it!"
Well, I think the voters can make sure she's not "in hell" any longer than just the one term. She's an ungrateful, angry "B" !! She's the worst example of a first lady in my lifetime.......bring back Mamie & Jackie !!!
