First Lady's trip to Spain

Ok so this is all over the news and I just can't understand why people are so upset. From what I have read, tax payers are upset because they paid for the trip? Am I right? Well I also read that the First Lady paid for her own room, food and transportation. The only thing the tax payers paid for was the security and some photos. This seems hardly a reason to get all butt hurt.

No matter where the First Lady and her children go they need to have security with them. It's the First Lady for heavens sake! I personally think it's wonderful that she took her daughter out of the country to experience another country. I think more people should get out and explore the world. If I had the money you bet I would see as much of the world as possible.

Unless there is something I'm missing with this story then I've voiced my opinion. I think people in our country just need to criticize anything and everything. If we spent more time worrying about things that actually mattered maybe we would get somewhere.

Feel free to tell me details I'm missing in this story.

  1. I think people are upset because so many don't have jobs and can't find work yet they see her running all over the world spending so much money.

  3. I missed this story I guess. But I agree kids should experience other cultures. I feel so lucky that our first daughter was born in Japan. I get annoyed when I see milwives say they "wont" go overseas. It's so narrow minded. We had a great time overseas.

  4. I'm not pro- or anti-Obama, but I'm like 99% sure that alllll the other first ladies in the history of ever have gone on trips around the world. And they're the first lady, so it's going to be nice! I mean, it's in their job description. They travel with or without the president and represent the country. I just think everyone's trying to find reasons to call the Obamas out, so they're picking at all they can get.

  5. The taxpayers are only upset after the media alerted them to the fact that she was in Spain. If it wasn't for the media butting their nose in and making a big deal out of things, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  6. I agree. I personally don't watch the news because I have my own problems to deal with! Without getting so angry about something else. Ha ha

  7. Nicole, you said it exactly how I was trying to get across. SHES THE FIRST LADY!!! Of course she is going to spend a lot of money! It's not like they were poor before presidency so if she went to spain and spent the same amount would anyone care? NO. People need to leave her alone. People try and blame everyone else for the fact that they don't have any jobs. There are jobs out there people, just lower your damn standards and work at burger king!

  8. I suppose I missed all of this nonsense, but I don't get what the issue is with her traveling... don't they get how often high ranking people travel. Take a chill pill (not you the people that are freaking). Everyone is trying to find ALL these bad things to be like see Obama is a horrible president.
