Got some Arugula?
The NY Daily News is reporting....
But while most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer sojourns - or forgoing them altogether - the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. While many of us are struggling, the First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her "closest friends." According to CNN, the group is expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms, more than a third of the lodgings at the 160-room resort. Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times.

Reports are calling the lodgings of Obama's Spanish fiesta, the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, "luxurious," "posh" and "a millionaires' playground." Estimated room rate per night? Up to a staggering $2,500. Method of transportation? Air Force Two.
When I grow up, I'd like to be a movie star too (oh, I mean a First Lady) and jet set all around the globe on taxpayers' backs.....I think I'd like to play princess for a while (oh I mean First Lady) and not have to pinch pennies and forego luxuries and be thankful every day that I have a job but can't manage a vacation..... Must be nice......
