Until Michelle Obama starts building peasant villages on the WH lawn to watch peons go about their lives, this comparision smacks of a cheap political shot.

Oh wait. Manifest Destinay posted this article. Case closed.

I know Canadians dont mind giving money to the royals so they can live their lavish lifstyle at your expense. Americans dont like this. They are spending tax payers money, when many people cant make ends meet and we are running a huge deficit.

$1:
Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends which has cost U.S. taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds.
The First Lady has been lambasted for her extravagance at a time when the economy is still struggling. One blogger went so far as to brand her a modern-day Marie Antoinette.

The exact cost of the trip is unclear as Mrs Obama, 46, and her friends are footing personal expenses - including accommodation at Marbella's five-star Hotel Villa Padierna - themselves.
But the taxpayer will have to pick up the tab for the First Lady's 68-strong security detail, her personal staff - and the use of presidential jet Air Force Two.
The cost of accommodating the secret service team runs at around £172 each a day which amounts to nearly £60,000 for the length of the summer break.
Use of Air Force Two, the Air Force version of a 757, comes in at £91,900 for the round trip. This does not include time on the ground.
The American public will also cover the cost of the only official part of the holiday, a visit to the Spanish royal family on the island of Majorca.
A conservative estimate puts the total amount at around £150,000.
Back in the U.S., anger was mounting - especially as it has emerged the First Lady will have enjoyed eight holidays by the end of the summer.
These include a trip to Los Angeles in June, a visit to the Florida's oil-hit Gulf Coast next weekend and a ten-day trip to Martha's Vineyard later this month.

I bewlieve the article mentioned that the trip was being paid for by Michelle Obama. It didn't mention this until way down, so it is clear that the writer wanted less attentive readers to believe otherwise--and predictably you fell right into that trap.

AS for the 70 secret service agents--I agree. Ridiculous. But very doubtful that this would be Michelle Obama's decision.

Back into your manhole, troll.

Again, you demonstrate your reading comprehension skills. It is not mentioned until the fourth paragraph, long after the writer has finished her hatchet job.

Please don't try to compare you and me. I have, at last count, 394 rep points while you are in the red. You don't even deserve to be in the same room as me. Now apologize, then fuck off.

The right wouldn't be satisfied unless they see Obama and Michelle dressed in rags - and chains, picking cotton on the White House lawn.

Why cause you have more rep points? Just cause everyone here pats each others backs?? I take my negative rep points proudly thank you very much. I will never apoligize to a anti American bigot like you.

Do you want to add our monarchy to the list of things you know nothing about?

Really, why do you post here?

Read the last article I posted that what I am refering to. It is stated early on how the expense is broken down I cut and pasted it.
