JUST A PERSONAL THANK YOU TO ALL TAXPAYERS...
Dear American Taxpayer
For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in Spain . My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.
Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates, but they are close. That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars instead of those Jeeps, and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.
I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days!
Cordially,
Michelle Obama
P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION trip to India we recently went on. Love ya, mean it.
P.S.S. We also had a great, great time in Hawaii ...at the $9000.00 per night rent, it was cozy.

Michael Savage: He said today's politicians need to learn lessons from history to understand what Obama is doing, asserting that the term "Leninist" better describes the president and his policies than "Marxist."
"Lenin thought that a nation could only grow more prosperous when a nation is controlled by a vanguard and elite............All a nation had to do was transfer its entire wealth to Lenin's vanguard."
