First Lady Faces Criticism Over Vacation

Michelle Obama’s vacation in Spain with daughter Sasha and friends is causing some raised eyebrows. Critics are questioning the cost to the taxpayer and the perception created in tough economic times.



    The Reign In Spain

Does Michele feel our pain
While relaxing in Spain,
On the chic Costa del Sol?

Are she and her party
All partying hearty,
With some voters still on the dole?

Room rates out of sight,
About two grand a night,
Might make some officials quite queasy.

But as far as we know,
They got enough dough
For the first lady to take it quite easy.

With some of her friends,
The First Lady spends
The days in surroundings quite posh.

Is she spending her time
In the profane or sublime?
Or is it what some call panache?
