wtf? did she think the tide was going to go out and not come back?
this is just ridiculous
Michelle Obama and President Obama traveled to Martha’s Vineyard just hours apart, costing taxpayers thousands in additional expenses so she could have just a bit of extra vacation time.
Mrs. Obama and her daughters arrived just before 2 pm Thursday on a U.S. government jet, according to the Martha’s Vineyard Times, which got its information from the local airport. The first lady’s office has been silent on her travel. President Obama arrived in the evening along with the family dog Bo.
The extra costs related to Mrs. Obama’s solo trip mainly include the flight on a specially designed military aircraft she took instead of Air Force One, as well as any extra staff and Secret Service that had to be enlisted to go with her. She would also have had her own motorcade from the airport to her vacation residence.

what about her carbon footprint?
all in all, she's a pretty crappy first lady
Is this story even true? At this link, the picture at the beginning of the video clip has them all traveling together.

But ABC, as posted earlier, also did not SAY they were traveling together, just that they were all going there. And the photos they have consistently used to illustrate both printed and video clips of stories show him alone--waving at the top of the steps to AF1 - him alone descending the steps; him alone waving from a balcony somewhere. They aren't showing him with Michelle and the girls. But I questioned the two planes thing earlier too when I couldn't find ANY mainstream media sources mentioning that. But none mentioned they traveled together either. So. . . .dunno.
