Isn't It Great To Take A Vacation! Just Ask Mrs. Obama

The UK Daily Mail gives us the breathless coverage.

Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering £50,000 a day.

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.

And her critics will be further annoyed when they learn that the president's wife had a Spanish beach closed off today so that she, her daughter and their entourage could go for a swim.

Spanish police cleared off a stretch of beach at the Villa Padierna Hotel in Marbella after the Obamas had finished a busy day of sightseeing.

Hey, girlfriend! A girl's gotta have girlfriends! Ya'll just trippin', gettin' all upset 'bout this. It's cool, really ya'll. After all, it's hard work being the wife of The Winner of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. Just chill, and let her do the same, ya'll.

The private sector of the US economy created 71,000 jobs last month. 120,000 people enter the workforce every month, due to the demographic math of Birth-minus-Death-plus-Immigration.

No worries, ya'll.
