Michelle Obama's Visit To Spain Cost Us $85,000 a Day

Now this is news I could have done without.  With money being so short for everyone and people out of work, drawing welfare and unemployment, this is hardly the time to be spending this kind of money on a vacation at the tax payers expense.  It seems the President is using his time in office to see the world and all that it has to offer.
Sure wish he could see the real life that most of us Americans are leading.

It is being reported that Mrs. Obama's "personal visit" to Spain is costing U.S. taxpayers $85,000 a day.

The first lady flew to Spain on board a U.S. Air Force Special Missions 757 presidential aircraft.

In addition to that airplane, I can tell you from personal experience that there is also a back-up aircraft nearby and there must have been U.S. Air Force planes dedicated to transporting the limos and Secret Service vehicles for the first lady and her daughter as well as White House Communications personnel and equipment.
