Luck's Thoughts on the Michelle Obama Controversy..

Okay Okay... I've had some time to read several news articles on the Michelle Obama controversy regarding her trip to Spain, and I'm ready to give my thoughts on the issues...

I personally feel that the itemization of Michelle's trip is very PETTY. Granted the trip was pretty expensive, anything the President and his Family does will cost more than a person would expect. 

The thing that gets me is the fact that certain people feel it's their RIGHT to know what is being spent and on what. Be Realistic, do you really think that this trip is the most expensive thing the Presidential family has done thus far?

I keep hearing people talk about the taxpayer's money, the taxpayers money.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ... We've been spending money on presidential trips for decades
 (despite it being on a business level or not)

How many trips do you think Laura Bush went on without the country's knowledge or scrutiny?

Why is that we choose to have issues over money we as citizens of the U.S would've never seen anyway. Would the money have went into your pocket anyway? No. But taking the taxpayer's money and funding the war is legitimate spending? Hilarious

I don't try to get into politics but these are just my thoughts.. I don't feel its right to judge her or call her "out-of-touch" simply because the media has decided that her trip would be an interesting story. The facts are that she is the first lady and any endeavor she takes on (whether personal or business) will be costly in some aspect. People out there are just MAD because Obama was elected for President and they must find something wrong with the way he operates in office or with his choices. Whether it be an appearance on The View or how he handled the Oil Spill, any issue that a "non-supporter" can bring to light in order to bash his judgement is done at all cost.

Now everyone wants to talk about the first families image for America. GET A LIFE. Be your own Image for America. There wouldn't be anything to say about Michelle or the first family if someone wasn't digging for something to talk about in the first place. At the end of the day this Family is still a Family. They go on vacations, buy pets, buy clothes, just like any other family living in the U.S. The only difference is that they are now forced to account for every nickel and dime spent; They must have security and their life stays under a microscope. Please Focus on something of some Importance in your own Life. No one has mentioned the fact that the President attempted to drop his earnings from $400,000 to $100,000 but the Constitution didn't allow him to take the pay cut. This was instance of him leading by example. So Before you form an opinion, THINK about the situation with an open mind. 

Would you not go on any trips if you were the first lady? 

This Family does not owe anyone a explanation and they are doing their best to fix the current state of the economy. Get a CLUE!
