Michelle Obama To Enter Campaign Fray
Monday, August 16, 2010
Media Matters says "Not true" to a tape it has up at its site of Rush Limbaugh's show, and gives no citations to support the contention. Nor do you. Nor does the White House. Because the White House refuses to give info, saying it was a "personal" trip. Yet in order to justify the taxpayer picking up the costs, by law, the White House squeezed in a lunch with the King of Spain.
The facts are that the American taxpayer spent, MINIMUM, $95,000 in per diems for the SS, or who knows how much in per diems for staff accompanying her that wouldn't have been spent had she stayed home. The American taxpayer would not be spending over $200,000 for her transportation to and during her "personal" vacation, nor over $10,000 per day for hotel accommodations for her vacation. We also wouldn't be paying for her friends' land transportation, as we are for this trip in Spain.
Michelle is only reimbursing $15,000 for the plane trip.
