THANK YOU AMERICA !

Dear American Taxpayer

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed
of my country.

I want to thank the hard working American people for paying
the $242,000 dollars for my vacation in Spain .

My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my
personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time.

Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed
in a $2,500.00 per night private 3-story villa at a
5-Star luxury hotel.

Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two and the
70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be
sure we were safe and cared for at all times. By the way,
if you happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol, I highly
recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant in Marbella ;
great lobster with rice and oysters!

I'm ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha's Vineyard
were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you're
not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it?

Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate
according to Government Accounting Office reports) only used
47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions
were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates,
but they are close.

That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore
would say,so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller,
more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen
our combined carbon footprint.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling
to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet.
So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.

I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on
a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago.

I just had to get away for a few days.

Cordially,

Michelle (Moochelle) Obama

P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip to
India from which we just returned!

P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to Martha's
Vineyard ; it was fabulous.

And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our
dog Bo to Martha's Vineyard so we and the children could
have him with us while we were away from the White House
for eleven days. After all, we couldn't take him on Air
Force One because he might pee on some wires or something.

P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our
two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000 square
foot house was great!

P.SSSs don't forget my ski trip to Vail this winter and
now the girls and I are in Africa with my mom. All this
while Barack golf’s and campaigns to keep my trips coming
for the next 4 years !

Love ya!

Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic
times equally! Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.
