Should Michelle Obama be having a luxury vacation while her husband is on TV trying to plug the BP oil leak?

    You seem to forget that it she is a mother of two young girls and it is summer vacation for them. They didn't get on a big bird and fly off to countries they didn't get to visit last year. During their spring break when they were scheduled to accompany Dad to some foreign adventure which he canceled due to domestic issues, Michelle quickly made it a "stay-in-America" vacation and took them to New York City. This is what mothers do!!! Maybe the vacations sound "grand" to you, Bonnie, and, yes, there are perks like a Laker game in a luxury box, but this is also what many other Americans can do for their kids. Probably the box was obtained by a phone call to a supporter. If a billionaire has a property which affords the protection necessary for a "day at the beach" (bet the Secret Service was overjoyed with it), then why shouldn't he invite them. As far as a $45 dinner or pizza with Mario, we are middle class and took our daughter to Europe where $45 was a normal dinner and, by happen chance, some years ago we went to Po in NYC and Mario happen to be there and sat with us a bit. I guess we are "come uppers" to be happy to be able to do these things. Get a life!!!! Michelle has spent more time being with "the people" than any other first lady I can remember because I was too young to know what Eleanor Roosevelt was doing. But then, if you didn't gossip, you wouldn't have a job.
