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 $242 thousand 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 only $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!
Love ya!
Remember we all have to share the pain of these economic times
equally! Love to -redistribute- share- the wealth.
Please vote for our 2nd. term -- I haven't been in Bora Bora YET!!! ;-)
