"$100,000 a day for Michelle O's Italy, England trip"
"The bill for the summer-work vacation of first lady Michelle Obama, accompanied to England and Italy by her daughters, mom, and staff, should easily top her entourage's 2010 trip to Spain that cost an eye-popping $467,000.
While the White House didn't provide cost estimates for the week-long visit to London, Milan, Venice, and Vincenza, Italy, the State Department put lodging costs for just a couple nights in Venice at $128,781, according to Free Beacon, and Air Force charges based on a 2012 document for flying her group on past overseas trips indicate that this one will hit $243,000.
Those charges alone total $371,781. Add in the still unknown lodging costs in London and Milan, based on the Venice hotel charges, and the price should top $600,000, or about $100,000 a day.
And that's just for taxpayer funded airfare and lodging and doesn't include security, staff and other transportation and food."

The Obama family, all of them, are trailer trash, especially that whiny, suffering ever so much Michelle.
The Obozo Flying Circus gives 'trailer trash' a bad name.
this entourage has represented America so well!
one year ago... China outraged by behavior of Obama family "Michelle Obama, her daughter, and her mother in law are on a taxpayer paid for mega-vacation. Chinese hotel staff are raging about the obnoxious, spoiled brat behavior of Obama’s mother-in-law. Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced ‘pretty much everyone’ and made the hotel staff ‘fed up,’ a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline."
‘We can’t wait for this to be over, to tell you the truth,’ he said in a sudden hush. ‘We entertain many important people here, but this has been, I think, very different.’
