National Enquirer

09/14/2010

After blowing nearly a half-a half-million dollars on a Spanish shopping spree, MICHELLE OBAMA has plans to spend a whopping $2 million in the coming year while the nation struggles with its worst recession ever.

Nearly 15 million people are un employed, but that hasn t stopped the first lady from spending like Marie Antoinette and appearing to live it up like a lottery winner, fume outraged critics.

Worried White House advisers have told the president he quickly needs to get his wife under control because her reckless spending on trips, shopping and redecorating is sending an intensely negative mes sage to Americans in a bad economy and could under mine his re-election plans.

The president s advisers hit the roof recently when they found out Michelle was arranging other ex otic trips in the new year with girlfriends on top of sprucing up their White House living quarters and her plans to do some redecorating at their home back in Chicago, dis closed a top Washington source.

They ve estimated that all the spending will top more than $2 million!

While the first family was in Martha s Vineyard on an end-of-summer vacation, Michelle s hush-hush makeover of her husband s Oval Office was com pleted. The White House had to quickly point out it was done without cost to taxpayers by the nonprofit White House Historical Association.

But critics insist it sent the wrong message to a belt-tight ening public, and a New York Times columnist pointed out that in 2009 when Obama re leased his first budget, he said: There are times when you can afford to redecorate your house, and there are times when you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation.

Confided a D.C. insider: Michelle was behind the redesign of her husband s office, but the last thing he needs is an electorate thinking she s living it up like a lottery winner.

They ll flip if she takes more exotic vaca tions and they won t care if renovations to the White House liv ing quarters and their house back in Chicago are done by benefac tors. It still sends the wrong message.

As The ENQUIRER first re ported, Michelle and her entourage re cently spent five days in Spain, ringing up some $500,000 in expenses much of it on the taxpayers tab, say sources.

On top of that, the stylish first lady loves top-dollar designer duds and hosting fancy dinner parties, said a Beltway insider. The bad economy seems to have no effect on her.
