Michelle Obama's Spanish Vacation

And the flags on show (plus the security guard) gave an even better indication that Obama and her party would be in residence. But the trip has not gone without courting some controversy: it's believed that approximately 60 rooms have been booked, with the group using presidential jet Air Force Two at a total cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The White House has maintained it's a private trip with Obama and her friends footing all personal expenses.
