From: O'Donovan, PJ, Himself on 9 Aug 2010 19:04 The problem with Michelle Obama posted elsewhere: "The problem with Michelle Obamas Marabella-to-Marthas-Vineyard August is not that the first family doesnt deserve time off but that Michelle, in the past, has gone on the record that the countrys elite (of which she claimed not to be a part) had created one nation for themselves and quite a different for most others at least thats how I interpreted downright mean country, raise the bar, and never having been proud of her country until the rise of hope and change. So the Versailles-like aura around her trips suggests that her prior angst arose not because millions were not able to share the lifestyles of the elite but that she herself had not yet quite partaken in the sort of life she felt she deserved which she is now apparently enjoying to the fullest. The fact that her Costa del Sol trip coincides with hard times back in the states, comes on the heels of the Kerry yacht and the Clinton wedding, and clashes with her husbands anti-wealthy rhetoric (e.g., at some point youve made enough money) makes it all the more weird, both for her adminstrations equality-of-result politics and for the larger liberal narrative of talking truth to power."
