Off to Copenhagen for another taxpayer-funded vacation, this time to make the case that Chicago is the right place for the 2012 Olympics, Michelle Obama had this to say:
"As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days . . ." (Emphasis mine)
This woman gets to fly on a luxury airliner - all expenses paid. She gets to stay at the finest hotel - all expenses paid. She gets to eat at the finest restaurants - all expenses paid. She gets a staff and bodyguards - all expenses paid. She gets a convoy of vehicles to transport here wherever she wants to go - all expenses paid.
So, exactly what sacrifice is being made?
