RE: MICHELLE'S LUXURIOUS TRIP TO SPAIN, EVEN DOWD PILES ON:

RE: MICHELLE'S LUXURIOUS TRIP TO SPAIN, EVEN DOWD PILES ON:

The inimitable columnist Mary McGrory once said that if a first lady simply made her husband toast, that was enough, given how hard his job was.

And because his predecessor mucked things up so royally, President Obama’s job is ridiculously hard. But at moments when you think Michelle might make her husband toast, or better yet a martini, she’s often off on a girls’ trip.

When health care passed after a difficult year and the president celebrated with his staff on the Truman Balcony, the first lady was with her daughters on Broadway to see “Memphis.”

When the BP oil spill stained the White House, making the president seem so impotent that he had to make his first national address from the Oval Office, the first lady was playing with her mother and daughters in Los Angeles, staying at the Beverly Wilshire. She was taking in a Lakers game the night of his address.

MICHELLE IS MORE LIKE MRS. ARAFAT OR MRS. BREZHNEV THAN MRS. BUSH.

A FEW HOURS LATER AND HOT AIR NOTICES.
