Malia Obama Spent 115,000 Dollars On Mexican Vacation What sixteen-year-old wouldnt want to spend Spring Break vacation in Mexico? Lets rephrase that, what sixteen-year-old wouldnt want to spend Spring Break vacation in Mexico with $115,000 at their fingertips to spend. We understand Malia Obamas desire to spent her trip in Mexico this way, but what we dont understand is that her parents actually let herand at taxpayer expense. According to records obtained by the U.S. Secret Service as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, the total cost of the trip broke $100,000. The First Daughter reportedly spent $21,682.92 on lodging alone, and more than that on ground transportation and airfare. At the time of her trip, Malia Obama was not even thirteen. She was accompanied by 25 U.S. Secret Service Agents and nearly 12 of her friends. Recently, the story was scrubbed from popular news reporting sites. From the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls, state Kristina Schake, Communications Director the First Lady. Still, the damage has been done in the eyes of the public, as this is not the first time the Obamas have racked up hefty bills on taxpayer dollars. What do you think of the then pre-teens trip?
