Say “Cheese” & Fork Over Your Money — FLOTUS Michelle Obama Charging $10,000 Photo Fee

Posted By on October 19, 2011

FLOTUS Michelle Obama and her enormous entourage on her Spain vacation last summer

 

Taxpayers have paid untold millions for Michelle Obama to take lavish international vacations since living at the White House. We’re still waiting for Team Obama to disclose via an FOIA request what we common “skin in the game” folks footed for FLOTUS and “White House senior staff” Obama daughters to go on their recent African safari trip. A lawsuit is pending against Team Obama for still not releasing this financial disclosure information to the American public.

Now those “evil rich corporate-capitalist” Democrats that the Occupy Wall Street squatters want stripped of their wealth (and Barack Obama has gone on record endorsing) can pay ten thousand smackeroos to have a photo taken with her Royal Highness Michelle Antoinette.

Weasel Zippers has snarkily tagged it the “Deal of the Century.” Heh, heh.

From NBC Chicago News, First Lady Asks for $10K Photo Fee:

How much would you pay to have your picture taken with First Lady Michelle Obama?

When she travels to Chicago next week to tour Chicago food deserts with Mayor Rahm Emanuel and later host a fundraiser at Plumber’s Hall, she will be asking for a pretty penny.

The going rate for a photograph at the near West Side fundraiser with the First Lady is $10,000 for a family of up to six members.

Tickets alone range from $100 and up for the Oct. 25 event.

It’s a safe guess that those wealthy liberals who will be enthusiastically plunking down the $10,000 photo fee to mug it up with Michelle-O don’t often shop at Target for dog food and Lysol.

The vacation-addicted First Lady’s half-a-million-dollar South Africa trip earlier this summer included a number of family members and a pricey safari adventure and a lavish five-star hotel that reportedly cost $10,000 per room per night to lodge there.

The same price for a photo to be snapped with Michelle… intriguing coincidence.

Let them eat arugula! First Lady Michelle Obama during her embarrassingly lavish personal vacation to Spain... thank you, American taxpayers!
