I don’t really love picking on Michele Obama.  But, sometimes, I have severe class warfare envy when it comes to her vacations.  A few months ago, we were all treated to a picture of Michele shopping incognito at the local Target.  This was put out to tell us she really isn’t highfalutin, but rather, just like us, picking up a few downscale designer duds for a night at the White House.

Now, just a few months after their long Christmas vacation, Michele and the girls are skiing in Aspen, staying at a millionaire’s home (gratis, I guess).  If, as I hope, this is the last year the Obama’s are our nation’s first family, I hope Michele goes on lots of vacations.  Just please don’t tell us in one breath you are just average folks, and then jet off to Aspen, while I am thinking about if the gas it takes to get to Target will eat up the money I have to spend there.
