Pretty funny that you disagree. I assume. Do you think she can just get up and leave at a drop of a hat when she wants to?
Or are you just making another snarky comment that you are known for?

Well,
US taxpayers spent $1.4 BILLION on the Obama family in 2012.
I don't think most prisoners get that type of treatment.
Or get to vacation in Hawaii or Africa or fly in lobsters from Maine, etc.
Very, very poor choice of words from a First Lady

This number is far too abstract and really makes no sense! Rounded off to a paltry $1 billion, that translates to $2,739,726.03 PER DAY! Divide that by 4 and you're talking an expenditure of $684,931.51 per individual per day. Now how were the children able to manage THAT?
Now if you are talking possessions, that kind of money could be used to acquire or build a fleet of rare automobiles, several jets, and helicopters, or to invest in properties, resources or goods. Did they do this?
I'm no fan of the Obamas, but statements such as this are simply whack!
Peace!

Do an internet search on the topic. You can parse the data anyway you want to make it more palatable, even compare it to past Presidents if you want.
In comparison, the Royal Family costs British taxpayers about $60 MILLION per year.
