Michelle and the kids went to Africa last year on "official business". In order to make it legal to carry her girls, Malia and Sasha were listed on the passenger list as "Senior Advisors". The whole entourage cost the US taxpayer $424,000.00 just for airfare. Food and hotels were a lot more.
They also got to go on an African Safari. I wonder what "Official Business" has to do with a Safari. The White House refused to release this info to the Smoking Gun and other sites like it and they had to sue in order to obtain this information.
The White House did not want to release this info because of the high unemployment and did want to be seen as "extravagant". The media was more than happy to help them keep all of this low key.
