Once again America's Self-Appointed Queen goes lavish while her husband exploits the unemployed for political gain - extorting Republicans over long-term unemployment insurance. The Obamas are tone deaf how their lavish lifestyle appears to the average American. The White House conceded on Monday that the federal treasury will foot the bill to fly First Lady Michelle Obama back to Washington, D.C. on a separate government aircraft after she finishes her extended vacation at the palatial 12-bedroom Hawaii home of talk show legend Oprah Winfrey. Dedicated vehicles, Secret Service costs, and security sweeps of the Winfrey estate on Maui will add considerably to the total tab. A Fox News Channel reporter asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Monday to clarify who would get the bill for Mrs. Obama's travel, and the spinner landed on taxpayers. 'Does that mean he's paying for the flight back, or are the taxpayers paying for it?' Carney read from a prepared statement in his briefing binder: 'As with all personal travel, the first family will appropriately fund personal expenses, Ed.' 'And in line with past presidents and first ladies, the first lady will travel via government aircraft, but you are accurate in your description that this was – her decision to remain in Hawaii – the president's suggestion that she remain in Hawaii to spend time with friends ahead of this very big birthday. Happy birthday, Michelle .from all of US! Taxpayers foot the bill for First Lady's extended Hawaiian vacation so she can celebrate her 50th in Oprah's Maui home The first lady remained behind in Hawaii following a 15-day family vacation, and will stay at the 12-bedroom island home of Oprah Winfrey Mrs Obama will be flown home on a separate aircraft, with tax dollars covering the cost The White House insists she will be responsible for her own 'personal expenses' Secret Service protection and dedicated vehicles will add significantly to the price tag of what the president described as an early birthday gift Her extended stay will likely also require the continued use of several government vehicles, including 'secure transportation' whenever the first lady ventures out of the house, according to a former Secret Service officer who spoke on background. Mrs. Obama likely has a 'standard protection detail,' he told MailOnline, without elaborating on how many agents that would entail or what their services would cost the Department of Homeland Security. 'The flight itself wouldn't be a small passenger jet,' he predicted. 'It would be a larger military aircraft with room in its hold for cars and SUVs, vehicles that otherwise would have come back with the rest of the family.'
