How did we get to this point? I understand protocol, appropriateness, being representative and so on. But honestly, how did we get to the point that any of this is an acceptable way to act by people who we elect to represent us? Any of them. Not just Michelle Obama or Laura Bush or Hillary Clinton.

While we are all worried about her multimillion dollar vacation to Spain and her Whitehouse staff of a record 26, what is really happening? While she is in Spain, missing her husband's birthday, she is meeting with the king of Spain during her "vacation" and the press isn't allowed anywhere, anyhow near what is going on.

She's meeting with a head of a country that Obama's administration wants to model our green world after. The state department lifted a travel warning for American's traveling to Spain just before Michelle's innocent little vacation.

I do believe I have fallen down the rabbit hole.
