Michelle & Sasha Obama: Marbella Mates
Continuing their luxurious vacation, First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughter Sasha were spotted out on the sun soaked beaches of Marbella, Spain today (August 6).
While Sasha splashed around in the sea and danced in the sand, Mrs. Obama stayed close to her swanky VIP area at the Villa Padierna Beach Club.
Given the sad economic state the USA is in these days, the Obamas are receiving criticism for living so large, especially in the public eye.
Political strategist Leslie Sanchez explained, “The bottom line answer is optics matter. First ladies wield a tremendous amount of influence behind the scenes and they’re the perception of the administration. At a time when we’re seeing 9.6 percent unemployment, 70,000 jobs lost this month, people are losing their homes, and it doesn’t convey that she senses the plight of working families. This is more of a narrative that many of his critics push that they’re an elitist administration, thumbing their nose at working families.”
