If ever there was evidence...

...of our President and his wife considering themselves as entitled elitists, I think the report that their 13 year old daughter was sent to vacation in Mexico with her friends and Secret Service Agents is it.

First of all , what 13 year old deserves her own spring break vacation. I'm not sure most college kids deserve spring break vacations... AND what 13 year old needs to vacation without her parents?

Secondly, MEXICO??? This is craziness! Our own State Department is warning great caution in traveling to Mexico because of the drug cartel dangers. I have great admiration for, and faith in, our Secret Service, and frankly, I wouldn't go to Mexico unless I could get Secret Service protection... But think what a prize the daughter of the US President could be to the drug cartel thugs...They could have carte blanche if she was kidnapped...Why would you risk that kind of danger for your child, and the others accompanying her?

Perhaps the justification for her trip was that "normal" kids her age would get to go on such a trip...Maybe it is a school trip...details are lacking (which is safer for all the participants)...

My third point is that a member of the President's family must sometimes make sacrifices of what "normal kids" do because they fall into the category of "not normal kids". Most normal kids don't cost the tax-payers tens of thousands of dollars when they take a trip to Mexico. Most normal kids escapades in a foreign country don't have the potential to cause an international incident.

And, actually, if you want to be a "normal kid", there are likely many more of those whose parents would say: "You're not going." I can't think of another President who would have asked the taxpayers to foot the bill for a 13 year old's vacation. 

This, to me is unarguable evidence that the Obama's think of themselves as royalty more so than public servants.

Disgusting...
