Judicial Watch Sues Air Force, Secret Service for Michelle Obama Vacation Records
Judicial Watch announced
today that it filed a lawsuit on May 31, 2012, requesting records from the US
Air Force and Secret Service on Michelle Obama’s hoity-toity February ski
vacation to Aspen, Colorado with Sasha and Malia. The Secret Service and Air
Force both received original requests, but have not turned over any records.

President Tom Fitton asked, “Why is the Obama administration repeatedly
stonewalling basic questions about the costs of the Obama family’s personal
travel? In the least, the Obama administration owes the American people the
truth about how much each of these trips cost, instead of stonewalling and
obfuscation.”
Judicial Watch has,
in the past, uncovered extensive evidence of high spending on Obama vacations;
Michelle’s 2010 trip to Spain cost taxpayers nearly half a million dollars, and
her 2011 trip to South Africa and Botswana cost well over $420,000.Source
