Recession? What recession? Michelle Obama has reserved about 30 rooms for herself and her daughter, their friends and bodyguards at a five-star hotel in Benahavis (Spain), near Marbella.
Top ten public health disasters of the 20th century: Includes AIDS, black lung disease, cholera, Hong Kong flu, influenza, measles, polio, and rubella.
One in six primary care doctors leave their field in midcareer. More than 20 percent cited long hours and administrative hassles as reasons.

Thirty rooms? I guess if you are the Queen — oops, First Lady, there is no recession.

On doctors burning out, I’m surprised it isn’t higher than that.

I like what Vicki had to say. Hard to believe Queen Obama is so indifferent to the sensibilities of people who are out oof work and suffering.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term “limosine liberal.”

It is unfair to criticize the first lady out of nowhere and assume that she cannot have the freedom to enjoy her free time with her family the way she wants to. If these are tax payer dollars, then yes, we MIGHT have an issue. We might.
If we want to criticize the interventionist way her husband is handling the economy, then yes, we’re doing the right thing.

I cannot imagine the first lady and her entourage needing 30 rooms. I assume some of the rooms will sit empty but were reserved to keep other people away from the hotel floor where Michelle Obama and her friends plan to stay.

Maybe this is a new tactic for increasing aggregate demand…

Watch in the next few years. I suspect the doctor burnout rate will get a lot worse.
