Dear American Taxpayer:

For only the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country.

I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242, 000 for my vacation in Spain.

Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. That’s quite a carbon footprint, as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint. – I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet.

I do appreciate your sacrifice and hope you find work soon.

I was super exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine. I just had to get away for a few days.

Cordially, Moochelle Obama

P.S. Thank you as well for our recent $1 Billion family trip to Brazil.
Love ya, mean it.
