Group sues for Michelle Obama vacation recordsA conservative legal group is suing the U.S. Air Force for access to first lady Michelle Obama's travel records from a 2010 vacation to Spain.
Judicial Watch filed suit Tuesday in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for access to all records pertaining to an August 2010 vacation taken by the first lady and her daughters including cost estimates and passenger manifests.
"Evidently, American taxpayers were stuck with a sizable bill so Mrs. Obama could tour around Spain with her family and friends, This administration, as a supposed steward of taxpayer dollars, has an obligation to disclose the full costs of the Obama familys luxury trip," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton in a statement.
The White House has insisted that the Spanish vacation was paid for by the Obama family but taxpayers generally pick up the tab for security and other assorted costs

I hate to say it but it's at least partially about race.
