Michelle Obama considering spending the summer on Martha’s Vineyard. Exhausted after three months – three months, poor woman – without a vacation, it’s understandable why the first lady feels she needs an extended break.

Wow - I guess I just live dangerously, but there is no way on God's green earth that I would be caught DEAD on a touring bike with a helmet. Racing bike, maybe. But just lolling around the bike paths with a piece of styrofoam strapped on my head? haha not this chick. Sorry, I have standards! And I would never ride a doofy bike like that either! It needs a little basket with plastic daisies strapped on the front!
(And YES, I am in favor of helmets for children, but that's because they don't practice good safety skills and their brains are not fully developed.)
In SF all the dorks wear the whole deal, helmet, bike racing jersey, spandex shorts, etc. Lance Armstrong wannabees.
And in some parts of 'Frisco they cut out the butt of the spandex shorts before they "ride"....
I wouldn't wear one either. Maybe on a motorcycle, but never a bicycle. Cripes, I lived most of my childhood on a bike and I took some mighty falls but the only injury I remember was to my butt... and a few hard knocks to my nether regions when I slipped onto the bar. Never made sense to me that girls' bikes don't have a bar and boys' bikes do. Isn't that the opposite of the way it should be?
I can understand some people not wanting to wear a helmet on a bicycle, but the way I ride, I always wear one. Having broken a number of helmets over my head on both motorcycles and bicycles, it's a requirement for me.
My last head injury was on my mountain bike, practicing for a race. Tore the helmet to pieces, and it was brand new. Best $75 I ever spent. Even with a good quality helmet, I had a mild concussion and a detached retina. The emergency room doctor kept asking what kind of truck ran over me.
If you feel you don't need a helmet, you're obviously not going fast enough.
OK, Speed Racer - YOU may wear a helmet and not necessarily look like a dork. But Moochie looks like the bike lady from Wizard of Oz http://tinyurl.com/praetbc
Ding dong the witch is dead.. the wicked witch....
I find it interesting that the 0s supposedly pay for their own vacations, other than AF1 and security. I recently read their net worth was something like $10,000,000 and they can afford vacations of this magnitude. Housing alone is in the millions on these freeloaders vacays;). Can we say thugs?
Send her to Kenya, she can help out Barack's relatives with their charity, plus there she can wear a crown and be the queen bitch of some village since she would be the only one who has all her teeth and can wear shoes without falling down....
Ohhhhhhh... let her be the latrine tester for the charity! She would be excellent for it since she is so full of.....
Michelle just LOVES to do this kind of thing so she can "stick it to white folks".
Reggie Love will be spending the summer in DC coincidentally.
They both get what they want. Wookie gets her fat-ass cheeks spread by the bike, and Obummer gets the same with Reggie!!
If this story is about the Wookie,why is BO on a bike? Oh wait they look the same . maybe it was Photoshop. After the big party at the Black House May 28th, they can all go on a world tour till 2016. Spend, Spend, Spend..Hey if we need more money ,we can print it and raise taxes. It good to be King!
Will she be taking the "short bus" for her vacation?
After all the scandals, this might be the last time they vacation on our dime.
I can only hope you are so right about this.
She is a major league pain in the ass. The best thing for everyone would be to keep her the hell away from public view.
I prefer that she be paraded in public, and asked a lot of question. She spews venom so well, maybe some people would start to pay attention.
Minding our business for us is hard work.
