Judicial Watch Sues U.S. Air Force for Records Detailing Costs of Michelle Obama’s August 2010 ‘Whirlwind’ Vacation to Spain

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it filed a lawsuit on March 5, 2012, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the United States Air Force to obtain records detailing Michelle Obama’s controversial August 2010 vacation to Spain. Overall, Judicial Watch is seeking information pertaining to the costs to taxpayers for this vacation as well as any indication of official business conducted by Mrs. Obama while she was in the country.

“That this lavish trip may be a source of embarrassment for the Obamas is not a sufficient reason to stonewall the release of records. 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 family’s luxury trip,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Convicted Killer Got Unemployment While in LA Jail

Anthony "Chopper" Garcia received more than $30,000 in fraudulent unemployment benefits while in the Los Angeles County Jail from 2008 to 2010. Garcia, a convicted murderer, gained notoriety for having a murder scene tattooed on his chest. He was convicted in 2004 for the murder of Pico Rivera, a rival gang member. The tattoo of the murder scene was used as evidence against him in the trial.

In order to make this scheme work, Garcia had his father and 2 girlfriends cash his unemployment checks and deposit the cash into his inmate account as well as the accounts of his fellow gang members.

Garcia's father, Juan Garcia, 47, and his girlfriends, Sandra Jaimez, 45, and Cynthia Limas, 25, have been charged with grand theft.

Oil Reaches $110 a Barrel

With a disputed report of a possible pipeline blast in Saudi Arabia and India's refusal to cut oil imports from Iran as part of the sanction against them regarding the Iranian nuclear policy, oil prices soared higher today to $110 per barrel. The price of oil has leaped to its highest since its peak in mid-2008.

With no relief in sight, gas prices will continue its upward climb. In cities in California and New York, gas prices have already reached $5 a gallon.

The president, in a definite political ploy to curry favor with voters, is going to release oil from the strategic reserve during the summer. In a speech in Florida, the president made it clear that it is not amount of oil on the market that is driving gas prices up. According Obama, there are many factors including India's and China's demand for gasoline that is driving the price up.
