MEGAN MCARDLE: “What Was Michelle Obama Thinking?” “Whether or not people should resent it, they will, and his party’s already in big enough trouble without reinforcing the Red State sense that this administration is full of out-of-touch elites. I’m astonished that Obama’s advisors gave this trip the green light.”

Plus, from the comments: “I think it’s weird when Democrats tell us how horrible CO2 is, how we can’t keep our houses at a reasonable temperature and then keep the white house balmy and travel by plane unnecessarily, taking their entourage with them. I wouldn’t care as much if it was a conservative did it. The conservatives aren’t telling me how I need to sacrifice for the greater good.”
