Maybe. Certainly more so than any other part of the government.
(Speaking of which: not that I care much, but should the First Lady be jetting around the Costa Del Sol right now? I mean, sure she's footing the bill for hotel rooms and the like, but there's still a hefty taxpayer bill for her security detail and travel on Air Force Two. What about leadership by example? Aren't there plenty of places in the United States worth visiting? Like say, Florida with its beaches that maybe could use a tourism boost in the wake of the BP oil spill? I could really care less where the First Family takes their vacay (Bush The Younger, after all, would decamp to Crawford for a good month in August) but bad, bad optics in this time of economic strife.)
