While I do agree that the comment made by this person was off topic the response was not completely accurate. It is factual in every sense of the word that our First Lady has traveled on vacations that had absolutely nothing to do with being an "unofficial representative"; see Paris with "the girls", Hawaii at least twice with the children, all separate from the President and all accompanied by an entourage of "assistants". Please review the size of her "staff" if you would like to compare hers with other First Ladies of the past. I would estimate that at least 50% of the public does not agree with her travel.
The law recognizes that there is a possibility of mistakes in vote counts and allows for the option of asking for a recount. It is worth the time and expense to make sure that a mistake has not been made. Let the process work please - at least 49.9% of the people voted for this gentleman and they have the right of verification.
