He most certainly did, in 2010, early a year after he criticized companies that received federal money for taking corporate junkets to Las Vegas by saying this: "You can't go take that trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on taxpayers' dime,"
Aw--I'm disappointed. I thought surely one of the radical right-wingers would call it the Chinese lame stream media. Don't fret--I'm sure those biased Daily Whatever sites will give you some red meat to throw at the First Lady so that you can turn good will into bad.
I really don't know who you are referring to as a "radical right-winger" because it sure doesn't apply to me. Is a "radical right-winger" the same as a worshipper because I have never seen such a large number of people who actually worship another human being and hold him/her to Godly status as do those that worship the Pope?
You actually know what I read, listen to and put my belief in??
“The last high profile politician’s wife we had was Madame Mao,” remarked one local government official ahead of Mrs Obama’s visit. “And that did not turn out so well.” Jiang Qing, Chairman Mao’s fourth wife, was executed for her crimes during the Cultural Revolution.
Apparently the staff at the $8,000+ per night suite they are staying in cant wait for them to leave. Mama Bama is barking at the staff and it is a circus.

but this isn't about Laura Bush, those were different times....and I don't know why people keep insisting to compare, since Laura Bush, the countries deficit has what, doubled, more and more people loosing their jobs to over seas contractors, and it is bad and difficult for a lot of people so, my first thoughts as First Lady would be, be a little aware of that fact and don't spend so much of the taxpayers money,or else use my money...humble would be the word...frugal and humble.
The so-called "taxpayer uproar"--invisible to anyone who isn't wearing the magic goggles apparently handed out to Washington Times reporters--is a figment of Sun Myung Moon's imagination.
Good job following your marching orders, Grets!
Oh please, there has been an ongoing questioning by many taxpayers regarding Michelle Obama's extravagant travel forays, and in particular a question of just how the US taxpayer benefits from these junkets: Michelle Obama Spain Trip Cost Taxpayers $467,000: Judicial Watch
The economy was not in a zhithole back then, Obama and first lady should lead by example, and BTW, Laura Bush has more class in her little finger than the present first lady has in her whole body.
Millions more are gaining healthcare for the first time in their lives but what`s that have to do with First Ladies traveling? Deflect much?
I didn't know it was trade off.
