Ok, sooo the First Lady is operating in her capacity as a first lady has for the past 60+ years and now you guys are getting upset about it?
Taxpayer uproar. Right. Sour grapes from a small internet minority?
The office of POTUS has become a monarchy over the years and needs to be reeled in a bit. All members of the ''royal family'' in D.C. need to live less lavishly and more frugally in these trying economic times. This goes for all elected officials and their spouses. As Harry Truman said "The buck stops here". This admin as others could take lessons from Truman's frugality.

Mr. & Mrs. President, to the People they (supposedly) serve: "Do as I say, not as I do"
Mentioning college , it's still very strange why no one remembers Obama in college, not a single person
Barry spent most of his college days hanging out in the black student union organizing protests. No legitimate college student would want to be associated with that and take a chance on an employer finding out you are a troublemaker.
It is NOT a diplomatic trip. If it were, the press would be allowed in. They are NOT. Therefore, it is a vacation. A very expensive vacation.
And if you seriously think that this trip will have any bearing on improving relations with China, you've got to be nuts.

But since I must be a racist, because to criticize the Obama's mean I hate them because of the color of their skin, my criticism must be dismissed.
No press?
So how do we know so much about how Mrs. Obama has spent the last couple of days?
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.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, who sided with Vladimir Putin on the Crimea invasion. Xi actually remarked, “I wish to thank the U.S. side for sending such a heavyweight ambassador to China.” What? A “heavyweight ambassador?” Sounds as if Putin was coaching
