You Yankees are just so thickheaded. Just WTF don't you understand about the position and duty of a "Head of State"? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just so way beyond idiocy. For those of us who live in a Parliamentary system the problem does not exist because the head of government is NOT the "Head of State". That is your only option, If you don't like your President and the first family of the land travelling throughout the world then change the freakin constitution and make "Head of state" an appointed and ceremonial office. Otherwise just accept it as the way things are and always have been.

Apparently conservatives object to good will visits by First Ladies only if they are Michelle Obama. Conservative hypocrisy at its best.

The soft-spoken Texan, who has emerged as a poised, low-key and calm presence in the Bush administration, is scheduled to give a speech Tuesday before the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris, where she will talk about the importance of education for children.
Traveling with Jenna, one of her college-aged twin daughters, Laura Bush also is scheduled to visit Hungary and the Czech Republic. In Prague, she will participate in a roundtable on Afghanistan before she joins her husband, President Bush, on May 22 in Berlin.
