No worries lol, we all know she is on a tax payer funded vacation. Then Obama will say he needs to raise taxes.

Really? You ***** and moan when she talks about eating healthy, but you want her to talk about human rights. That's pretty foolish, but then again, you thought the price of diesel was for EBT.

You are a better person than I am then. I hated the prejudiced of where I could sit, where some could eat, what water fountain some could drink from. And yes we were forbidden from sitting in the back of the bus because that was deemed inferior.


i grew up in the deep south since 1960, and i never saw any of that. not saying it didnt happen, but it wasnt as widespread as people think. maybe a town or two in the whole deep south, but they act like it was everywhere

First Ladies typically make goodwill trips. Did Laura Bush take political stands against her hosts on her many overseas trips?

Michelle Obama
# of trips 14
# Countries 25
# days 72

Laura Bush
# of trips 46
# Countries 73
# days 212

I'm waiting for the Libs to mount a protest of the small little pittance of this amount the Hotel Workers get;


"$8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite"


Perhaps they could go to Bejing and organize a union.

You should have read the OP or the linked article, it's right their in plain English.
Mrs. Robinson has been 'barking at the staff since she arrived,' a hotel staffer said, adding that 'we can't wait for this to be over'

Ordinary Chinese describe Mrs. Obama and her family as kind and gracious, but hotel staff are 'fed up'

'We can't wait for this to be over, to tell you the truth,' he said in a sudden hush. 'We entertain many important people here, but this has been, I think, very different.'

Actually, it is the Right-wingers who are outraged that the staff needs to work there.
