Beijing hotel workers already 'fed up' with Obama entourage in 3400-square-foot, $8,350-per-night suite inconveniencing 'pretty much everyone' – and the first lady's mother is 'barking at the staff'
Michelle Obama, her daughters and her mother Marian Robinson are staying in a sumptuous presidential suite at a Beijing Westin hotel
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'
Secret Service agents are monopolizing elevators and booting high-paying guests from their rooms to occupy a block of space near the first lady
Both front and back doors of the hotel are blocked off, with Chinese and U.S. security agents screening everyone who enters
Ordinary Chinese describe Mrs. Obama and her family as kind and gracious, but hotel staff are 'fed up'
Of course the hotel workers are 'fed up'! I imagine having so much security and the stress to make everything perfect is difficult. Anytime the president or first lady go somewhere other than the White House, I imagine it's a serious inconvenience to a lot of people. Just think how awful it is when the president comes to town and the freeway gets shut down for hours.
You were "forbidden from sitting in the back of the bus"?
You are ranting and don't even have the rant correct.
So what is the correct rant then. I am from the south and we were told by the bus driver not to sit in the back and to sit in the front. Everyone in the south knew the back was for blacks only.

It happened, now you can sit in the front, get over it already. During the Civil Rights Movement, blacks fought to end racism in America and now many people, particularly blacks, are fighting to keep it alive.

It is clear that Obama and family view themselves as royalty, but they're not. They are employees of "we the people," who are suffering because of his failed policies. What message does it send to all Americans who are struggling?
Many in America wanted to be proud of our first black president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation. Obama and Michelle live their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America's people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.

So, I guess there were no homeless, hungry and unemployed since Obama took office. What has any president done about them.
Ya, we thought Obama was different than other politicians. Obviously not.
Why would you think he was different? I didn't. Maybe that's your mistake so stop blaming it on the rest of us
