You guys really don't think very hard about the crap you read.
Have you ever been to a 5 or 4 star hotel? Who do you think is picking up after them, cleaning the suite, bringing food, making the beds, bringing fresh linen? When they want something and call room service or housekeeping who do you think delivers it to - staff? Or do you think secret service is doing all that? In some hotels when there are dignitaries or people well known visiting a hotel staff stands outside in the hall 24/7 to be on the guests beck and call.

After growing up why would you stay in a country you were embarrassed of?

Oh, he got the "change" correct, now we just have no "hope" for 3 more years!

Surely you know those Chinese statistics are rigged?

But the Obamas' stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obama's mother Marian Robinson has been 'barking at the staff since she arrived.'
I doubt that staff at any hotel would speak to reporters about about guests - especially in China.

^^And even if the staff did speak to reporters, which I agree is extremely speculative and unlikely, isn't it common for staff to complain like that, sort of as part of the work culture?

How have they been wronged? They may be busier than usual due to a higher number of quests. If I become busier in my line of work (which often happens), I work harder.

You would have an apoplectic fit if she did. Honestly, your eyeballs would probably just fly right outta your head.
