Michele Obama goes to China.. Forbids any reporters.

[thereisnospoon]

She shouldn't be going to China in the first place.

Why?

Was it wrong of Bush and Laura to go?

And you do realize that Bush was at his Ranch a large part of the time. That's WITH housing that's made available to the President and his family.

So in effect, the Taxpayer is stuck with maintaining security on two domiciles.

Where were your outrage then?

Again with the "Bush" offset.
Is there an echo in here?

 

[thereisnospoon]

She shouldn't be going to China in the first place.

Yes she should.

On what grounds? For what purpose other than her own enjoyment?
Why are WE paying for HER fun?
No one voted for HER.
She's not the federal payroll.

Bush took his little angels to China.....Why is it inappropriate for Obama to do the same?

Was he "working"?
And when was this? Got a link?

I wouldn't call it working

 

[thereisnospoon]

I didn't mind his diplomatic trips. They are part of the job
I still feel he spent too much time at his ranch

I supported Bush's war on terror until he sidetracked it with an Ill conceived invasion of Iraq...I prefer Obamas taking the war on terror to where the terrorists were actually hiding. Who'da think Bin Laden would be hiding in Pakastan with all the other terrorists?

OBL is dead and that war continues. Obama got us into wars in Egypt, Pakistan, Libya... All undoubtedly supported by you. Soon maybe war with Russia. Iraq ended because Bush set it to end and Obama tried to keep us there...

We are talking about Obama's ******* female partner, not the president of the US, but his wife... His wife will prolly spend more on vacations than Bush and his wife together.

I think both were bad Presidents, mainly because their policies are the same. You think Obama is one of the best and Bush one of the worst, despite their policies being near identical. The main difference in policy between Bush and Obama is that Obama's policies in many cases are a big expansion of how far Bush took his policies.

I didn't see us sending troops into Egypt, Syria or Libya. A major difference from Bush
We will not enter a war with either Iraq or Russia unless a ERepublican gets elected President. Invasion is the only diplomacy they know
The First Lady often represents our country abroad and Michelle Obama does a great job at it. Laura took quite a few trips to Africa and China....I do not recall complaining
The Policies of Bush and those of Obama are quite different. Obama never would have invaded Iraq....that bit of stupidity is something only Bush would have done

talking points..

 

[thereisnospoon]

Goddam lazy shiftless negroes!!!



The Obamas can't take a shit without some right wing hack making a controversy out of it.

"She used fifteen sheets of toilet paper to wipe her ass! Double-ply! ON THE TAXPAYERS' DIME!11!"

You did not link to the source of your copy and paste job, but I bet it was a right wing hack site, amiright?

She probably had diarrhea.

She definitely has diarrhea of the mouth!

Diarrhea of OUR wallets.

 

[thereisnospoon]

She shouldn't be going to China in the first place.

Only true leaders, lead by example. The Obama's have never cared about public opinion, unless an election in which he is running, is looming.

Which public opinion. The two-time butt hurt losers who want "Their Country Back"?

Like these guys who see it as: Michelle Obama, her mom and kids fly to China | The Daily Caller

or, the rest of America who sees it like : Michelle Obama, her mother and daughters head to China

HA!! Your side is having a case of diaper rash. Over the POTUS most recent approval ratings getting down to just a few degrees above freezing.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Look at the good side....maybe she'll join the Maylaysian triple seven, that would be a good thing.

Wow you must really be butt hurt........

Butt hurt....
The room temperature IQ lib phrase of the day..
Hey genius. Go bake cookies.

 

[Claudette]

Just what they need Michelle going to China and taking her mother and kids with her.

Another costly vacation payed for by we the taxpayer.

Wonder who will pay for all those vacations when he's out of office??

Can you point to where Obama has taken more of these vacations than other recent Presidents?

It might help your case

Well, since Claudette was obviously out of her league or just plain old too stupid to know where to look, here is real information about FLOTUS vacations, Michelle Obama vs. Laura Bush.

National Taxpayers Union - Which First Lady Flies Highest? Michelle vs. Laura

From 2001-2009, during the span of her husband's administration, Laura Bush took 46 foreign trips, ended up visiting 73 foreign countries for a total of 212 days, or 7.26% of her husbands two-terms.

By contrast, now in the middle of Obama's 6th year, Michelle Obama has taken 14 trips to a total of 25 foreign countries, a total of 72 days. Obama has now been in office 1,883 days.

72 / 1883 = 3.82%.

Assuming that Michelle Obama continues at this rate, she will never catch up to Laura Bush's record.

So, tell us, y'all, which FLOTUS was more expensive?

Remember, all of Laura Bush's trips were on the public dime, just like Michelle Obama's.

So, the Right is bellyaching about what, again?


Oh, and thanks, [MENTION=42649]Gracie[/MENTION]!

Well I'm old but I'm sure not stupid

Anyone who thinks these expensive trips are okay, especially with the econimic state of this country, has rocks for brains. Perhaps that you and RW to a tee there braindead.

I didn't even look for a comparison.

RW seems to have no problem with Michelle jetting off to China at taxpayers expense.

If the POTUS was with her I wouldn't say a word. Presidents need vacations even more than most folks.

This is just Michelle, her Mom and kids taking a vacation on the taxpayers dime. She ain't the POTUS. She's just his wife and has no government standing outside of being the First lady.

Oh and that goes for any first lady who's taking vacations of our dime.

Suck on that braindead.

It is not a vacation, it is a cultural exchange where she is representing our country. She is meeting with the first lady of China today. Michelle Obama and the girls will be a rock stars in China

 

[thereisnospoon]

Supposedly, it is about education, and the Chinese lead the world in it.

Huh?


???????????????

What's your question? That the Chinese lead the world in Education. Are you questioning that?

yes...We're questioning THAT....
Hey puddin...it isn't how one learns. it is what they do with what they've learned.
If you think the Chinese are so fantastic, then why do you lib pricks ***** about the "jobs going over to China"?\
According to you, the Chinese education system is infallible. That means perhaps the Chinese earned those jobs...
Let's see you wiggle your way out of this one.
It's pretty hard for a logical person to wrap their brain around...
"The Chinese are number one in education".....
Screw China. They( Don't forget, it's Bush's fault) are stealing our jobs"...
Now you libs are the first ones to criticize how other countries have 6 day weeks and year round calendars. That only the most elite students go to university. You say "that's not fair"...
Of course when the local school board increases curriculum standards, you libs are running to the school screaming that "it's not fair"....

 

[thereisnospoon]

She shouldn't be going to China in the first place.

Nixon went to China. So did Pat.

Nixon?....Are you ******* kidding?

Guess they can call it whatever they want. I mean really. A cultural exchange?

Sounds like a pretty good cover for a Chinese vacation for Michelle, Mom and the kids.

As for rock stars?? Gotta laugh at that. Doubt the Chinese would consider any Obama as a rock star especially since the Chinese own billions of out debt. More like servants.

They can't stay long the white house vacation staff is already working on the next vacation.

Here's your problem...No one mentioned any other first lady.
Your side had to produce an excuse. So your offset is "well someone else did that"...
That is not how it works.
The fact is we the taxpayer should NOT be paying for the wife of the POTUS to take herself or her kids or her mother ANYWHERE.
I can agree accompanying the POTUS for matters of diplomacy. Other than that it's pure vacation and should come out of the salary of the POTUS....
Yiu guys made this an "us vs them" argument.
The bottom line is this should not be billed to the taxpayers...EVER.
Now, you can scratch your head, look up at the ceiling for a clever response...don't bother.
This Mrs Obama with her mommy and the kiddies trip is unnecessary and smacks of elitism.
If Mrs Obama wants to spend our money so much let her stay in the US and do something constructive. And that doesn't mean go on a daytime talk show.
Have her go visit St Jude's Hospital. Have her go to homeless shelters. Go to public schools in rural as well as urban areas.

Michelle and the girls will be major attractions wherever they go in China. Like it or not, she is representing our country

Have a problem with international diplomacy?

As I said. You can call a visit anything you want to. I think they are on vacation and have disguised it as an official visit. Any port in a storm and an "officeal visit" sounds much better than a costly vacation would.

Oh I'm sure some of the Chinese will want to get a gander at Michellle and her daughters but I doubt they will be considered rock stars.

Of course the Obamas will have to travel to be seen. Vacation anyone??
