Thanks taxpayers! Globetrotting Michelle Obama announces luxurious vacation to China
The Daily Caller ^ | 4 Mar 2014 | Eric Owens

Fresh off the first family’s sixth annual winter vacation to the Hawaiian island of Oahu – billed to American taxpayers at a cost of $4 million – Michelle Obama and the first daughters Malia and Sasha will now jet off to China for over a week of much-needed sightseeing.

President Barack Obama won’t be making the trip.

But don’t worry, America: The first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, will be tagging along on the federal dime.

The theme of the March 19-26 trip will be education, reports the Chicago Tribune. The first lady and her entourage will spend several days in Beijing before venturing to the cities of Xian and Chengdu.

Naturally, the Obama family and its accompanying retinue will take in several cultural and historical sites. They will also stop by high schools in both Beijing and Chengdu.

The first lady will meet with Peng Liyuan, the second and current wife of Xi Jinping, the president of China and the general secretary of the country’s Communist Party.

Liyuan is also an allegedly popular folk singer in China. Here she is, according to YouTube, singing “To See Liberation for All Oppressed People.”

As the Daily Mail observes, the Obamas have spent a tremendous amount of taxpayer money globetrotting in luxury all over the world.

Good example of how idiotic people sound when they suggest the press and the dems are getting tired of these impostors. Free pass, free pass, free pass. How they are adored by their subjects is almost tribal...

It's interesting to compare this against President George W. Bush and his wife usually vacationing at his home in Crawford, TX--you know, the place that the MSM hated because it was almost literally in the middle of nowhere.

All these trips will be converted into propaganda telling what world leader experience she has, and foreign policy experience. Everything fascists do is calculated.
Remember Mrs. Clinton’s “duck to avoid the small arms fire” in Bosnia?

This is completely wrong and I don't buy it for a second!

WHEN HAS EITHER OF THEM EVER SAID THANK YOU TO US?!

Why? Why is she going? She, and a group costing a lot of money, are going to China. For what? She is spending millions of dollars of taxpayer’s money. For what? What will the United States get out of her trip? This is disgusting. Watching her travel the world just because she is the President’s wife bothers me. Doesn’t it you?
