First Lady Michelle Obama will be accompanied by her children and her mother on her trip to China, which begins today. But she won't be accompanied by the press.

"Michelle Obama’s trip to China starting on Wednesday will be nonpolitical, the White House says, a 'people-to-people exchange' emphasizing the importance that both nations place on education. As if to underscore the point, no reporters are traveling with the first lady, and she does not plan to give interviews while there," reports the New York Times.

The White House is defending the first lady bringing her family along for the ride by saying it's what the Chinese would want. "Tina Tchen, Mrs. Obama’s chief of staff and a first-generation Chinese-American, said a multigenerational visit would be appreciated by the Chinese, who value tradition," says the Times.

Just imagine how many frequent flyer miles these grifters will rack up in 2016. The run the he!! out of the Air Force fleet to fly these pricks all around the planet. Hardly any place will be untouched. And all paid by to good ole taxpayers of the USofA. Remember the round-the-world departure tour the Clintons took on their way out of the White House? The obamas will make that look like a run around the block.

she must be the cover story. I wonder what the real delivery is?

She might be bringing back the missing hijacked plane and all America will bow down to her in awe!(sarc/on/off}

She’s following in Hillary! Clinton’s footsteps by scheduling a VERY costly mega-trip at taxpayer expense that just happens to coincide with the kids’ vacation. Why didn’t she go 2 weeks ago or 2 weeks hence?

It’s a total thumbing of their noses at the U.S. taxpayer. How many taxpayers get to take their kids (and their mother and a few dozen of their ‘best friends’) on such extravagant vacations?

The 2015 and 2016 will really be over the top on perks.

Placer ¿y política? en las vacaciones de Michelle Obama en la Costa del Sol

August 2010: Politics part of First Lady Michelle "Madame Blank Check" Obama's trip to Spain? Yes apparently so.

Translated text.

"Several Arab royal houses also spend their summers in Marbella for years. So, there will be a meeting between Michelle Obama and Prince Salman bin Abdelaziz, governor of Riyadh and brother of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, while another meeting of the first lady with the owner of Málaga CF, billionaire businessman, son he shuffles Qatar's Interior Minister and member of the Qatari royal family, Abdullah Al Thani."

Who's she meeting in Red China and what might she be carrying?
