“But on Tuesday Mrs Obama’s office told the New York Times the first lady would remain in Washington with her daughters who are coming to the end of their academic year. “

Doesn’t EVERYONE’S KIDS come to the end of their academic year about this time? They can’t both be ‘seniors’ so It’s not like it’s a ‘graduation’ ceremony.

I never thought I’d like to see that day FR was pro-communist and anti-American.

If this is directed at me, I am neither pro-communist nor anti-American. FR isn't either.

Zhang Ming, a political scientist from China’s Renmin University, predicted Mrs Obama’s absence would “not go down very well” in Beijing.

“First lady diplomacy is also very important and the US side has failed to cooperate,” he said. “According to normal diplomatic etiquette this is very strange. It shouldn’t be like this.”

Pretty scathing criticism there.

There may be a point in defying the Chinese on a matter of principle. They may not like it, but they could respect it.

But this is just dumb insolence. It gains nothing except conforming the uncultured american image.

In one single act Michelle has undone any amused affection the Chinese might have felt for Barack Obowma without erasing the original humiliation.

A non-picture of Michelle not at the reception does not match

America's a fascist oligarchy. Secular humanism is the state orthodoxy, allied with the disruptive revolutionary forces of petroIslam.

That "America" you think you're defending exists only as ephemera.

The Jumah is not a duty on women, who instead, may perform the obligatory Dhuhr (Noon) prayer at their homes although they may join the Jumah prayers, if by doing so does not affect their household duties, or cause them any inconvenience.

I don't think it is stooping to their level, but rather using their tactics against them

Ridiculing is a very effective tactic, it's helped leftists push their agenda quite a bit.

The majority of the pics of Michelle Obama are not photoshopped, but show her hate and bitterness, not to mention her slovenly way of dressing and her superior attitude.

The graphics of the Obamas with their words exposing their agenda are very good for bringing out their wrongdoings as well as the written word.

Yea, some go to far, but it is necessary to fight fire with fire.

Heck, the GOPe is so scared of B H Obama they don't hardly criticize him at all.

FR members aren't all that PC.

Not to mention envy of
