Nixon Sent Kissinger; Obama Sends His Mother-In-Law

An official Air Force jet landed in China on Saturday, carrying the First Lady, her two daughters, and her mother for what is being dubbed “an educational trip.” What exactly is Mrs. Obama planning to learn from China besides what we already know?

Right from the start, Mrs. Obama stated she “rarely makes foreign travel” while speaking to a group of reporters in China, but that’s not true at all. According to the National Taxpayers Union, in the past five years Mrs. Obama traveled outside the country 14 times, visiting 25 different countries, spending 72 days outside of America. That’s hardly rare.

All this expensive travel, and she doesn’t recollect making the trips? According to the Washington Examiner, “Under Obama, Air Force One cost per hour jumped 27% to $228,288.” She sounds like half of the president’s administration when they forget things while testifying before Congress.

Aren’t we a nation so in debt that our military has to be cut by hundreds of billions of dollars? Aren’t we a nation that just told our active combat veterans their benefits were being cut because we can’t afford to hold up our end of the bargain? Aren’t we a nation that threatens our senior citizens by putting their social security checks on hold every time there is a fiscal battle because we can’t afford to honor our obligatory commitments? Didn’t the president just go on television and tell the American people that we should examine our monthly expenses like cell phone bills and cable TV before declaring Obamacare too expensive and prioritize? And if we ultimately conclude that Obamacare is too expensive to include in our budget, we are fined — err, taxed?

To tell you the truth, it scares me to hear the executive branch lecture us about our expenses, as if we need to be instructed by a bloated federal government, while our First Lady makes 14 foreign trips, costing hundreds of millions of dollars, but manages to forget they ever happened.

Then there were the headlines like “Michelle Obama Begins Good-Will Tour in China” from the New York Times to USA Today’s “Michelle Obama practices ‘gentle diplomacy’ in China.” When has it become the policy of the United States to have the first lady practice diplomacy? Is this the same “gentle” diplomacy that has fundamentally transformed us into a laughingstock when we assert ourselves in foreign affairs?

Is this Michelle Obama’s gentle foreign diplomacy going to make China stop manipulating their currency which makes it all the more difficult to competitively price American made products? Will she stop the human rights violations committed by the Chinese? Will it stop their forced abortion policies? Will it stop them from using harmful chemicals in toys sold worldwide? Will she stop China from using arrests and harassment to silence human rights activists? Why are we respecting China by sending our first lady for a visit?

She is going to talk about education to them ? She is not qualified. Send Bill Cosby he had a degree in it. She is gratuitiously spending tax dollars and leaving quite a poor impression while she is at it.

Michelle Obama and other members of the first family reportedly have been causing problems at a hotel where they were staying during their China tour.

A Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel staffer reportedly told The Daily Mail that the first lady, her two daughters and her mother are inconveniencing “pretty much everyone,” despite having a 24-hour-butler and numerous other amenities that come with their $8,350-a-night suite.

The front desk clerk told the London newspaper that the first lady’s mother, Marian Robinson, has been “barking at the staff since she arrived” for their week-long tour that ends Wednesday.

“We can't wait for this to be over, to tell you the truth,” the clerk told the newspaper. “We entertain many important people here, but this has been, I think, very different.”

Beyond challenging the hotel staff, the Obamas’ stay also has reportedly created problems for other guests, who have limited use of the elevators and must go through security checkpoints.
