Tweeters noticed a hint of irony, considering FLOTUS’ husband’s administration is doing legal battle with nuns over Obamacare’s contraception mandate along with the IRS admitted targeting conservative groups as well as NSA surveillance practices:
Groups targeted by her husband's IRS silent MT "@thehill: M. Obama: Nations are "stronger/more prosperous" when people's opinions are heard"

Did @FLOTUS *actually* defend free speech abroad? Incredible. Conservative 501(c)(3)'s in the US currently unavailable for comment.

@DRUDGE_REPORT Be nice to see her husband endorse those freedoms here, rather than fighting them tooth & nail/ IRS/DOJ/every chance he gets!

Michelle Obama gave a speech to students saying internet freedom is a universal right. Might want to tell that to your husband, ma'am.

So far there have been no reports that FLOTUS has encouraged China to ban “bossy,” but her visit isn’t over yet.
