Fox News’ Brit Hume thinks he’s found some clues as to why the press weren’t invited to tag along on Michelle Obama’s trip to China this week with her mother and two daughters. According to the U.K. Daily Mail:
Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced ‘pretty much everyone’ and made the hotel staff ‘fed up,’ a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline.
…
… the Obamas’ stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obama’s mother Marian Robinson has been ‘barking at the staff since she arrived.’

@brithume #LetThemEatCake Mentality is pervasive among the liberal elitist who preach one thing but do not apply those rules themselves.

@brithume Will really be curious to see if any media outlet will cover the cost of this, another boondoggle Obama trip, in the coming days.

.@brithume It's indeed difficult enough to justify taxpayers funding the "non political" vacay but to fund the nonelected ma-in-law?

@brithume @Talkmaster this is such a Spring Break trip cloaked as soft diplomacy.

No. “@iloanya1: why are you right wingers always obsessed with what this woman does..why ? could it be cause she's of a different color ?”
