President Obama’s peripatetic wife, Michelle Obama, is off
on a seven day cultural-exchange trip to China with her two children and mother …
see: New York Times Story.
This is just a few short days after returning from a long-weekend family vacation in
Key Largo, Florida (this time with Barack) and two months after an extended five weeks of
sun and fun in Hawaii … two weeks of it by her lonesome.
This is, of course, is just another plutocratic expense that
these many family junkets are costing the American taxpayer. But then she did
just suffer through the trauma of losing the White House pastry chef … who
refused to omit butter, sugar, milk and flour from his postprandial
creations. So a few extra million federal dollars is clearly justifiable solace.
I think that, rather than report when our First Lady is gone from the White House, it would be a lot simpler if our national media
just told us when, on those rare occasion, she was so ensconced.
Afterward: Its been pointed out that I forgot that Michelle, et alia spent the long Presidents' Day weekend on the slopes in Aspen. Oops, it does seem like almost two months in Washington between Hawaii and Key Largo was too large a burden for our ever-entitled First Lady to endure.

She will be more effective than John Kerry and cheaper too.
