The Obama ladies are in the house — the house of China, that is.
First lady Michelle Obama, her two daughters, Malia and Sasha, and her mother touched down Thursday in China for what’s being touted as a weeklong feel-good tourist event, amid increasing murmurs back home about U.S. taxpayers having to foot the bill.
Mrs. Obama is supposed to use her visit for soft diplomacy only, and shy from the more controversial topics that plague U.S.-China relations, namely human rights and economics. No reporters accompanied the family on the trip.
“The nature of her visit is really quite different,” deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters ahead of the trip. “What the first lady really brings is the power of her own story, the power of American values.”

12:54 Agreed. I may add the "value" of having THEIR PERSONAL FILES SEALED FOR 6 YEARS FROM PUBLIC, WHILE SPYING ON EVERYONE ELSE - AND STILL BE IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE. And why are nor reporters allowed on this trip? Geez, they might REPORT ABOUT SOMETHING? I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY OF MANKIND? OH, MAYBE THE MOST TRANSPARENTLY CROOKED, YES. How many people are in Moochelle's "Entourage? I bet there are more than would fit in the largest Chinese Buffet and you can bet they will be Dinning & Wining in the most expensive places. Hey, IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU CAN PARTY ON TAXPAYERS DIME
Chinese people are not used to really large women.They're in for a treat.
Ladies??? Surely you use this term in jest!
