First lady and family members reportedly cause headaches at Beijing hotel

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.

Why are the daughters only ever seen in dresses with hems a foot above their knees?

I especially like Granny's KMart Blue-Light-Special dress which no doubt doubles as a luncheon table cloth when back in the hotel room.

"I think this is the first time that I see that they all are dressed appropriately."

Appropriately? I don't think so. This looks like an "eloquent formal dress" occasion and Grandma's (sack???) dress is ABOVE her knees. There just should be some dignity involved with dress for formal state affairs.

But then maybe she has no choice in the matter and must dress like she is told.

How else will they get a rich bundler to show an interest in them and get them out of the house some day?

Here's a question......Why aren't politicians (first ‘ladies’ - it was hard to write that) made to stay at the embassies? We are already spending so much on our embassies and security, why have to spend more for these hotel stays and added security?

Maybe our embassy doesn’t want ‘em?

“Sorry, we’re booked. Like, for the next three years or so.”

something rich...
Can’t remember the phrase.

Of course, it’s not their own earned money that they’re spending.

The hired help at the Westin should suck it up. Don’t they know how honored they are by her presence? /s

I worked at a country club for 10 years and you could always tell old money from new money.

You can take the girl out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the girl.

Are all Democratic Party first lady’s hellish power-mad dictators?
