WASHINGTON--Michelle Obama, the wife of the U.S. president, will not be joining him on his visit to Japan starting Friday.
Instead, she is giving priority to her duties as a mother.
The couple's daughters Malia and Sasha are sixth- and third-graders, respectively, at a private school in Washington, D.C. They have classes during the president's week-long tour of Asia.
The girls, along with their mother, joined President Barack Obama on part of his tour of Europe and Turkey between the end of March and April, as well as trips to Europe, Russia and Africa in July, while on school vacation.
The president will visit Singapore, China and South Korea after leaving Japan on Saturday.(IHT/Asahi: November 13,2009)

No my belief is that she couldn’t get a second jet. Someone here once posted that Muslims in power do not let their wives travel in the same plane.

At a glance, I’d say she’s not exactly into seaweed and sushi and sake.

In all of the pictures I’ve seen of these two in the past few months, they do not look very happy. Something is not right between the two of them.
