Her vacation in Spain.. Placer ¿y política? en las vacaciones de Michelle Obama en la Costa del Sol
August 2010: Politics part of First Lady Michelle Obama's trip to Spain? Yes apparently so.
Translated text.
"Several Arab royal houses also spend their summers in Marbella for years. So, there will be a meeting between Michelle Obama and Prince Salman bin Abdelaziz, governor of Riyadh and brother of the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, while another meeting of the first lady with the owner of Málaga CF, billionaire businessman, son he shuffles Qatar's Interior Minister and member of the Qatari royal family, Abdullah Al Thani."
Was any of this about Madame Blank Check reported by U.S. MSM employees?
Who's she meeting in Red China and what might she be carrying?
(A caller to a talk show named her after First Lady Madame Chiang Kai-shek the wife of President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek our W.W.II ally against Imperial Japan. Though I do not think that Madame Chiang Kai-shek sped through tens of millions of public dollars for her own personal benefit.)
Google translate it.
She goes to China just as China is forming an alliance with Russia against America.
I have read so many times she is only over there to get her kids into some kind of global school, the current fad, because she was rejected the first time due to not being able to prove who her husband actually is.
That actually makes sense. Their kids would necessarily be indoctrinated as the parents. Assuming that the Parents could be Russian/Chinese communist agents, the children would have to be trained properly.
I would not mind though if they defected to China..
