After looking at the pictures I have yet to see any where the children actually look happy at their VIP status and multimillion Dollar vacations. They seem permanently ‘put out’.

This isn’t just directed to the President’s daughters but quite a few young girls that dress inappropriately for the occasion at hand. Their skirts were terribly short and the eldest daughter had an exposed midriff in several photos. They just looked too informal for a diplomatic visit.

Reports of a 5.2 temblor near Peking. Maybe it's from fracking, though.
