Michelle Obama, wife of U.S. President Barack Obama, plans to make her first visit to Japan as first lady in mid-March, mostly for private purposes, sources familiar with bilateral relations said Sunday.
Michelle Obama plans to take part in a Tokyo symposium to be also attended by U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy, along with other events. She is also considering visiting Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital, the sources said.
The U.S. president visited Japan in April last year as a state guest but Michelle Obama did not accompany him due to school programs for their daughters Malia and Sasha. The daughters may travel to Japan with their mother this time, the sources said.
Michelle Obama is likely to meet with Akie Abe, wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, among others during her stay in Japan, but her visit will "have no particular political purposes," one of the sources said.
Michelle Obama may also visit Southeast Asian countries on the trip, they said.
Michelle Obama, a lawyer, has engaged in various activities including delivering lectures on education and human rights as well as women's empowerment.
Fake foreign policy cred for her Senate run?
Oh. Didn’t know there was a country she hadn’t visited yet.
Another free vacation for the mooch, the kids and grandma and all mooch's servants at taxpayers expense.
Here’s an artist’s rendition of her on the Tokyo beach:
/cue Godzilla
At least they have some time to try to fortify the island so she doesn’t tip it over.
Gonna go to Japan and try to convert them all the Islam....or maybe some community organizing??? Or some diet conversion from 2000 years of history -— more wasted taxpayer money.
Gargantua heads to Japan. Hope she doesn’t tip the island over.
i am surprised that she has not been to Japan yet. It is one of the most expensive countries to visit. She should be able to spend at least a $100 million taxpayer dollars.
Maybe we can get Raymund Burr back on the mike as The Big Mooch invades the islands!!
On the tax payers dime I bet.
I thought something happened with that ?
They need to release Godzilla to defend Japan
Nope. She’s going to be the dem candidate when Hillary drops out.
It sounds bizarre.
But in Feb 2007, who would have thought a guy from Kenya named Hussein would be POTUS for two terms.
I personally believe Axlegrease and Plouffy could elect Charles Manson as POTUS if they tried.
A DISBARRED lawyer
Will she apologize for our aggression at Okinawa and apologize for Hiroshima?
The Wookiee continues her World Tax Payer Funded Tour
Shame on you. Godzilla doesn’t deserve that.
