Probably made up story. I doubt there is any basis in fact, too silly to really fact check.
We have crucial interests throughout the world, and I have no problem with the First Couple traveling throughout the world so as not to give the impression of snootiness. It shows respect and curiosity for the nations we must deal with.
They are the First Family in the US, they need to show some class.
So you take the article at face value then?

Ok, so a 77 year old lady is being grumpy, and the Chinese have set up security check-points.
But this then reaches to the heart of the matter, people who weren't rich shouldn't become president, should they? That's the basis for posting stories like this, for the reason Obama is criticised for being a "community organiser" and having no experience, because he doesn't come from a rich corporate background. Elitism is alive and well. :lol:

A hotel room that costs 8 grand a night has snooty written all over it.
Then you didn't google hard enough. Laura wins by a magnitude of 294%.

How many of Laura Bush's trips abroad where defined as "personal trip"? And on how many of them did she take her mother?
If they want to not come off as snooty, they should fly commercial and stay at the Ramada.

3 The Presidential Suite, Waldorf Astoria, New York City
Waldorf Astoria
Price: Starts at $10,000 per night
The Layout: It’s like staying in a small wing of the Smithsonian. There’s the small, wooden rocking chair given as a gift by John F. Kennedy, between the fireplace and Eisenhower’s desk. In the bedroom—modest in size and somber in décor—you can draft a speech at General MacArthur’s desk, which dates back to the years when he lived at the Waldorf with his wife. Strangely, the windows, that look out onto unremarkable midtown scenes, are not state-of-the-art bullet-proof. The suite contains four bedrooms total, each with a separate key.
Bragging Rights: There are so-called presidential suites all over the globe, but this is the only one where every US president since Herbert Hoover has spent the night.
You would too, if it were about a Conservative.
I don't know. I think you should research them and get back and let us know.
I know.
She didn't take personal trips abroad. And she never took her mother.
Nobody gave a rat's ass about First Family accomodations until Obama took office. Nobody.
I don't take your word for it.
No, they just complained about him going to his ranch in Crawford. Endlessly. Daily.
And they are sure whining enough now about the cost of the Bush family travel.
Oh. That's too bad. I guess you'll have to Google it for yourself. It's quite easy to find the information.
Probably because he was AT his ranch in Crawford. Endlessly. Daily.
Wait, pointing out what the Bush costs were when righties scream up and down about Obama's constitutes "whining"? Here I thought it meant "pointing out right wing bull**** for what it is."
No. You think the difference is there and that it's important, you fetch.
Sure. It's a kiddy game. "Well SHE did it too! Jenna and Barbara went on spring break vacations!" I've seen more garbage pouring from Liberal fingers about the trips the Bush family took in the last 2 days than I saw the entire 8 years Bush was in office.
He worked from his ranch. People do that, you know. Unless of course you think Bush told everyone "I'm on vacation, turn on my out-of-office attendant and tell the country to take care of itself while I sleep in and watch soap operas." I mean, I know that's what Michael Moore wants you to believe and all that. I guess the rest of us are just smarter than that.
Of course he worked from his ranch. Just like every vacation Obama takes is a working vacation. What on earth is your point?
And yes, you're seeing stuff about Bush travel because conservatives make asinine threads like this one whining about Obama travel. I don't get why this is so hard for you to comprehend.
