China Has Enough Yeti Sightings

Why are we spending millions- with an m- to send Michelle Obama, her two daughters and her free loading mother to China?  Do they possess some here to for unknown power?  Will they be there for anything that could possible benefit out nation?  My guess is no.
I have never really understood the msm and their ability to turn the blind eye toward whatever the Obamas are up to in a given week.  Why are we sending his wife to China is the first question that I have.  Is there anything that she can do that will be useful to the cause of the United States of America?  I mean, if they have worked out a plan that will actually keep her freeloading butt over there, then I am all for it. Otherwise.....
Can you imagine the outcry if President Bush had had his Mother-in-law on the tab the entire time he was living in the Whitehouse?  The msm would have had a running tally on every single nickel that it would have cost, I guarantee it.  So instead, we have not a peep form them, not a whisper, not one sound.
Why is she living there? Who is paying for it, besides us foolish taxpayers?  Was she living with them before he stole into the oval office?  Or did she see an excellent opportunity to live it up once her "son-in-law" was at a better address?
I did a little math and here are the numbers that I came up with:

29 hours to China (roundtrip from DC to Bejing) = $174,000 x 2 for security detail
security detail to guard them                                = $2,635,000
lodging                                                                = $3,685,000
meals                                                                  =  $17,342,000

                                                                               $ 24,010,000

my estimations are using what the average number of security detail would be, the average cost of a regular meal ( and we all know the yeti only wants reduced calories when it is our children being fed ) and regular rooms for everyone.
Why in the world are we spending 24 million dollars to give those freeloading Obamas another wonderful vacation?
If there was one valid reason for this trip-other than hey Barrack- why don't we go to China on the taxpayer dime?- I could understand the need for this.  But all we have is a greedy pack of moochers who are determined to siphon every freebie possible in the next two years.  Think about it, you'll thank me later.
