Mooch and her mother making no friends among the Chinese proletariat serving them

The imperial first lady and her mother reportedly are alienating hotel staff in Beijing. It is bad enough that taxpayers are forced to foot the multimillion dollar bill for a spring break adventure in China enabling Michelle Obama to bring her empress dowager mother, daughters and an entourage of 70 for sightseeing and fun on only the thinnest pretext of doing any public business, and with very limited press scrutiny allowed. But according to a report in the UK Daily Mail, Michelle’s mother is behaving badly, so badly that hotel workers are spilling the beans to the foreign press not allowed to travel with the Obamas, but nonetheless poking into what’s really going on.

Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced 'pretty much everyone' and made the hotel staff 'fed up,' a well-placed hotelstaffer has told MailOnline.

The sumptuous pad at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel – its website calls the room 'an oasis of comfort – is a 3,400-square-foot masterpiece including a private steam room, 'corner sofas with silk pillows,' and in-room dining for six. 

But the Obamas' stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obama's mother Marian Robinson has been 'barking at the staff since she arrived.'

Check out the looks on the faces of the two Obama girls in the pictures provided. They do not appear especially grateful for the taxpayers’ largess they are luxuriating in.

As for Mrs. Robinson’s behavior, well Michelle got her personality from someone, didn’t she?
