Michelle Obama's decision to visit China without reporters is a mistake, signals weakness or fear of coverage http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/19/us/politics/politics-wont-be-on-first-ladys-china-itinerary-aides-say.html?hp …

    @NickKristof If she really is weak and the coverage would be bad, maybe it's not a mistake. @IraStoll

      @NickKristof that is hype. Sometimes kids come first.

      @im2b @NickKristof so the answer is to let the white house control the narrative? How many Chinese kids will miss work because of her visit?

      @NickKristof If it's official business, reporters should go. If it's not official, the Obamas should pay for the trip themselves.

      @NickKristof Perhaps she didn't want her every move, every expression, every gesture, every word analyzed & scrutinized for "overtones".

    @NickKristof @IraStoll Maybe/. But more likely it's just not a big deal.

    @NickKristof @dandrezner Perhaps traveling without reporters is a preemptive move against another Bloomberg/Cameron fiasco. Swell strategy.

    @NickKristof @slone I read that she is secretly looking for a school in China for the girls to attend next year. True or false? Who knows.
