Laura Bush traveled the globe as First Lady more than only two U.S. presidents - W. and Clinton.

She's traveled to more countries than Pres. Obama has, and actually had more foreign visits in 2005 than Michelle Obama has in her entire time as First Lady.

I bring this up because the First Lady is about to embark on a trip to China. She's already receiving criticism from the hypocritical Republican Party. This will only be the third trip the First Lady has taken without the President. To put that into context, through 2013, Michelle Obama visited 25 countries. Through 2005, the first year of Bush's second term, Laura Bush visited 71 countries.

Remind the assholes of that when they complain about Michelle Obama's excess vacationing.

3. They will then just call her lazy.

None of it has to do with anything factual to them.

4. shoudln't the word more

really be "less"?

Otherwise it looks like Laura Bush traveled the globe more than W, and more than Clinton, but less than all the other Presidents from George Washington to Bush Sr.

5. Maybe? I don't think so, tho...

Laura Bush traveled the globe as First Lady less than only two U.S. presidents - W. and Clinton.

That makes it sound like only Bush and Clinton traveled less than Laura, no?

6. Those are facts. It's not about facts. It's about her beautiful brown skin.

8. But she's Republican and white, so the GOP thinks that's ok. Not so with Michelle Obama

To GOPers that's a different sort of First Lady. According to GOPers, Michelle shouldn't be traveling at all.
