Not sure how much this vacation for Michele and the girls is going to cost the US taxpayers, but apparently we won't know what they do, who they see, or what sights they visit because they have banned the US Taxpayers, who are footing the bill for the trip, from seeing its details in news reports.

No interviews, please! Michelle Obama's China trip questioned as she won't take Q&A with reporters and only offers 2 true 'open press' events (out of 22 on her calendar)
The first lady is taking her mother and daughters to three Chinese cities on a 'people-to-people exchange' trip at taxpayer expense
Only 2 out of 22 events on her calendar will give reporters the chance to hear her speak and do any real reporting – but without interviewing her
No reporters are allowed to travel with the first lady on her government aircraft
The White House is declining to say how much the week-long excursion will cost
Mrs. Obama will appear for photo-ops and public events that are 'pooled press' – just one reporter or photographer noting her comings and goings
