I doubt Michael Obama was invited. Michele Obama did not attend: And yes, CNN reported on it: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/06/diplomatic-snub-first-lady-skipping-china-summit/ Perhaps, just like President Trump, you would avoid embarrassing yourself if you did a little more research before you make false claims against CNN and the media.
The media reported the crowd size of a major event, as they would with any other large gathering in the history of the world. Trump lied and said there was upwards of 1.5 million attendees. When the president lies so blatantly, the media reports on it.
That isn't making an issue of it. There is a difference. There was a comment. Once Trump started lying about it, it became an issue. There was this article in 2009 about inauguration crowd size. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/21/AR2009012103884.html It is completely normal to comment about the crowd size. That doesn't mean one side is making an issue of it. The right wasn't making an issue of it when they talked about the crowd size in that article. The left wasn't either. It was simply an article about which neither side made an issue. In 2016. There was an initial comment about it, and Trump then made an issue out of it. While making the issue he and his team told several outright lies. So more attention was paid to the issue.
So lets review: you claimed CNN lied when they reported that Mrs. Trump didn't accompany Mrs. Abe on official events in Washington DC(posting photos from other parts of the PM and Mrs. Abe's visit to the US as proof). I posted news reports and even an official release from the Washington DC police department that proved Mrs. Abe attended two events unaccompanied by Mrs. Trump, thus substantiating CNN's reporting and disproving your false accusation. So you scramble to find an instance when "Michael" Obama didn't accompany President Obama to a US-Sino Summit and again, falsely accuse CNN for not reporting on it. I posted a link to the article from CNN (and also pointed out why she didn't attend) and again, disproved yet another false statement by you. And now, you attempt to worm out? Very Trump-like... Shameful!
And the hits just keep coming... White House dismisses 6 over failed background checks By Tara Palmeri 02/16/17 05:12 PM EST Several White House staffers were dismissed Thursday morning after failing FBI background checks, according to sources familiar with the matter. Some of the aides were "walked out of the building by security" on Wednesday after not passing the SF86, a Questionnaire for National Security Positions for security clearance. Among those who won't be working at the White House was President Donald Trump’s director of scheduling, Caroline Wiles, the daughter of Susan Wiles, Trump’s Florida campaign director and former campaign manager for Governor Rick Scott. Wiles, who resigned Friday before the background check was completed, was appointed deputy assistant secretary before the inauguration in January. Two sources close to Wiles said she will get another job in Treasury. She's among others who failed to pass the intensive background check, which includes questions on the applicant's credit score, substance use and other personal subjects. A White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment. Marc Caputo contributed.
How long ago was that RL? For real man--it was news and trump was claiming otherwise so he was asked. Since then, he's brought it up repeatedly on his own accord.
No idea, I'm sure it happens with some regularity but I think it speaks to the overall lack of vetting we have seen by many of our so called president's selections.
