Michelle Obama Shares How We Can All Give Back
Redbook Magazine ^ | October 7, 2014 | Sandy Fernandez

Posted on 12/31/2014 10:28:52 AM PST by NEMDF

When REDBOOK went to Washington recently to meet with Michelle Obama, there wasn't a dry eye in the White House. We were there on a mission, bringing along five female veterans with a message for the First Lady. They sat down with Michelle Obama to tell her what they—and thousands of other women—have experienced since leaving the military: a chronic, shocking level of unemployment. Despite their dedication to the United States, their experience, and their commitment to find work, they have struggled mightily to gain a foothold in the civilian world. Michelle Obama leaned in, held their hands, and listened.

That video was shown on FOX this week and it was current. She was in an ugly shirtwaist dress and she did not look like that photo on Redbook.

Remember a few years back how there were photos of Katie Couric making her look slimmer and younger than she is?

I think that was done here.

Yes but I can’t take credit for it.
I need to credit the author but have forgotten the FReeper’s name.

That is what it looked like to me. I thought that when she stayed behind last year, with Oprah...who also went through this type of transformation. Interesting. I wonder if Oprah kept it off, as I haven’t see her lately.

That head was photoshopped onto that body. It was poorly done, at that, as the proportions are extremely out of whack.

Yes!

My husband does graphics in the advertising world, and many a time he has transplanted heads when photos of the models are BAD.

They also increased the size of her head to make her body seem smaller.

If anyone knows about having “back” it’s Michele,
and I’m sure she would like to get rid of some of it.

Personally, I hate the ubiquitous expression “giving back” It used to be called “giving”. But now with “giving back” there seems to be an annoying self-congratulatory aspect to the act of giving. Instead of simply and quietly giving to whatever charity or cause, it is now trumpeted that you “gave back”. At the same time, giving back implies that you received something in the first place, as in “You won life’s lottery”. So now it is incumbent on you to “give back”. You owe it. You got something you didn’t deserve in the first place. Never mind what you did to get what you have gotten. It is like Obama saying, “you didn’t build that business”. Don’t get me wrong. I believe that giving is a good thing. It is a blessing for everyone to participate in, not just those who have attained wealth and who are able to give. In the Bible, Jesus praised the poor widow, not for giving back but for her giving spirit and generosity. He also criticized the practice of publicly calling attention to what we have given. It should be done quietly without calling attention to it - the opposite of what Zero’s wife is doing. And by the way, it seems to me that so many of those who use the term “giving back” in reality do the least actual giving. Every tax season we see this, especially with Democrat politicians. They generally only give to themselves or give to their friends who will give the money back in donations or lobbying.

OMG, that is some MAJOR photoshopping and lipo. It looks nothing like her. If only you taxpayers would make me look 17 again.

“give back” implies that I took something.

It's all the rage for those people to have a bobblehead like Al Sharpton these days.

I plan on borrowing a few beers this evening and I will also be giving them back a little at a time as the night wears on... Maybe I’ll send a sample to Ms. Obama while I’m at it.

The “Worst Lady” once again proves why she has captured that title for all time. What a complete racist, angry putz who needs to give back the money to the hospital in Chicago where she was paid $300,000 to move poor people away to other hospitals.
