WASHINGTON (AP) — Michelle Obama is challenging some of America's top CEOs to "think outside the box" and hire more veterans...

Mrs. Obama said a campaign she launched two years ago with Jill Biden, the vice president's wife, has led businesses to hire or train more than 125,000 veterans and military spouses. But she said more needs to be done.

The first lady urged CEOs to "think outside the box" when they consider hiring veterans.

What a friggin' joke. How about getting economic conditions to the point where ANY hiring can be done, MO? How about hiring the BEST QUALIFIED person to do the job, MO? Oh, wait, I forgot...that concept is foreign to you and the clown.

The last thing this nation needs is advocacy of Affirmative Action for Veterans from a person who advanced in academia and the workplace via Affirmative Action.

No Affirmative Action for anyone, not even Veterans and corporate America will hire the best qualified candidates.

Never mind. She’s just still using our Military to prop herself up. Nothing to see here, really. Just move along.

Yeah, ain't she something? Hates this country . . . mocks the ceremonial folding of our beloved flag . . . drains this country of every dime she can with her 42 attendants and numerous vacations . . . has her idiot husband cut military spending . . . and now, oh, sniff sniff, wants companies to hire more veterans . . . to which jobs, the one's the sock puppet idiot sent overseas or the ones that had to fold up because of his handlers' idiot policies.

She gets me sick just to hear her or to have to read anything that this massively overweight mooch says or does.

A vet who was a MP applies for a job as a security guard, but can't have a firearm because he is a high risk.

Catch 22

If an applicant is a veteran (dangerous crazy terrorist), Black, homosexual, an illegal alien and a felon, will that get ‘em hiring preference x 5?

Now if there were only “shovel ready jobs”.

If she really cared about veterans, she’d make sure their votes got counted while they were in the service. That’s something she really could make happen, if she really cared about them.

In the meantime the DOJ advocates for discrimination against whitey (most vets are white) and the denial of their second amendment rights. Dear Reader has cut the health care for returning soldiers and they are suffering.

She’s so edgy and cool. Dumb as a post, though. Like her hollywierd pals.

Why listen to this loser? What has Michelle Obama ever achieved in her life? She’s ordinary, but happened to latch on to Barak whose career was saved miraculously.
