Her handlers musta had a devil of a time talking her into this one.
MoBama: Kids, this is where we free slaves tried to beat back the racist crackers.
Wonder if she stayed at the KOA campground and walked the fields?
It was on ‘her own personal time’?
She’s not a gubmt employee.
So what other kind of time does she have?
The handlers are trying to make the Obamas appealing to the returning warriors. It won’t work. Michelle does NOT appreciate Gettysburg.
Fine by me. But it's the liberal press who slobber all over them.
Thats fine, but I suspect this is really an attempt at damage control after all the criticism she has received for all the Partay vacations.
Hasn’t school satrted in Washington yet?
Oh and by the way I could care less what this “First time I have been proud of my country” lady she should spend more time on her tread mill food cop
If Mr. Kirby is respecting their privacy, why did he issue a press release?
What the heck does that mean? It is not like she has a real JOB. What were they trying to convey? Why emphasis on her own personal time? If they had said DIME, that would have made sense. I guess the were just trying to get around anyone asking..."what, another vacation?" But who would have said that about a day's trip to...any place? Just a real strange statement. And I am sure all the privacy was because she did not want to be photographed with all the weight gain from vacation fare she has been gobbling down. Or for America to see her at yet another ice cream shop.
This time of year is very busy at Gettysburg. They must have had a heck of a time giving her privacy there. It is not an easy place to navigate if streets and locations are closed off because some one wants to view areas privately.
I just hope, as she walked the grounds where so many shed their blood and died for the "cause"...so many white soldiers...that she gave thanks and was proud of her country.
BTW Gettysburg is a beautiful drive from DC through lovely countryside, and a little less than two hours away, even closer if they left from Camp David (Of course, I don't know if they were there or at the WH, just mentioning it for those who don't know the area). But, I wonder how many attendants she had to take along with her, and how many vehicles accompanied her tour. These people just don't seem to want to spend much time around Dad.
Whats a matter Moochelle? Why did you decide to go slumming?
Shouldn’t your kids be in school?
Ok, now kids, write up that report on that great battle..and define the importance of Picket’s Charge.
On her own personal time???? What other time does she have???
Timing was great. Two hours before lunch time.
I mean even the slaves realized it, and were Republicans for 100 years.
“Mrs. Obama was reportedly here for two hours, around lunch time.”
Let’s EAT!
You can’t even appreciate one-eighth of the National cemetary at Gettysburg in 2 hours. This is laughable.
