Did she REALLY volunteer or was it merely a photo op?

Whether it was for a photo op or not, her volunteering to help at a soup kitchen will inspire others to volunteer and maybe donate money.

While I am opposed to the government getting into the charity game, it amazes me at how many "Conservatives" despise private charity as if it were hurting them.

I guess she wasn’t selling the “Fashion Plate”.

I am impressed by her volunteering. Good for her

Self srrving photo-ops, nothing more than that. Real charitable work doesn't require a film crew.

Man, I can’t believe I had to wear sleeves today!

What no hair net? Does DC have a public health department?

Michelle: Why do I have to feed slop to these serfs?

Fashion Bug

If she keeps this up, and doesn’t open her mouth about policy, she could be an acceptable First Lady.

Yeah right, and all God's children will get a tacky plastic helicopter for Christmas.

> How does a homeless guy afford a cell phone?

Busking or begging can make you $100 per hour if you’re any good at it. All tax-free. That’s good money in anybody’s books.

(Yes, I have seen it done and was amazed...)

[tsmith130]

I've noticed she slouches...a lot.

[MrEdd]

Obama family thanking the press in their new circumstances I see...

[America2012]

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!! NEXT!

[dforest]

I don’t really want to be mean, but that ruffley shirt and plastic belt....well....just awful. It looks like that “My Lil’Pony” look.

Was this a photo op? Did she get no ways tihard and sweaty?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I"m laughing at your statement! I was watching TMZ the other night and that ridiculous looking stripper type white woman that IceCube or IceTea or whatever his name is (from Law and Order SVU) is married to was walking down the street in the freezing air lamenting that her fake boobs weren't more on display like usual.

But as she passed the photographer and her BIG booty was on camera he said something like, "I'm gay but even I can appreciate that booty"...... ;^)

[Tarpon]

Moooooo ....

[steveo]

Bread, $2 extra.

Did it not occur to her that this guy might not be deserving of free food if he can afford a cell phone? And that person in the orange should get a celery stick and nothing else.

[r9etb]

Who dresses that woman?!?

[dforest]

Hey smile homey, once I get done servin’ this swill, I am headin’ back for some lobstah and wagyu beef and martini’s.
