I thought she said the US was a "downright mean country", so she should have been happy about it, not horrified.
She is a perfect match for barry...both unmitigated bullshit artists.

Good morning,
Nine years ago, nearly three thousand Americans lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Like many Americans, I was shocked and horrified by the attacks on our country. But I was also inspired by the heroism and selflessness of so many of my fellow Americans in the wake of this tragedy.
From the brave men and women of Flight 93 who sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of others, to the first responders who rushed without hesitation to help those in need, to the young men and women who chose to join our Armed Forces following the attacks - these tragic events united Americans in a remarkable spirit of solidarity and compassion.
It’s that spirit of selflessness and service that inspired the first September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance last year. On this day all Americans can honor the brave men and women who lost and risked their lives by serving others in their community.
Tomorrow, I will be volunteering with Mission Serve, an initiative bringing together civilian and military communities through service and volunteerism. Working alongside active duty members of the military, wounded warriors, veterans, military spouses and students, I’ll help renovate a community center at a retirement community for veterans in McLean, Virginia.
You can join me in participating in the National Day of Service by finding a service opportunity in your area on Serve.gov:
Whether you help clean up a local park, participate in a food drive, or help out in a local soup kitchen or school, volunteering strengthens our communities and our country. The National Day of Service presents an opportunity to take time to make a difference in your area and make a commitment to serve your community throughout the year.
On the anniversary of this tragic day in our history, I hope you will join me in honoring all those who put the needs of others before their own by serving in your community.
To all Americans mourning the loss of their loved ones on September 11th, the President and I extend our sincerest condolences. Your courage and sacrifice is an inspiration to all Americans.
Sincerely,
Michelle Obama First Lady of the United States
PO, Moochelle. I have been volunteering my entire life without any lectures from likes of you.
dome= some
Regurgitation!
Being of service to others is the highest calling. While the Obamas and I agree on nearly nothing, I will join her on this say, serving others in rememberance of the brave souls who died in 9/11.
You aren't the only one. I hate lectures by people who make it their job to tell others what to do. I volunteer because I WANT TO not because some bitch tells me to.
Day of Service ? Give me a break, what a disgrace.
Sincerely
Michelle Obama First shower curtain model of the United States.
Pork should be served for the evening meal on this day. We can even cook it over a burning koran. In all fairness, this would be the right message to send. We were attacked by these people and thousands died on that day. Denying them any victory what so ever should be the goal. We should do this in remembrance of who the enemy is that did this.
National service and submission to Allah is the exact opposite of what we should be doing on 9/11.
“It Is All About the Jack Day”
Who in the Hell is this freak to order anything.
An arrogant elitist socialist pig.
LOL and ugly.
Van Jones was one of the green, environmental leaders and organizers last year for 9-11 national day of service.
Hey Michelle, Service This!
Go to hell, Michelle!
“Regurgitation!”
Yup. I don’t believe in “barf alerts”, I mean, why post a thread if I don’t want people to read it? But in this case I came close to violating my own principles. This is for reading in a vomitorium, if we were Romans and had them.
The entire concept and timing is disgusting.
This day of service was in a bill passed by Congress and signed by the Pres ent, that’s how.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it was the Edward M Kennedy Serve America Act, and we kicked it around when it was being proposed and voted on. Nobody then liked the National Day Of Service, and looking over this thread, people like it less now. Much less now.”
Yes the flying like a Lead Balloon thing.
Does she mean servitude?

The Soviets used to require volunteers (yes - require volunteers) to “donate” their Saturdays to various work projects without compensation.
Real volunteerism can be great. Dictated “volunteerism” is, well . . . you said it.
These pigs, and I’m going to use that term from now on, have no clue. They wouldn’t recognize good and decency if it hit them in the face. They need to RETURN to Hell where they belong. Evil pigs.
