Michelle Obama absent from 9/11 ceremony to be home with girls for 1st week of school. But...
WSBT ^

Posted on 09/11/2008 11:33:54 PM PDT by IDRATHERNOT

Conspiciously absent from September 11th memorial service, the Obama campaign claimed Michelle Obama was home with her children for the 1st week of school. However, on Sep. 10th, she spent most of the day at a "Working Mothers" roundtable in Fishers, Indiana (a 3.5 hour drive from Chicago).
FISHERS, Ind. — More evidence Indiana is in play this presidential election year: the Obama campaign focused on the state again Wednesday. This time it was Michelle Obama, right in the heart of Republican territory.

You have got to be kidding. Do you really think the Obama’s would put their children in public schools? Those are for the little folk.

I saw some of her speech to that group. She looked as tho she was suffering a king sized or is it queen sized hangover.

Dishevelled, reading from notes and stumbling over her words. Hair a mess too.

Apparently staying home, watching Maury, and eating Doritos was more important for the Husseins. Butt-rack was only out because he absolutely had to.

Have you ever noticed how wooden Obama becomes when talking about America, and how he always distances himself? It's never "we", "us", or "our country". It's always "the country" or "it" with him, and he stammers badly.

That is not a good picture of Michelle. But to be fair, it’s the worst I’ve seen. She really is a beautiful woman. But our Cindy and Sarah do just fine in contrast.

Come 11/4, Obama is D.O.A. And this clown & his wife can go back to Chi-town and continue laying their line of racist anti-American Socialist BS on those folks back there.

The point was that she didn’t attend 9/11 activities allegedly because she wanted to be home with the kids for their first week of school. That would be fine had she been home.

But the hypocrisy of this position is illustrated by the fact that she spent the entire day before (while the kids were ostensibly still enjoying their first week of school) at a forum and not with the kids.

Doesn’t school start the day after labor day, anyway?

The point was not to question the whereabouts of the spouses of either VP candidate (nothing on Mrs. Biden, either) but to point out the Obamas’ lie.

All that and well on her way to becoming the black Martha Mitchell after the election.

Oh, please, please tell us that this means that Michelle will not be at any more televised Barack O appearances from now until November because she has to stay at home with her daughters!!! Please say that is what is going to happen so we don't have to see her, or listen to her remarks against America. Please keep her at home, in the kitchen.

And, if Michelle thinks one day at home with her girls is more important than honoring the memory of those who died on 9/11 and the heros who tried to save them...then she is not prepared for the service to this country she will have to give as First Lady. In that position, she will be called upon to be plenty of places other than with her daughters after school.

I know, she has often emphasized that her daughters come first. For this exact reason - being able to pick and chose who she wants to honor - she has stated that for her, family is most important. She planned that so she will have that excuse in the future. Now she is using that excuse.

Well, excuse me, your highness, but your duties call....if you don't want your duties, you must give up your self-imposed throne!

Michelle was very generously given a heads up by Joe Lieberman that her speech blaming the Jews for 9/11 probably wouldn't be well received at the memorial service.

The fact that Michelle wasn’t with Barack at the WTC and the memorial services yesterday is a HUGE gaff and will come back to haunt them between now and November. It wasn’t appropriate to make a big deal out of it yesterday, but “yesterday” is yesterday.

We’re talking about the 2 presidential candidates here.

It involves “patriotism”.

This is a boo boo of gigantic proportions - especially in light of the angry, negative remarks Michelle has already made regarding America.

I agree. I saw an article on recipes that Presidents (or wanna be Presidents) wives use and love and the one she sent in was one her aunt cooked. I guess she is too busy to cook for her family. I am guessing they have a cook.

She wasn’t there because the Obama campaign’s internals indicate that the public doesn’t like her.

She wasn’t there because the Obama campaign is focused on Obama as “Presidential”. Who the heck wants Michelle Obama as First Lady?

The first thing my wife said when watching the receiving line at Ground Zero was, "Where's Obama's wife?" It was especially obvious because Cindy McCain was there with her husband. Hussein stuck out like an odd-man-out sore thumb.

I'll bet a lot of others noticed, too. When the word slowly gets out she was campaigning this week it will look like what it is - a "diss" on the remembrance of 9/11.

This woman isn't fit to be First Lady just like her husband isn't fit to be President!

They shrewdly avoided putting her into a situation where TV viewers would compare her with Cindy McCain. It doesn't take Nostradamus to predict which woman would appear more first- at all lady-like to the average American.
