UPDATE: As has been pointed out elsewhere, Michelle Obama did do some campaigning this week, in Indiana and Ohio. How does that fit in with the campaign’s explanation that she was too busy to attend the 9/11 ceremony because this was Sasha and Malia’s first week of school? I asked the campaign and will get back to you when and if it responds.”

OOOO, goody.
Good. This story should have legs.
I AM PISSED. How can we elect a first lady who is not fit to show her face at ground zero?
UPDATE 2: Here's the fuller explanation of everything. Michelle Obama's itinerary is scheduled well in advance to juggle childcare responsibilities and campaign duties, as she is the primary caregiver for the Obamas’ young daughters. She regularly only travels two to three days a week with only one overnight away every so often from home.
What a crock of horse feces. Michelle knew 9/11 was coming up, when the initerary was planned, they couldn't just circle Sept 11th or something and cancelled any other events?
