Next First Lady's Message to Families
Military.com ^ | January 17, 2009 | Michelle Obama

Posted on 01/19/2009 6:56:20 AM PST by SERKIT

On Tuesday, as people from all walks of life come together in common purpose to begin the work of renewing America's promise, my daughters and I will stand beside my husband as he takes the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States.

People have asked me how I'll feel at that moment. As a wife, I'll be thinking about how proud I am of my husband and how I believe so deeply that he will be an extraordinary president. As a mother, I'll be bursting with pride at the thought of my girls now being able to envision endless choices for themselves and the joy it will be to watch them grow up in the White House. And as a daughter, I'll be profoundly grateful to my parents, knowing that I am here only because of their lifetime of faith and hard work.

They're my proof that the American promise endures...

...snip...

On Tuesday night, my husband and I will tuck in our daughters like we always do. Their bedrooms will be different, their home unfamiliar. But they will drift off to sleep protected by that same sacrifice that has kept all of our families safe and safeguarded our freedom for generations — the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and their families.

For that, we could not be more grateful — or more proud.

she hasn’t fooled the old foolers, has she?

I think she’ll soon be looking for another pet cause

Oh, and don’t forget to send us lots of money so we can indulge ourselves in caviar and lobsters in the middle of the afternoon. And never mind that you have to feed your children macarone and cheese from the box because you gave us part of your grocery money.

Come on, you silly people. You know we need more money. Send $20 for a family photo of us at the White House. Send, send, send, send. We need your money so we can live the life you expect us to live.

“I just love being rich,” she’s really thinking. “Too bad poor folks haven’t figured out how to get where we got.”

And then, one of these days, I’d really like to know why her Illinois law license was court-ordered suspended. What was that all about? Anybody know?

Mr. and Mrs. Transparency Obama don’t want you to know anything about their past. Because if you did, you’d never have voted for them in the firt place.

It would have been more sincere had she apologized for how horribly she and Mr. Wonderful have treated our troops and their CIC over the last 6 years.

If you subject yourself to the ‘coronation’ and all its hoopla, you will puke.
DRINK, my friend. Get blasted, put on your favorite movies and ignore the thing entirely.
One thing to look forward to- Wednesday will be ‘MIRACLE DAY’.
The sick will stream out of hospitals, all evil and sin will be banished. All will be made new and perfect, birdies will sing and flowers will bloom in the desert. Money will fall from the sky.
I’ll be outside- waiting- I’d BETTER get my miracles!

Anyone count the number of “I” “me” and “my’s” in this piece of tripe?

A morning barf for sure. What on earth did her parents hard work have to do with her marrying a socialist?

I can’t help but wonder what the two of them had to say to one another last night as they went to sleep in the Blair House across the street from the WH. Yuck!

It’s better than winning the lottery!

I heard this witch say that her daughters must clear the table, load the dishwasher, and get themselves to bed.

Suddenly she is pretending she tucks them in?

Will the lies never stop? And by the way, Omarosa, they are OUR daughters, not MY daughters.

As for your husband’s accomplishments? Name one beside wanting to deny medical attention to a baby born of an attempted abortion.

You are representative of the selfish sinful life many people choose. Change your ways before you meet your Lord, that is if you believe in a power higher than yourself.

This paragraph was pretty strange:

“All of us can learn a fundamental lesson from our military families: You don’t need to wear a uniform to serve your country. We all have something to contribute to the life of this nation.”

WTH is that suppose to mean? Very strange. Was just watching a clip on Fox showing this thug with a do-rag on his head and a fat cigar(blunt) hanging from his lips, waiting on Obama to give some speech about his ‘National Service’ plan. I guess that is the new service and uniform they have in mind.

God Save Our Republic!

It was a smack in their faces, imo.

I guess we're all suppose to wait for further instructions from Obama to find out what services he demands from us.

They are going to gut the military budget. All of the money is going to schools, bridges and programs to educate people about homelessness and AIDS. Put your money where your mouth is.
