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...

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.

I’m going to be deathly ill until they are out of the White (or Black) House.
Excuse me while I barf and toss some cookies.
I read it as an unconscious excuse for why her husband has never served our country or accomplished a darn thing, other than run for office and undermine the pinnings of our republic and constitution.
Amen!
Puking is the body's natural way to rid itself of ingested poison.
You've GOT to be kidding me. This Obamapalooza is nauseating... bet there was no "inauguration festivity update" for both of GWB's terms.
I did my part and changed the channel at that time. :-)
My only hope is that there are millions out there that find this as puke inducing as we do.
For me it's going to be for the next 4 years--GOD forbid 8.
It demonstrates to the reader the writers locus and very often receives a muted or silent response.
What is that symbol next to her hairdo? I have seen it before but don’t recall what it means.
Thanks.
Exactly. That’s why I say it was a smack in their faces. She’s trying to equate hers and her fraud of a husband’s “sacrifice” and “service” with theirs.
The Bama’s have the world at their feet, and the world will get first hand observation as to how pure their claim to fame really is....
Did she mention not punishing her girls with a pregnancy?
**DRINK, my friend. Get blasted, put on your favorite movies and ignore the thing entirely.**
Wouldn’t it be wiser to pray for deliverance from this?
Stop in at any Catholic Church and attend daily Mass.
not pretty like Laura Bush. Looks overweight.
I don't know - I got that graphic here:
