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.

You are so right!

The arrogance of both of them is simply stunning!

It’s hard to pay for dance lessons for the kids on only $250,000 a year?

The vast majority of responses to that article sound like Free Republic with a few DU trolls thrown in.

About right in my experience with the military.

“I will be fortunate if I don’t puke constantly for the next 72 hours.”

I think I will have constant nausea for the next 4 years!

And one of her other letters - soliciting funds for her husband by promising to defend that “health procedure” of sticking scissors into the heads of fully formed babies (after turning perfectly normal pregnancies into breach births) in order to suck out their little brains!!! Not just liars, but very sick people here!

Well she got one thing right.....

Without our military men and women, she would not be able to even kiss her girls good night. But that’s about all I can say that’s good.

My family doesn’t need that woman to send them any “message.” Every one of my 6 grown children and their spouses are better Americans, better people, and better parents than this woman. She should just shut up.

They always have a dig, or give themselves away. The comment about now her kids can dream of anything (since Obama won), and the comment about not needing to wear a uniform to contribute to the country (in a letter to military families). These two and their people can’t even to manage to write a simple statement without digs and slights.

Thanks!

I knew I had seen that before. I had a customer in the early 90’s called Anarchic. They sold clothing, posters, jewelry, stuff, etc.
