In keeping with President-elect Barack Obama's call for a national day of community service on Monday, the eve of his inauguration, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, the wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden, traveled to RFK Stadium in Washington to help assemble the care packages.

Obama daughters Malia and Sasha also helped out.

I don't know that I'd want to be a recipient of that set of packages.

My guess is none. My question is what did she donate to the packages?

Need to get my glasses, thought it said RESEMBLES a care package, not ASSEMBLES.

That was purely rhetorical. If she ever did send things to the troops, my guess is the package was unmarked and it was intercepted by Postal autorities before it reached its final destination.

Wow, isn't she wonderful!!!!

No way is she doing this because she loves our military, it is all hype to change her image.

Oh, I didn’t realize Zero wanted us to do community service today. I’m glad I’d planned to be a complete slug all day.

Look who reported the story - Seattle PI, a lefty paper if there ever was one (or maybe more) to make her look better. Next, she’ll be baking cookies to send to the troops.

Michelle has a long way to catch up to me, a nobody from Chicago. 160 and counting since 2004. First box to my friend in Fallujah was my favorite: 2 drivers and a putter along with 50 golf balls. Boy, did they get a hoot out of that one!

The only good US troops are the ones within Americas borders directing traffic according to Hussein’s minions.

ROTFLOL, that is exactly what I thought. I was going to post that. Gotta stop speed reading. OTOH, she does resemble the care packages.

Too bad Michelle didn’t give a rats-ass about our troops for the last 8 years.
