The Dissing of Laura Bush
By WILLIAM MCGURN
By choosing Fort Bragg for her first official trip outside the capital last Thursday, Michelle Obama signaled that she will use her position as First Lady to promote one of America's most deserving causes: our military families.
Plainly the families loved it. Just look at the smiles on those children as she read them "The Cat in the Hat."
So it was just a little disconcerting the next morning to hear the First Lady explain how she came to this issue during last year's campaign.
"I think I was like most Americans," she told ABC News. "Pretty oblivious to the life of military families. Sort of taking it for granted."
Perhaps Mrs. Obama did take these families for granted. Surely, however, it's extraordinary to suggest that "most Americans" did the same.
Certainly not the McCains, the Bidens and the Palins, each of whom had at least one son in uniform. More to the point, the presidential campaign in which she says the issue started "taking shape" for her came nearly seven years into a war that has inspired millions across America to step forward to help our troops.

...she came to this issue one way and for one reason only... after she, her contemptible husband and all their vile advisors decided they were missing out on real support from the military families, they decided they would USE these wonderful families for their [the low class obamas] own self promotion!!!
NO ONE will ever convince me that this is not a very calculated, diabolical plan they cooked up!!!
Everyone knows of the filth that is currently in the White House.
So, anything these folks say & do against decent people is no surprise.
I usually pay no attention to them.
Just consider the source...
BTTT
Thanks for the ping. How dare he indeed
Thank you for your words this morning...my blood boils too, today, every time I see Michelle on television and hear the media ‘slurp’ over her beauty, her taste in clothes, all the work she is doing, what a wonderful mother she is, and on and on and on! It almost makes me throw-up.
There will never be another couple as loving and graceful as President Bush and his first lady, Laura. No one will ever have MORE LOVE FOR THE MILITARY than President George Walker Bush....I have seen many tears flow down his cheeks when he was with the Military or talking about the Military. This man’s heart nearly broke when he was speaking of an injured Military man or woman. I will always love and admire both he and Laura. It breaks my heart to think of the couple who lives in the White House now.
Michelle was too busy over the past few years listening to that preacher of their’s, who ran down the Military in every war we have ever been in. Talking bad about how many innocent people our country has killed in wars. That is what her head was filled up with. AND NOW SHE LOVES THE MILITARY?????
Michelle....First Beotch
That Kenyan usurper will never be my president either!
Bingo!
Michelle Obama is the poster girl for Affirmative Action.
Soon we will read that children are being invited to play on the South Lawn! something else that Michelle thought up all by herself!
If you have time, send a note of thanks to William McGurn for his insightful and timely article.
I hate to see anyone use the word “diss”, especially a Wall Street Journal columnist; it’s “gangsta” language and always will be.
THANK YOU both for posting such amazing anecdotes and photos.
Bottom line: The Bushs actually care about the members of our military; the Obamas are pathetic poseurs.
Embarrassment. "Ashamed" came more in to play when he did essentially nothing after that. Attempting to rescue our personnel was the right thing to do ... but Jeemah had so maltreated that military that the attempt was doomed.
We need to see thru what Michelle is actually doing.
Yes, Michelle is out there reading to children because she is supporting her husband's policy of forced "community service" that will be expected from of all of us in one form or another.
Grandparents? No problem. They can read to other people's children or God forbid, be baby sitters to the children whose parents are in basic training.
Believe it.

Michelle Obama is no class. They are working so hard to change a sow into a silk purse; but she just doesn’t have it and never will. The dims always elect these types of people. They all show arrogance which seems to be the one qualification. They are always the opposite of what they claim.
No .. it was the gathering of military families and military support groups who were invited to the WH to thank them.
