Michelle, THIS is sacrifice.

Well put.

Thanks for the sobering reminder, and my deepest gratitude to every one of our troops and those of our allies.

May God bless and prosper each of you.

sacrifice’ is our men and women over in the middle east who are waiting for the one to decide if he is going to increase troop levels

Sacrifice is a mother or father giving up everything for their own child/children to give them a good life.

Sacrifice IS NOT GOING TO TRY TO GET THE 2016 GAMES IN CHICAGO. Now I love Chicago however her going over there is not a Sacrifice I am sorry.

THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER IS SACRIFICING BECAUSE WE A PAYING THE TAB FOR THIS VISIT.
Gosh imagine if it was President Bush going over to promote Crawford Texas, Dallas etc for the 2016 games while the boys and girls were in a crisis in Afghanistan didn’t we just have 42 die in one month where is the outrage.

No Sacrifice is not going over to promote Chicago

These are a Sacrifice in the months of August and September 2009

Six coffins carrying bodies of Italian soldiers fly to Rome
Six coffins carrying the bodies of Italian soldiers who died in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan were flown back to Rome on Sunday.

The two deaths bring to 43 the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan this month. July was the deadliest month of the nearly eight-year war - 44 U.S. troops died. But with five days left in August, this month could again set a new record.

After the classiness of the previous first ladies, this is a total embarrassment for America. She sounded like a fift grader doing a school project-why should we bring the Olympics to Chicago?

Obama’s view the trip as a sacrifice because Their Highnesses can’t get their $100/lb beef?

“It’s a ‘sacrifice’ to travel to Europe to pitch for the Olympics.”


This is the exact complete opposite of how a First Lady should be comporting herself. Her words come off as being of a spoiled, whiny, lazy, arrogant and smug character. If this is what you call a sacrifice then you’ve forgotten your roots.

GM’s Opel factories were bombed, but they were way down there on the list, as I assume Ford’s were. The Germans didn’t trust the American companies with war hardware, just trucks etc.

It's payback time for hubby with the untold numbers of union thugs back home.

Don't forget the slumlords who are so especially tight with Obama (and Valerie Jarret). They'll make millions selling condemned, should have been condemned, or otherwise worthless property on which the Olympic venues will be built.
