Perhaps someone can enlighten me...Mrs. Obama claimed “military families” as one of the issues she planned to address as First Lady. But I can’t find any record of her meeting with them since early this year—or possiblly sometime in late 2010. If anyone has more specific info, please post it on this thread. Coming off her vacation debacle in Spain, she clearly needed a better photo op, so off to Walter Reed.
Also, it’s very clear this trip was arranged at literally the last moment. I was at Walter Reed for several hours Thursday afternoon, and there was no talk of a pending visit by Mrs. Obama, or any evidence of preparations for her arrival (Secret Service presence; cutting the grass, etc).
Glad I made the trip to Walter Reed yesterday and not today.
While on a trip to watch the Lakers play basketball(probably another vacation) in California in June she stopped by Camp Pendleton and met with the Marines there. The White House gave her this job so they can act like they really care about the military and maybe lose their reputation of hating it, which won’t fool anyone because everyone knows Democrats hate the military. She acts like she’s passionate about this, but that’s phony. I bet she doesn’t even personally know one person in the military and she previously said she wasn’t proud of her country. And really, what can she do to improve their lives? Is she going to give all of them a raise? What power does she have anyway?
