Michelle Obama, Laura Bush plan joint 9/11 event
Politico ^ | 08/23/10 | Mike Allen

Posted on 08/23/2010 6:29:10 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

It’s a first for first ladies: Michelle Obama and Laura Bush will appear together next month on the 9th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in Shanksville, Pa., where United flight 93 went down after the crew and passengers fought back against terrorists.

Administration officials said the event will build on Michelle Obama's focus on the heroes of Sept. 11 — celebrating their heroism, honoring their memories and supporting their families.

One thing about MO that puts her in a class of hateful anti-americans all to herself—she is without peer in being butt ugly, but that is not why she is so despicable. She is despicable for her racist ingratitude for her station in life. For Laura Bush to associate with her is no different than for LB to associate with the leaders of the black panthers.

The comparison will be quite instructive.

Moochie will be wearing something totally inappropriate.

If it’s an open event, meaning the crowd isn’t screened, I think Moochelle is going to find herself roundly booed.

So. Both sides will be represented.

Yeah, yeah. I know. I said I wasn't taking the bait.

A man can only be expected to withstand so much!

Makes one wonder who the “heros” are that MO will be celebrating.

I have the feeling that the invitation was originally just extended to Laura. However, with Barack's recent support of the mosque being built near Ground Zero, and the retaliation that has erupted across America for his words...I just bet the WH called the planners of this event and injected Michelle, demanding she be invited.

Honoring the memory of the tragedy of 9/11 and the deaths of thousands at the hands of Islamic Jihadists has never, ever been significant to either Obama. This is simply a PR move to get her husband out of the doldrums.

I really hope Laura and Moochelle can keep it non-political.

Laura Bush was already scheduled and then today Big Mo announced that she was going to appear, too. Bet Bambi’s political advisors were working overtime on that one.

Actually, I downloaded Laura Bush’s book on my Sony, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The most interesting part, to me, was what went on in the WH when the towers were bombed, but I also found interesting all of the descriptions of of the rooms in the WH and the history of some of the artifacts there.

Say what you want, but Laura Bush is a classy lady.

Drudge in a way misled with that caption as if Laura Bush & Michelle Obama jointly planned the event. So commenters are angry here.

Truth is the event with Laura Bush as keynote speaker was planned & announced months ago.

Bush in the dictionary means lacking judgement.

Drudge is using the title by Politico..it is them that is misleading..

Michelle has a lot of damage to repair over her lavish spending sprees and Hubby’s remarks about the Ground Zero mosque

I hope the masses see this for what it is.

DON’T listen to Glenn Beck on this subject.

Beck is right on on most issues.

If you think a PROGRESSIVE is somebody who opposed sweatshops for juveniles, supported inspection of the meat and food industry, supported a strong military, stood up for the rights of Americans overseas, and wanted America to take its rightful place among the nations of the world, TR was guilty.

TR was a zoologist, a multi-linguist, a cowboy, a martial arts student, a big-game hunter, a conservationist, a patriot, a lawman, an author, a military expert, a stateman, a veteran, a war hero, and more things like Beck could ever imagine.

More than that he was a Great American. He WAS a “force of nature”.

MORE Presidents should be like him instead of myopic, introspective, uneducated boobs and historical ignoramuses.

Don’t link him in there with people like Wilson, FDR, etc.

It doesn;t stick and it makes Beck look foolish.

Attending this is the classy thing to do for Classy Laura who of course must remain classy and upbeat like being pro-choice and anti-coathanger etc. The syncophant Bushies will bow down and praise her no matter who Classy hangs with.

What is it with politicians always manipulating things?. 9/11 was a tragic event. The Bushes just as the older Bushes are fools to fall for this.
