Politico ^ | 08/23/10 | Mike Allen

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.

BINGO...we have a winner. And they play the general public for fools, pitting reds against the blues.

Sounds like Moosechelle is stepping on Laura’s toes here (which could cause a fracture, considering the size of her). What has MO done for military families since she pretended to be interested in them for the campaign? Bank on it that Queen MO will make this event all about her.

Michelle Obama has no business being included. She has shown time and time again how much hate she has for this country. But, no we have to have some ding dong come along and throw a wrench into it and make it political; instead of what it should be.

As for GW, quit hiding behind people.

“Sorry, I no longer respect TR. He was a frackin’ progressive.”

Unfortunately the last 100 years have caused the definitions to change and shift dramatically. In TR’s days, the main supporters of segregation were the Democrats. Republicans were in many ways a lot closer to today's liberals.

And old TR, if he were alive today, would NOT be considered a “progressive.” The liberals would undoubtedly call him a racist, imperialists, capitalist tool. And by the current "liberal" definition of such things, they'd be correct

It’s almost like watching that fake wrestling on TV. Where is Andre the Giant?

They don’t have a say. It is the National Park Foundation that puts this together.

Laura can’t back out. She was already announced.

Now, the White House needs damage control so they are going to try to repair Michelle’s image.

I want to see one other thing that (#(%*#!(@(#(@!&*# First Lady has done in her

Hopefully in an open event the Moosehippie will get soundly booed and heckled. That would be priceless.

Some of what you have written here is correct. own words on the subject.

TR helped start the National Park System if memory serves correctly. Look at the monstrosity it has turned into.

I did a quick search of quotes and facts on him .. nothing turned up there.

I will continue to look.

Read a literature book written in the middle of the last century. The beginning had a sum up of the events from the late 1800s until the WWII. Democrats and Progressives were far different than they are now.

“TR helped start the National Park System if memory serves correctly. Look at the monstrosity it has turned into.”

If it were not for TR we wouldn;t have all the great National Parks we do have today - the Grand Canyon, the Tetons, etc. He started it. Its not HIS fault that succesive idiots abused the concept.

“I did a quick search of quotes and facts on him .. nothing turned up there.”

Facts of WHAT? Read “Theodore Rex” or get it oon tape. OR, visit the Museum of Natural History in New Yorck City.

Laura Bush is a useful idiot. She’s an airhead for doing this.
