This weekend, first lady Jill Biden is traveling in Eastern Europe, meeting with Ukrainian refugees, humanitarian aid workers and others impacted by Russia's war in Ukraine.
As the Biden administration continues to express its unwavering support for Ukraine's battle to preserve its independence, the first lady's trip is another opportunity to demonstrate America's commitment to Ukraine. It also will serve as an important reminder to all American and NATO allies that US commitment to Ukraine will extend well into the postwar period -- whenever that might be.
Jill Biden's first ladyship is a long way from cookie bake-offs and state dinners
This is not the first time that a first lady has played an important role in the nation's politics on a matter of international importance.
Michelle Obama was one of the most clear-eyed and vocal critics of Donald Trump's campaign in 2016, offering some of the most powerful speeches and commentary about the stakes that the nation faced with the prospect of him winning office. And at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, she tore into Trump as someone who was "clearly in over his head."
First ladies have played critical roles in policymaking deliberations. In 1993, President Bill Clinton named Hillary Clinton to be the head of the task force that designed his health care plan. Predictably, she became the vicious target of conservative attacks. Although the plan went down in defeat, Clinton's work helped put forth a new model of health care reform that became a foundation for the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.

Low grade moron Julian Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University.
His forthcoming book "The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: A First Historical Assessment" will be full of leftwing insanity.
Jill and mooch were useless embarassments
Ugh what an f’n moron
Getting ready to phase out the addled old man.
Behold, our first (unelected) female president!
Opinion : it doesn’t matter
I don’t seem to recall seeing Jill Biden’s name on the ballot.
Typical CNN and Leftist media garbo.
There is no reason for the First Lady to be in Europe as it directly regards Ukraine. The logic of such is just utter garbo. Her being there will make no difference or matter to the overall calculus this idiotic and moronic inept Administration leading this country down, not a damn thing.
Little Julian looks about as bright has he sounds. I don’t know how in the hell Biden’s former babysitter can make any difference on what is going on in Ukraine. This guy is a real CNN dork. CNN Dorks Don’t Matter.
Taking Hunter with her?
Of course there is! Somebody has to pick up those envelopes of cash.
Jill Biden is married to Joe Biden...that, in itself, tells you that she is probably a moron, a criminal or a cheap whore...if not all three...the quintessential Democrat.
Ooh good, CNN.
Opps, my bad. Forgot that.
It would've been hard for her to be more wrong.
President Bill Clinton named Hillary Clinton to be the head of the task force that designed his health care plan.... Although the plan went down in defeat
That's one helluva an understatement.
Why Jill Biden’s trip in Eastern Europe matters: She brought the fuel-starved UA a 5 liter can of diesel. US troops get ketchup, UA troops get diesel.
The LAAP-dog media can't have the image of Trump visiting black children in Africa.

It matters because one can never have too much catsup.
“I don’t seem to recall seeing Jill Biden’s name on the ballot.”
Nor confirmation hearings like a Secretary of State.
“It also will serve as an important reminder to all American and NATO allies that US commitment to Ukraine will extend well into the postwar period.” Hey Julian. Wanna bet?
