I’m … pretty sure no one’s saying that.

In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her “dear friend” and “chit-chat buddy” Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow’s visit by President Obama, is a “sacrifice” on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. “As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,” the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, “so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.”

Not in this White House, Mom. Don't you know "me" always comes first? There's a whole new style book in use.

WHAT people ? No one I know thinks either Michelle or Oprah has sacrificed a damned thing. O either.

Freakin self-proclaimed martyrs maybe.

You might argue it’s impolite to put yourself first, but there’s no rules of grammar that prevents it.

I don't know but according to The Grammatical Desk Reference it is not grammatically correct to say, "Me and...". It's the way I was always taught so one would think Big MO was taught the same way. JMO

First of all Mrs. Obama, it’s “Oprah and me”.

The Obamas put themselves first...always!

You, know she could have sent me instead if it was such a sacrifice for her and Bozo to go there. I mean, this isn’t just another vacation for them is it, really, it couldn’t be, could it?/SAR.

I am willing to “sacrifice” a few days to fly to Copenhagen in a private jet with 5 star service paid for by someone else to try to scam some multi-million dollar contracts and kickbacks for my homies.

You forget that just like Obama she got her degree given to her out of pity for her skin color.

Having go to Copenhagen isn’t a sacrifice. Having her come back again is.

Hundreds die after tidal wave in American Samoa while Obama flits away in Copenhagen.

How many died in Kartina?

How many planes full of suck ups are they going to send to win these games? These trips are costing the taxpayers a fortune.
