W.H. ladies support military
Politico.com ^ | 3/1/11 | MJ LEE

First lady Michelle Obama and second lady Jill Biden are set to formally unveil a new phase in their campaign for military families on a level comparable to the first lady’s trademark “Let’s Move” campaign.

Focusing on four main areas — employment, education, wellness and public awareness — the first and second ladies will collaborate with businesses and private organizations to help support the loved ones of the country’s troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. “However folks choose to help, the idea here is very simple,” Obama said, speaking to a bipartisan meeting of U.S. governors at the White House on Monday. “It’s about doing everything we can to keep military families in our hearts and on our minds. “

She and Biden urged the governors to set aside partisan political conflicts and support the effort, put the needs of military families first.

More community organizing BS. These people don't know anything else. Absolutely nothing.

the first and second ladies will collaborate with businesses and private organizations to help support the loved ones of the country’s troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.

What? Communities don't do that now? Obamas = pampered over-educated grievance-mongers.

What a load of BS!

Best thing they can do for our country’s Armed Forces is to permanently move their butts to the Communist country of their choice.

I know! With Obama sending troops to Libya, I can’t help but think they are getting in ahead, so they can get accolades for their support when our soldiers are fighting Obama’s righteous war in Libya.

Biden’s kid serves in the Middle East for the National Guard. I’ll give the Bidens a pass for that because one of their own is serving overseas.

The Obamas’ on the other hand, F THEM. Everyone here knows what a bunch of liars they really are. They make the Clintons look like George and Martha Washington.

In other words, ineffective, unrealistic, pandering lip-service.

Not one to ever call for hitting a lady but Michelle Obama is no lady. She’s an angry, racist black bitch who hates my country and people like us here who love it. I won’t ever forget the garbage this wretched woman came out with during the campaign , her near constant scowl and angry sneering in public renders me to wanting to smack her stupid head to Pluto with a baseball bat.

I have mixed feelings about him since he's a lawyer in the JAG corps. The publicity they get makes it seem like they're over there watching for our troops to do something wrong so they can be brought up on charges. Is this an unfair characterization?

....and which Republican governors have not been concerned about the needs of military families?
