Raise your hand if you truly believe she cares.

[goodnesswins]

What bunk....smart businesses generally hire vets at a higher rate because they USUALLY HAVE a higher work ethic! She’s using them .... again...

[definitelynotaliberal]

*swooning with back of right wrist held to forehead*

How magnanimous of her, the woman who flew to spend her weekend with her brother the weekend the Commander in Chief attended the memorial service for the 30 Navy SEALs felled.

Exactly what part did the Wookie play in this to make this happen except reading the announcment to the press?

[jocon307]

Better she is doing this than hectoring us about our food choices.

[EGPWS]

The first Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched Joining Forces, a national initiative that mobilizes all sectors of society to give service members and their families the opportunities and support they have earned.

Including the occupant of the Oval Office, the senate chambers, and the house right?

[Popman]

Nice gesture I guess.... but the numbers don't add up

100,000 jobs hired by 1,100 companies ???

How many employers in this country can hire 100 people in two years

More government make believe numbers

[keats5]

Agreed. We don’t have to pile on when she does something right.

[Track9]

I wonder how much tax payer money they threw at companies to get them to ‘promise’. This is NOT the way a free market works. Obviously..

[bigbob]

I don’t think she gives one rip, but I will applaud any effort to improve the lives of our returning veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much for all of us.

Michelle 0bama? When was she elected?

[biggredd1]

screw the commies....

[Mr. K]

If they are going to start counting imaginary future jobs then why not a million?

[JerseyHighlander]

Dick Morris copycats in the Obama inner circle, I presume:

How Clinton’s plan to field 100,000 new police turned into a pork barrel as usual.

The queen has spoken (the female one)

[dforest]

If there are any jobs, they will be burger flippin’ jobs.

Don’t allow the leftists to fool you.

[mountainlion]

How about clearing the almost year backlog of Veterans disability claims?

[2ndDivisionVet]

I was a veterans career counselor almost exclusively from 1983 to 2000. An affirmative action disbarred lawyer from Chicago is not going to blow smoke up my skirt on this issue.

[Fred]

Obama is such a bag of crap, it is all being done via tax credits and 100,000??? We need at least 250,000 a month to get to 7% in 5 years.

[shalom aleichem]

There you go. These companies will be “induced” with Stimulus $, and also they will have to give it right back to Obama’s campaign. Our money once again; Obamas’ credit.
