The beautiful, bright and charming Michelle Obama may have recently wrapped up her week-long tour of South Africa and Botswana but she’s left behind messages of hope and inspiration.
With daughters Malia and Sasha and mother Marian Robinson in tow, the First Lady met with young women and encouraged them to become active in combating HIV/AIDS, poverty and other areas of social change. At a US-Africa youth leadership conference, Obama spoke to 70 young girls about how each could make a difference. “So make no mistake about it: There are still so many causes worth sacrificing for. There is still so much history yet to be made,” she said. “We still struggle every day to perfect our union and live up to our ideals. And every day, it is our young people who are leading the way,” she added.
Returning home to the U.S., Michelle Obama has been busy traveling throughout New England, heaping praise upon members of the military and speaking of the need to help youth. On Thursday, Mrs. Obama met with family members of the Vermont National Guard, saying that the National Guard, its reserve members and their families deserve the nation’s thanks and support. Her speech also highlighted “Joining Forces,” an organization founded by the First Lady and Jill Biden to encourage individuals and businesses to help military members and their families.
Mrs. O quickly moved on to Massachusetts where she addressed a crowd of 100 attendees at a Friday evening Boston fundraiser. The First Lady touched audience members by revealing her husband’s deep sense of compassion and commitment to the American people. “I see it in those quiet moments late at night, after the girls have gone to bed, and when he is at his desk reading the letters that people have sent him. The letter from the woman dying of cancer whose health insurance would not cover her care. And I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice. ‘You would not believe what these folks are going through’,” she said.
The First Lady admitted that while her husband’s administration has made great strides, there are many Americans who “still need our help.”
Oh it reeds like my communist newspapers of my youth. Vomit material!
>The one that doesnt like America and looks like a wookie is first lady.<
That’s more like it.
Moose-jaw Obama bump.
No Frickin’ barf alert? BTW, how’s the walking going?
JOINING FORCES...., Obama and Biden, telling Americans we need to do more to support our military and families.. guess Michelle thinks this is something new, and she set it all up.. gosh some how I managed to run a house hold, raise our family, with my husband gone so many times, and I was not a victim, and knew I had support and a loving spouse, guess this goes along with Michells being proud of America for the first time in her adult life..
At least 30 minutes a day. Feet hurt.
Your feet will get better as you lose weight:). You might want to ease off on the pace at first until you get in condition. I started with 5 minutes and added a minute per day until I hit 45 minutes. Took off 60 pounds, but I probably said that before.
Such inspiring words. She offers hope to the hopeless and a life’s challenge to those mired in mediocrity. After all, with stirring words to be good and do nice things, the youth of the world are able to rise above their circumstances and be the best they can be.
How wonderful that we have the very model of gentility and healthy minded womanhood in Michelle. She is especially effective with girls from ages 4 to 7 who need to hear her stirring admonition to be sure to wash behind their ears and wear a pretty dress.
The grass is green.
The Media is delusional.
“Obama and Biden, telling Americans we need to do more to support our military and families.. “
You want to support our people, Mr. President? Then stop treating them like their your personal Praetorian Guard. Stop getting them into needless fights simply because (God help us) you’re the CIC and do whatever you damn well please.
And she said that with a straight face?
Another “journalist” performing oral sex.
Beware of the growing subset of military members who are not like normal, regular, patriotic Americans.
Girl got some scary teeth!
Marry a Marxist billionaire's pet colored guy so they can live a life of taxpayer-funded ease?
Add ANGRY to that mix.
“beautiful, bright and charming Michelle Obama”
So reminiscent of the “media” of former communist countries, especially Romania, where its press described Ceausescu`s wife as “brilliant and protective mother of Romania, academician Elena Ceausescu”
I was going to say “tripe,” but “barf” is better....I never read such a bunch of crap.
