Michelle Kvetches to Children with Cancer
American Thinker ^ | September 20, 2014 | Jeannie DeAngelis

September 20, 2014 Michelle Kvetches to Children with Cancer By Jeannie DeAngelis First Lady Michelle Obama figured now was as good a time as any to visit some sick children. Not the ones on breathing tubes suffering from Enterovirus 68, mind you, but non-contagious patients at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

After admitting that she dislikes “selfies” but agreeing to be part of an “ussie,” and after discussing flying her dogs around on Air Force One, the first lady became painfully honest. So much so that she even complained to youngsters battling childhood cancers about the misery of living in the White House and being married to a guy who, besides being the president of the United States, spends an inordinate amount of time on the golf course.

The first lady’s grievances were expressed in response to the star-struck kids asking her what her “favorite part [was] about being in the White House.” Mrs. Obama’s initial response to the question was that her favorite thing “[a]bout being in the – about being First Lady is being able to do stuff like this, really. And it is so special for me to get to meet kids like you guys.”

Michelle didn’t mention the trolleys shuttling her and her guests to elegant state dinners in heated tents. Nor did she mention the famous people who drop by for parties and major events, or her unlimited access to $100-per-pound Wagyu beef, $12K Carolina Herrera gowns, millions of dollars for vacations all over the world, or the multitude of other perks she enjoys at taxpayers’ expense. Instead, Michelle unloaded her personal problems onto cancer-stricken kids. To commiserate with children who may not live to see puberty, Mrs. Obama

Her very favorite part of the job is telling all of us what we are allowed to eat, whether our kid’s schools can have bake sales, and demanding Safeway install $30,000 “smart” shopping carts that will praise us shoppers when we make wise Michelle-approved food decisions.

Does anyone still doubt that Michelle thinks that all Americans are retarded? Talking shopping carts that give you a hug and a pat on the head when you buy a can of peas. Cool!!!

This will sound like I’m trying to be funny, but I’m being sincere. These children have been through enough already. Do they really have to endure a visit from this woman and her agenda? Does anyone really think this is of any help to them? Doesn’t she get enough photo-ops already without having to do this? I can’t believe even one child could benefit from this.

No, no, no! Michelle is a friend of the person who runs the shopping cart company! That’s how Chicago works!

It was nice of her to visit here however under her husbands healthcare plan those children treated at st Jude would get death sentence because their healthcare is costly and sometimes rare.

I remember Hillary having healthy kids of hospital employees being pulled from schools to fill the beds in the children’s cancer ward because her staff wanted better looking kids in the photo op. They wheeled the cancer kids all grey, bloated, hairless, with sunken dark circles around their eyes to another ward until Hillary’s visit was over.

The Emanuel curve places 90% of healthcare expenditures on person units under the age of 14 and over the age of 70. If you are in the middle of the curve, you’re going to get treatment. The outliers get morphine and a warm blanket. And if you are in the VA system, you get just IV solution because the staff stole your morphine and replaced it with sterile water.

(Story originally appreared in the American Spectator, March 97)

It seems that Hillary, who's had her fingerprints found on all the new scandals that are breaking on a daily basis is trying to fix her public image.

So, to promote the new effort, showing how deeply Hillary cares about children, especially sick children in hospitals, Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington got a call. Hillary Clinton would be coming over soon with children's author Maurice Sendak. Hillary's advance team would be showing up arranging the security and logistics. The team did show up. What they saw horrified them.

The kids in the hospital children's ward really looked sick! Some of them had tubes sticking out. Some had lost their hair to chemotherapy. Some were groggy because of the pain killers they had to take.

Hospital officials were quickly told this would not do. Hillary would look bad in a newspaper photo if she posed with sickly looking children. They were told. "No children that look drowsy, skip bald kids, sick looking kids, or kids with tubes sticking out."

So here's what the hospital actually did. They outfitted a hospital conference room with toys and kids decorations. They ordered hospital staff members to bring in their healthy children who would pose as sick children in photos with the great St. Hillary.

So, on January 10th, Hillary Clinton showed up to Georgetown University Medical Center and read to a bunch of kids with author Maurice Sendak. Had you read the papers or heard the news the next day, you might have been bowled over by her compassion. Actually she demonstrated the opposite. You see the real sick kids, who were originally told they would be visited by the first lady were originally extremely happy and excited at the prospect of her visit.

When they were later told, they were too sick looking to be with the great Hillary, some became deeply depressed. After all how would anyone feel not being good enough for Ms. compassion herself.

Of course the press published the photos of Hillary reading to the cute kids the next day. They just forgot to tell you that Hillary, in the quest of the perfect photo could not bring herself to be photographed with an actual sick child.

The phony mask of compassion that Hillary hides behind has slipped once again. Just around Purim time too!

The hospital may be relying on a certain amount of government funding, or leniency on ObamaCare matters. The administrators may feel Michelle’s offer to talk with the children is ‘an offer they cannot refuse.’

It’s well known how petty and vindictive the Obamas are. I recall Paula Deen the TV cook, saying when Michelle visited her show, Michelle ate more than any guest she had ever hosted in twenty years. “She just could’nt stop eating!”. Six weeks later, the bottom fell out of her career with trumped up racism charges. Paula is still struggling to reconstruct her career.

Michelle's favorite part of the job is telling all of us what we are allowed to eat.....

Julienned kale on brick-oven baked rice crackers.

Carrot strips and broccoli buds w/ whipped tofu eggplant dip.

Unfiltered grape juice made w/ unsprayed fruit.

Flambéed flaxmeal fiber bars sweetened w/ raisins dried on volcanic soil.

Her favorite thing is to snarl up rush hour traffic! which she did very well. Makes me want to puke her using children cancer victims for a photo op. Just as her 0 jerk of a spouse uses our Military as a photo op. We know they are both narcissistic, selfish people who have no concern for any one but themselves.

After the Fort Hood shooting, we had to endure the president’s addition to the ceremony.

Driving there with the kids, we passed protest groups from both camps. It was tacky.

During the ceremony, we’ve got rows of bawling family in the front and long speeches given about our lost troops.

It was all very tasteful until the president stood up to speak. Then, about a hundred people from the back started cheering and waving stupid signs.

I actually wanted to throw up.

At least he had the sense not to acknowledge them.

But the really horrifying moment came when his speech was done. About 1/3rd of the crowd just walked out. They came what they came for and were done. We’ve got TAPS playing and bawling women and children and they’re chatting and wandering off the field. Those brats didn’t even have the basic courtesy to shut their mouths and show *some* respect for the dead and their mourning loved ones. The looks on the soldiers faces were priceless. There was one soldier who was with the stupid crowd in uniform. She was yanked up by a sergeant. Afterward, he pulled her aside and gave her a very quiet, furious tongue lashing.

It was a gut-punch.
