On Tuesday, as people from all walks of life come together in common purpose to begin the work of renewing America's promise, my daughters and I will stand beside my husband as he takes the oath of office as the 44th president of the United States.
People have asked me how I'll feel at that moment. As a wife, I'll be thinking about how proud I am of my husband and how I believe so deeply that he will be an extraordinary president. As a mother, I'll be bursting with pride at the thought of my girls now being able to envision endless choices for themselves and the joy it will be to watch them grow up in the White House. And as a daughter, I'll be profoundly grateful to my parents, knowing that I am here only because of their lifetime of faith and hard work.
They're my proof that the American promise endures...

On Tuesday night, my husband and I will tuck in our daughters like we always do. Their bedrooms will be different, their home unfamiliar. But they will drift off to sleep protected by that same sacrifice that has kept all of our families safe and safeguarded our freedom for generations — the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform and their families.
For that, we could not be more grateful — or more proud.

I will be fortunate if I don’t puke constantly for the next 72 hours.
She forgot to mention the raping of the constitution part.
I'm with ya FRiend! It is a Bizzarro World. 79% of America has suspended disbelief.
She’s no Laura Bush.
“For the first time in my adult life...I am proud of my country...because it elected my husband”
where was Michelle on 9-11? stick a sock in it, ya phoney
Laura Bush was an advocate for military families
she already gave her message. “don’t work hard, don’t be successful, cos that’s what da man wants you to do. stay poor and vote dim”
There are some pretty interesting responses to the article on the Military.com site.
I I I I
My my my my
Me Me Me Me
It’s about HER.
Thank God we all have each other to get us through this nauseous experience.
I seriously doubt that she, personally, composed such a heartfelt message to our troop families. Support of the military is not in their best interests.
Tequila might help, wouldn’t hurt.
Sorry, but I refuse to read the refuse that will be spewing out of the white house until someone tells me that these liberals are pro-life. In the mean time I will be looking for any legal means to fight them. Just read about a pro-life community organizer that I hope to join.
No, they don't, and no, they won't. They might do that sometimes, but I'd be tempted to bet that MO's mother or staff do the tucking most nights.
...my mother didn't have a botched abortion and leave me to die alone in a utility closet.
Will be a huge letdown. After the gracious Mrs. Laura Bush,
We get ole shelf ass.
Well, isn’t that special....Mrs. BO is finally proud of something....as of tomorrow, I will no longer feel safe, and will be an American without a President....and I’m sure there are alot of people who feel as I do...
Nauseating, isn’t it?
At halftime during the Steelers game last night the commentator said “and now we go to Katie Couric with an update of the inauguration festivities”.
No telling how many millions in revenue they lost from folks changing the channel.
Thank you ToT, for that statement. That does make me feel better.
count me among them.
