Michelle Obama: I know people say it was a sacrifice for me and Oprah to go to Copenhagen

I’m … pretty sure no one’s saying that.

In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her “dear friend” and “chit-chat buddy” Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow’s visit by President Obama, is a “sacrifice” on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. “As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,” the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, “so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.”

And the libs will lap this puke up. -spit-

“Michelle Obama: I know people say it was a sacrifice for me and Oprah
to go to Copenhagen”

Michelle “My Belle” Obama...
NUTTIER THAN MARY LINCOLN.

(and she doesn’t have the rationalization of having children die
while her husband is President...)

along with the travel of her “dear friend” and “chit-chat buddy” Oprah Winfrey

Hmmm, familiar scene. Does Oprah serve the Wookie Diet Coke?

[MrsEmmaPeel]

In Queen's English its: Oprah and I

[keepitreal]

Although bad grammar, “me and Oprah” reflects Mrs. Obama’s view of herself, always first. So in Obamaspeak, this is a perfectly correct usage.

[keats5]

Really! What ever happened to: “Thank you for your generous hospitality. What a pleasure it is to visit your beautiful city! ...”

[Free State Four]

Didn't you know it would end up being "for the children"?

Yup. Every time a Dem utters that phrase, I check all my pockets for my wallet, checks, money and other valuables, just as Carl in "Casablanca".

[keats5]

Wow. I’ve never seen Oprah’s home.

[Repeat Offender]

Yup....everyone is so grateful the First Linebacker went to Copenhagen......we’d be even more grateful if they kept her; hell make it a 2 fer; they can keep Okra too.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

You've got to admire her grit. Michelle is always making the hard choices. Like taking the six-figure no-show hospital administrator job so that she could she could pay for the kids' school and piano lessons. Back in Chicago, she had to bring home the bacon while her husband, Lord Barack (The Most Merciful), was busy 'giving back' with the relatively lower-paying community organizer and state senate jobs.

Life is so hard.

[Cicero]

That’s right, Michelle. I was just DELIGHTED to pony up my tax dollars to pay for your sacrificial trip.

By all means, use some of my money to bribe the Olympic Committee, too. There’s a lot riding on it. Penny Pritzker needs to get a return on her real estate investments. And the Chicago Mafia has a big stake in it.

[Califreak]

LOL!

She looks like Cynthia McKinney in that pic.

[Bahbah]

This brave and intrepid woman ventures out from her comfortable sinecure at the mansion in which she lives, surrounded by sycophants who are paid for by the American taxpayer into the wilds of Copenhagen attended and protected by Secret Service agents and a drooling press.

She sacrifices so much.

[Dallas59]

Meanwhile a sacrifice in Obammys Chicago...

[Carley]

An indulgence is not a sacrifice unless they’re using the billclinton dictionary

[CAluvdubya]

First of all Mrs. Obama, it’s “Oprah and me”.

That drives me nuts! She said, "Me and Barak" allllll through the campaign. Will nobody tell this idiot woman anything.....like how to dress appropriately for certain occasions/events or how to speak correct grammar???

What an embarrassment!

[webschooner]

gag me with a spoon

[faucetman]

Our new “Royals”

[Neverforget01]

As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days

Please tell us what "people" have said this or even thought it?

[Michael.SF.]

That is just one of them, she has several others including ones in Hawaii, Chicago area and Florida (I think).
