Michelle Obama Says U.S., Mexican Governments Can do More to Tackle Drug Issue-

On a visit to Mexico, first lady Michelle Obama said today that in despite recent drug-related violence along the U.S. border, Mexico is still a safe country for Americans to travel with their families and said she hopes to bring her daughters south of the border for a visit.

[Nachum]

Let go of your security detail for a day and go take a walk in Tijuana, Michelle. Then you can get back to us....

[Perdogg]

good grief.

[csmusaret]

She is an IDIOT!

[hstacey]

LOL...If you can...LOL

[SandRat]

For her maybe.

[Overtaxed]

Only for Wookies.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[cripplecreek]

So do I get concentric rings of security provided by the secret service if I go to Mexichole?

[garyhope]

ROFL.

Yes, it’s secure or safe with 50 or 100 SS agents with guns looking after you.

Let’s see you take your kids there without the SS Michelle.

Such a naive airhead.

[Will88]

Oh, yeah, just zip right over to your favorite border town for a day of shopping and a night of clubbing. Perfectly safe...

I thought the State Department issued the travel advice, not the FL.

[elpadre]

It’s really safe with a brigade of troops escorting your every move.

[doc1019]

Surrounded by a thousand personal bodyguards, I would say the same thing. ;-)

[Always Independent]

You don’t have to travel to mexico to see it, its coming to a home depot near you.

[Jagdgewehr]

Oh good! I invite all those who voted for her husband to take her for her word.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Apparently the NSA doesn't show Shelly the SatPix, so I posted one here. This is a typical day pic...

[max americana]

You forget Sasquatch..

[TribalPrincess2U]

Your words are meaningless as usual.
Not everyone has the security you have.

But do be careful out there because there
are some big head choppin’ bad azz dopers...oh wait, they’re
probably friends of your other half.

[hstacey]

Ya get the feeling of real disconnect with these people??? Geez....

[penelopesire]

More proof that the Obama’s really don’t give a crap about the safety of American citizens! This was a highly irresponsible thing for her to say!

[WNC mountainboy]

This was the first time in her life, that she was proud to be in Mexico.

[digger48]

I don't think Michelle would have much to worry about, bodyguards or not.....

¡Ay, caramba!

[Linda Frances]

Michelle, I agree it’s safe. I think Free Republic is willing to come up with the money to send you and Obama on a free trip to Mexico, all expenses paid. You might want to leave the girls with grandma (we are not completely heartless). You two have fun, get to know the people, especially in Tijuana. We know that 18,000 have been killed since 2006, but your husband believes, in humility, that the world loves him. So go & have a great time. Send us a postcard.

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL!!! How 'bout if you don't have a hundred Secret Service agents traveling with you? Is it still safe? What a pinhead.

I've got a hispanic friend who has gone back and forth to Mexico all his life. Right now, he's scared to death to go there. Same thing goes for my son's father-in-law. MObama is FOS.

[funfan]

You First MO

[fatnotlazy]

Perhaps she can send her husband down there...on a one-way ticket.

[rbosque]

Ummmm..... No.

[Soothesayer]

Mexico is pretty safe if you’re a friend of corrupt officials, drug cartels, felons, thieves, and other assorted scum. Michelle would know.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Why the hell is she an advocate for boosting tourism spending in MEXICO? Is she still so ashamed of her country that she won’t speak up about foreigners vacationing in the US? This is extremely weird!

[fatnotlazy]

Every time I see that dog, I feel sorry for him.

[funfan]

minus the Press and the SS he needs some alone time he has been working so hard

[WNC mountainboy]

Consider who she is married to, he has brainwashed her into believing everything she says must be the truth, is the truth, has to be the truth, they don’t make mistakes, they are perfect, and on and on and.................

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Hell, no one in his right mind would mug her!

[Ezekiel]

State Department Travel Warnings

[Mom MD]

With the United States Secret Service clearing every venue and forming a corridor around her, she is very safe. However, that’s not how you and I travel (methinks she forgets)

If its so safe, why doesn’t she send the kids on a little vacation with grandma and no secret service protection. I’m sure she thinks Mexico is safe enough to do that. (do I really need the /s)

[fatnotlazy]

Hmmm....maybe he’ll be kidnapped by a drug cartel...which we can pay to keep him.

[donmeaker]

Bingo! Got it in one.

[digger48]

Every time I see that dog, I feel sorry for him.

Don't see much of the little guy. Both Barry and the Beast look like dog-kickers to me. Probably few pics 'cause they can't get the dog to go anywhere near them for a photo-op.

[potlatch]

The first lady is nuts.

[Army Air Corps]

Sure, Mexico is safe...if you have your own armed guards to escort you everywhere.

[sasquatch]

Hey!

[SVTCobra03]

What do you expect from Chewbacca?

[fatnotlazy]

Maybe he took a wizz on Michelle’s fancy sneakers???

[ScottinVA]

Have a walk through Juarez, Manshell. Let us know what ya find... or what finds you.

[Squantos]

Indeed....she is such a nitwit......LMAO !

[hal ogen]

My hope is that no DIM or RINO seat will be “safe” (politically, of course) come this November. And, yes, michelle is quite the buffoon.

[ScottinVA]

Can these effing people be more out of touch? Sheeeeesh.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

She is delusional!

[Army Air Corps]

Hmmm....maybe he’ll be kidnapped by a drug cartel...which we can pay to keep him.

Somehow, I think that he would remain with them of his own accord.

[nomad]

Good point,why doesn`t she take her saturated fat @ss there WITH OUT those rayban wearing guys providing cover for it? I`ll go without a multimillion dollar security detail when she does!

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, easy to say while surrounded by SS bodyguards.
