First lady Michelle Obama made an unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday as part of her "regular private meetings and interaction with military families," according to an official in her office.

Today's visit to Walter Reed will allow the first lady to "share the feedback and concerns expressed by military families with officials inside the White House and across the administration," the official said.

Barack Obama has been to Walter Reed only once as president. He's played golf at least 41 times since January 20, 2009.

Michelle Obama discovered military families only when her husband was running for president, using them as another 'victim class'to be exploited. Before then, by her own admission, she was oblivious to military families even though her husband was a United States senator and before that an Illinois state senator while Illinois was sending troops to war since 2001.

So, please excuse me for not giving Michelle Obama praise for her visit today.

rahm emmanuel must have seen the news story about Bush 43 and Laura greeting the troops.

“I’VE GOT A BRACLET TOO” has turned into “I’VE VISITED THE TROOPS TOO”

...if not for the Marie Antoinette problem of last week she’d be planning for the Ramadan party.

I believe this was done to make the trip to SPAIN, ‘legal’ and ‘covered by the taxpayers’.

They’re so tainted now, that even when they do the right thing nobody trusts them.

To Mooshelle Antoinette and 0 the troops are props. I remember one time when 0bama was about to read from the teleprompter he turned aroud and said to the military people arrayed behind him “you guys make great props.”

For her next trick, she rescues little kitties from the shelter. Liberals are so transparent.

This is nothing but another disingenuous prop... and she’s trying to shake off some of that Marie Antoinette jacket she has earned.

Oh, and doesn’t making sure this hits the media make this a bit more than, an “unannounced visit “.

The Obama’s are frauds to the bone.....

Yep! Damage control and Obambi needed to do something to get the limelight back from George and Laura going to welcome back returning troops.

Looks like she’s gearing up to stump for rats across the country this November. Certainly her husband can’t cause they don’t want him but what makes them so sure we like her either.........not!

Is she visting them as a *private person* or the *public figure* she thinks she is? Regardless, they’ve been through enough without having to smile for her.
