BETHESDA, Md. -First lady Michelle Obama has helped open three new residences for families of ailing U.S. soldiers and veterans in Maryland. Obama cut the red ribbon Thursday for the Fisher Houses at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. She was flanked by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Ken Fisher of the Fisher House Foundation. Obama says the homes provide a comfortable place for families who have made a sacrifice for their country. The residences will provide free lodging for the families of as many as 60 sick and injured service members. The Rockville-based foundation has built dozens of Fisher Houses at military facilities since 1991. The new residences are part of the planned move of Walter Reed Army Medical Center from Washington to Bethesda next year.

Nice try. We won't forget how your husband is squeezing tricare, calls for military pay cuts, and screwed the armed forces out of new military hardware.

60 sick or injured? How about the rest of them? Our country owes everyone of them. I’m tired of our vets having to take a back seat to the weekly booze bashes at the White House.

“Nice try”

...exactly. Go eat a box of “Ring Dings” you fat ass. She shouldn’t be allowed within a mile of Arlington Nat’l, Walter Reed, the Vietnam Wall or any other place of distinction, honor and valor.

A bigger barf has been the PSAa running on AFN starring Michelle and Jill Biden telling us how we "finally" have the opportunity to show our support for the families of our service men and women.

TV went off every time I saw it coming.

Everything this arrogant woman does is solely for the benefit of her image. I don’t believe she’s capable of doing anything useful or the slightest sincerity.

Can’t wait until they return to Kenya, or Kenya-on-Lake-Michigan.
