First lady visiting Boston Thursday [and Vermont]

First lady Michelle Obama will visit Vermont for a series of events after she stops in Boston on Thursday for a fund-raiser at the Chestnut Hill home of Democratic activists Elaine and Gerald Schuster. Obama will speak at the Schusters just after noon during a luncheon that will benefit the Democratic National Committee. Its principal purpose for the next 18 months is re-electing her husband, President Obama. A previous posting about the visit is available here (second item). The first lady will fly from Boston to Burlington, Vt., where she will participate in a 3:30 p.m. “Joining Forces” event to show appreciation to the Vermont National Guard and their families. According to a White House statement, nearly 4,000 of Vermont’s 625,000 residents serve in the state’s Air and Army National Guard. In December and January, some 1,500 Vermont National Guard members came home from a one-year deployment in Afghanistan. At 5 p.m., she will speak at a DNC reception preceding a 6 p.m. committee dinner in Burlington.

Surprisingly for the Boston Globe, reader comments are overwhelmingly against MO. For example: "She spends 10 minutes with National Guard so she can write off the cost of the fundraiser."

She’ll be visiting Marc Bulger in jail, asking for campaign donations. Then she’ll go to see Whitey Bulger for same (or whichever one is in jail or free).

Never let a trip go to waste!

Is there anything more disgusting than to hear this bag of pus and fat referred to as “the first lady”?

Whitey Bulger has been in jail for less than a week and the Chicago thugs are rolling into Boston.
