The White House says the first lady's visit Thursday is part of the administration's outreach to the Sikh community after the Aug. 5 shooting.

She probably isn’t smart enough to know they’re from a different religion than her husband’s.

Is she going to visit Lt. Brian Murphy, the hero cop who took eight bullets trying to stop the killer?

I thought not.

Wouldn’t want to set back his recovery anyway. the Wookie visiting him might do that, you know.

Seriously, this is just a political move. If the Obamas really cared, they would both visit the Sikh’s quietly and then go see the brave officer.

Not one bone of sincerity in her or husband’s

It’s all about them and their politics.

How long ago was this shooting and murder? She can only find time now. Blantant pandering for votes.

It’s bad enough the Sikhs had to suffer at the hands of a madman, now they have to endure the crocodile tears of an angry black woman.

Stay home Chewie, no one needs you mugging for the camera at these poor peoples expense.

No mention of her visiting wounded FRC hero Leo Johnson. I’m sure that was an oversight . . .

Never let a good crisis go to waste.....

Bush wasn't perfect but when it came to tragedies, his condolences were paid in private. There's a lot the current Pennsylvania Avenue Occupiers could learn from his example.

I would imagine the Sikhs would be disarmed before
coming into her presence, no forks either.

Pandering. If the killer hadn’t been and adherent of white supremacy, she wouldn’t have cared.
