First lady Michelle Obama took her campaign to help veterans find jobs to Fort Campbell, Ky.., Wednesday where she said that most Americans don´t know much about the military. Following comments from Jill Biden, the vice president´s wife and Obama´s teammate in helping veterans, she noted that unlike Biden, she had little familiarity with the military prior to campaigning for the White House in 2008. “Unlike Jill, I wasn´t a military mom. I wasn´t a Blue Star family member. I didn´t know much about the military, and I was probably more like the average American,” said Obama.

She added that 99 percent of the nation takes the military’s service for granted. “Because when one percent of the country is serving and protecting the freedoms of the other 99 percent, it’s very easy for the other 99 percent to take that for granted.”

I see nothing to fault in that statement. Maybe her eyes have been opened about the sacrifices soldiers and their families make - if so, good for her.

The woman in the White House who mouthed those words, should have them tatooed across her forehead for all the world to see. Or, maybe, she could carry a sign with these words across her big rear end. These two traitors in OUR White House should swing..

A below average one knows even less.

[TheOldLady]

There she goes, talking about herself again. However, I’d say she’s
not an average American. She’s well below par on that account.

Thanks for reposting this. It needs to be shown every day everywhere in America. When I first saw this it made my blood boil. These two traitors have no respect for the history and tradition of this great country. I hope I am alive to spit on their graves which I will do every day of my remaining life.

Much as I despise Moochelle, she’s right on this one. Americans will give lip service all day long to the “Support the Troops” mantra, but most Americans think the military is otherwise just another occupation. Otherwise, the public, armed with the knowledge and understanding of the uniqueness of the military culture, would’ve raised a major red flag over the repeal of DADT.

Now, the fat pig is going to be a military expert?

[Joe Boucher]

This fat ass cow is a worthless leach on society.
Moochelle obammy, MOoooooooo.

[Caipirabob]

I think we have a pretty clear image of the obama's vision for it.

[lurk]

She meant to say the average LIBERAL American doesn’t know much about the military.

[grobdriver]

I was probably more like the average American

You are nothing like the "average American, you fat, "proud of my country for the for first time" cow.

Begone, and take your scrawny coward husband with you.

She meant to say the average LIBERAL American doesn’t know much about the military.

The average American may not know much about the military, but the average Liberal "loathes" the military.

“..The Average American doesn´t know much about the military”..........

We know more about our military than we do about our president, that's for damn sure.

MANY, MANY of us served in the various branches of the military and know how it is supposed to work, that is BEFORE odumbo came on board and ruined all aspects of it.

[Bigg Red]

I was probably more like the average American....

No, Mooch, the average American does not hate our military and our country.

[stanne]

“All this for a flag”

[ronnyquest]

Jane Fonda knows more about the military than this overblown windbag. I cannot wait for that piece of dung, her husband, to be out of office. It will take years just to get the socialist stench out of the white hut.

[freekitty]

Hey Michelle, the average American is the military.

[TexasCajun]

Japanese MP who was angry that Michelle didn't join president on Tokyo trip makes extraordinary claim that Obama CHEATS and their looming divorce is 'an open secret'

The UK Daily Mail, reporting what the America MSM will not!

[ColdOne]

Good grief! That is all I can say anymore here without getting banned.

Sure she does....
