Michelle Obama absent from 9/11 ceremony to be home with girls for 1st week of school. But...
WSBT ^

Posted on 09/11/2008 11:33:54 PM PDT by IDRATHERNOT

Conspiciously absent from September 11th memorial service, the Obama campaign claimed Michelle Obama was home with her children for the 1st week of school. However, on Sep. 10th, she spent most of the day at a "Working Mothers" roundtable in Fishers, Indiana (a 3.5 hour drive from Chicago).
FISHERS, Ind. — More evidence Indiana is in play this presidential election year: the Obama campaign focused on the state again Wednesday. This time it was Michelle Obama, right in the heart of Republican territory.

Perhaps Michelle agrees with the Rev. Wright, and believes we DESERVED 9/11, so she didn’t want to honor the lives lost.

Working Union Mothers Forum in Fishers Indiana, or a CPUSA feminist meeting in UpTheCreek, WVa.....anything to get her out of a head-to-head comparison with the Governor of Alaska on TV.....

Sarah has stolen all, and I mean ALL, of Michelle's limelight, and no amount of wishing, or TV slant of coverage, will get it back.

SCHADENFREUDE ALERT: It’s all over for Dems. Hey, I wonder if Barry Hussein is considering converting back to his Daddy’s religion so he could have more, or at least another wife just for saying three times “I divorce you”.

Thanks, trisham, for posting that youtube link to Michelle on Ellen. Unfortunately I ate a meal just before watching it and I did almost lose it.

The fawning and groveling of the media at the feet of the Obamas and all other Democrats is truly barfable.

Do they even notice, for a second, how 10,000% biased they are?

DISGUSTING......she was on the campaign trail and NOT with her girls? Well MO, I am ASHAMED of you, that you have come this close to the role of First Lady for a country you abhor.

The only reason Michelle Obama passed up a photo-op was because she didn’t want to honor the victims of 9/11.

And Barack Hussein Omama-nation clearly showed their joint disdain by his careless tossing his flowers, rather than respectfully bending and gently placing them as John McCain did.

I might have bought that excuse of staying home for the first week of school, except that she wasn’t home all week. I saw her on the Ellen DeGenres’ show this week. Does that show film in Chicago?

Anyway, this is a kind of silly criticism. She was home because the Obama campaign can’t criticize Sarah Palin for not staying home with her kids if Michelle Obama is traveling around the country, campaigning for her husband 24/7.

Maybe she was sick or something! I’m no fan of Michelle. But I don’t care whether she shows up or not.

That's not the point. She was at a roundtable thingy on 09/10 while her kids were in school. The Obama campaign lied about why she couldn't make the 9/11 remembrance.

The thing is, Michelle Obama is the wife of a presidential candidate. If Obama gets elected, will Michelle stay at the WH if Obama goes to Memorial Day, Veteran's Day or D-Day services?

From your link:

UPDATE 2: Here's the fuller explanation of everything. Michelle Obama's itinerary is scheduled well in advance to juggle childcare responsibilities and campaign duties, as she is the primary caregiver for the Obamas’ young daughters. She regularly only travels two to three days a week with only one overnight away every so often from home.

What a crock of horse feces. Michelle knew 9/11 was coming up, when the initerary was planned, they couldn't just circle Sept 11th or something and cancelled any other events?

Is there ANYTHING genuine about the Obamas? Other than condescending superiority?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I once saw an advertisement for something made of, “genuine artificial leather”. That is the Obamas, they are genuine fakes.

Absolutely! Michelle is even better looking than Helen Thomas, she is almost as beautiful as Alan Combs.

They're true believers. They don't care if they're biased, because they believe they are right.

John McCain can hold his head up in any gathering of patriots - not so easy for the Obamas.

there is no Mrs. Biden. She and their 1 year old daughter were killed in a traffic accident some time ago.
