"Conspiciously absent from September 11th memorial service, the Obama campaign claimed Michelle Obama was home with her children for the 1st week of school."

Ah, but nothing about 9/11/01 or the reaction of the American people sparked one little bit of pride in Michelle Obama. She probably never shed a tear for the dead. Though she was probably moved to tears at the illumination, eloquence and healing energy of Rev. Wright's "G-D America"... "sermon".

OK, I’m confused. Do the Obama children attend public school? The Chicago Public Schools started on Sept 2, not this week. The Obamas wouldn’t be making something up here, would they? /snark

Go back to pictures of Michelle before she appeared on Opra. Sure looks like Opra gave her one of those famous makeovers.

"Cindy McCain was at Ground Zero...Laura Bush was at the Pentagon...where was Michelle?"

Sarah Palin was giving a farewell speech to her son and about 3,999 other soldiers as they prepared to be deployed to Iraq...where we would not be if 9/11/01 had not forced us to defend our country against terrorism.

They attend the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.

The first day of school was Monday — but I thought she was taping the Ellen show on Monday?

Actually, when I think of Michelle Obama living in the White House, the image I see us suffereng from ad nauseum is this one:

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

Maybe you should have read the excuse Michelle used before making one up to defend her.

One of the first things I noticed was that I didn’t see Michelle. I kept looking, but she wasn’t there.

It is said Michelle introduced Obama to Jeremiah Wright’s church. She probably spent more years at Trinity United than Barry.

She probably didn’t want to be there as she believes the US deserved the 9/11 attacks. The Trinity attitude is too well ingrained into her. Barry is a slick poser and liar, much easier for him.

Funny thing, she stayed home with the kids, campaigned in Indy, then stopped by on the way home to pick her kids up at the $20,000 dollar per kid a year school in Chi town.

Busy All American mom.

I personally think the choice for Michelle to be at home on 9-11 was a very bad political error. When all the other wives were with their husbands, Obama was conspicuously alone. They should have had the whole family there. Obama is wanting to be the commander-in-chief of the United States of America and that position demands certain responsibilities. Honoring the dead is part of that role. 9-11 is not just some minor incident in American history and the men and women who sacrificed their lives during that day deserve their honor.

Teh point is not where she was or whether she was caring for her kids.

She lied about where she was going to be as cover for not showing her face at the 9/11 rememberance with her husband.

She lied, and got caught, is the point.

If she said she was going fishing and went fishing, that’s not a lie. Saying that you will be taking care of the kids, then doing obvious political events, is a lie.

I can’t go out with you Friday, I’m washing my hair.

"How does that fit in with the campaign’s explanation that she was too busy to attend the 9/11 ceremony because this was Sasha and Malia’s first week of school? I asked the campaign and will get back to you when and if it responds."

OOOO, goody.

She’s hiding because she knows she’s target rich and can’t help putting her foot in her mouth.

I’ve said from the get go that this was a MAJOR BLUNDER on the Obama campaign’s part. Are they really that politically inept? Do they hate this country so much that they just do not get it?

She absolutely should have been there. BUT if you’ve attended the church of Jeremiah Wright (the adulterer).... then obviously you would think America deserved this. And did anyone else notice Obama NOT shaking hands and throwing the flower down. Utter disgrace...

Good. This story should have legs.

I AM PISSED. How can we elect a first lady who is not fit to show her face at ground zero?
