I’m glad, too. I can not think of any American President who did not support Toys for Tots.
It’s SOP.

“Michelle Obama dropped off hundreds of Christmas gifts...”

The same credit could go to her driver.

Somehow whenever a Democrat FLOTUS does something charitable one can't help but assume some cynical political motive.
There hasn't been a decent Democrat FLOTUS with a big heart since Rosalyn Carter—ALL the Republican first ladies were sincere and truly caring.

True, all presidents do that. but at least he didn’t throw it to the side. I’ll give him credit for that. The Toys for Tots program has long been a shining credit to our Marines.

Do you happen to know why this year the huge motorcycle rally held every year since I can remenber in Fort Lauderdale associated with the Marines and Toys for Tots changed sponsorship this year and is no longer associate with the Marines?
