April 12, 2011: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden launched “Joining Forces” to “shine a light on a national problem and seek public-private partner ships to find solutions.”
SEEK? There are loads of these programs around, programs that have been up and running long enough that my kids who served in the (bad) Bush Wars got to benefit from them.
Yes, it’ll be nice if MEchelle and Dr. Jill can drag some reluctant libbies in to help out the kids who are now serving in the (good) Obama Wars.
But methinks they’re the type to drop out again five seconds after the spotlight turns off, a Republican is elected to office, or Democrats kill off charitable tax deductions to “punish the rich” … whichever comes first.
President Obama said, “I want every military family to know, Michelle hears you.”
Oh phew. Cuz we were like really worrrrried about that. It’s right on the list after “Does God hear my prayers?”
Mrs. Obama said, “This is a challenge to every segment of American society not to simply say thank you but to mobilize, take action and make a real commitment to supporting our military families.”
No, you arrogant bitch, ma’am. This is not a “challenge to EVERY segment of American society.” Maybe Lefties need to wise up, but the rest of us are already thanking AND doing a lot of other stuff.
And while we’re on the topic, why don’t you tell Lefties to start thanking soldiers … you know, instead of sneering, insulting and spitting at them. Oh, and if they could also stop keying military-stickered cars in the parking lots, that would be good too. The repair bills are killer.
After the “Joining Forces” launch, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden headed off for a “We’re here to pretend we suddenly care about the families of those didn’t-do-their-homework-gun-totin’-Republican-votin’ enlistees” media blitz.
They’re also going to get their pictures taken with celebrities as they tour through … what a surprise (NOT) … three of the swing states that are critical to the Obama 2012 re-election bid.
And oh how super duper is it that celebs like OPRAH are jumping on board, making appearances and commercials for the Families of Our Brave Men and Women in Uniform!
Be still my heart. Wait … no that’s heart BURN. I need an Alka Seltzer.
These same individuals wouldn’t have been caught DEAD supporting the military when Bushitler was running his Eeeevil Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But sigh … isn’t it positively miraculous how His O’liness not only blessed those (bad) Bush Wars and turned them into the (good) Obama Wars, but also added a WHOLE NEW WAR?! Does that take leadership or what?!
And isn’t it simply fantastalicious how, in the Name of Obama, these Celebrity Patriots are tolerantly and open-mindedly rethinking their deeply held “all-wars-are-bad” philosophies and lending their glittery famousness to supporting Obamas Troops?
It just chokes me up. Well … it chokes me anyway. Especially the part about MEchelle glomming on to programs that have been in place for years and claiming them for her “Joining Forces” effort as if they were All About Her.
At the “Joining Forces” launch event, MEchelle wore a salmon skirt suit. The inimitable Newsbird described it thus:
“How conservative! How tight! How ill fitting! How rippled around the hips!! How it stands out in a crowd! How it stands out to highlight the backside! Knees covered is good! Jacket button sewn in with 250 lbs fish line!”
