As the generals beg Obama for more troops, and America's economy continues to nose dive, President Obama headed for Copenhagen, Denmark to convince the Olympic Committee that the 2016 Olympics belongs in thug-infested Chicago.
Michelle said in a speech in Copenhagen that the trip is a real sacrifice.
Lady, you have no idea what sacrifice is.
A friend of mine told me about him and his wife putting together a care package filled with groceries for a neighbor up the street because after paying their bills there was nothing left for food.
Our troops live in tents in Afghanistan, missing their families dearly, and are under the constant threat of death every day.
An acquaintance of mine is working two jobs, and pulling weeds for neighbors on the weekends, to make ends meet.
Many give up finishing college, or pursuing their dreams, to take care of ill family members, or to help keep the family financially afloat.
Thousands have perished in Samoa and Indonesia as earthquakes and tsunamis have ravaged the two areas.
In California a drought is underway, and mandatory water conservation is in place.
In the southeast storms recently flooded neighborhoods.
I once read a story of a woman in China caught in a snow storm, protecting her baby with her body, and dying in that position. The child survived because of his mother's sacrifice.
Despite the sadness of poverty in America, the poor in this country are richer than over 90% of the people in the rest of the world who sacrifice daily to protect their children, or to locate sustenance for themselves or loved ones.
Michelle Obama, you consider sacrifice having to fly in a separate plane than your husband on the taxpayer's dime? Was it a sacrifice at the high-end hotel because your pillow wasn't fluffy enough? Was it a sacrifice to eat at the plush restaurants? Perhaps they didn't have your favorite wine?
Oh, sorry, she said it's all for the kids. Excuse me. Pardon me, ma'am. If it is for the kids, then all criticisms are off. . .
And folks wonder why we call these inconsiderate, narcissistic, self-serving boobs elitists.
Sacrifice. Michelle Obama doesn't know the meaning of the word.
