Wolf Blitzer on CNN was asking the same question, "Where is Michelle Obama?" The CNN reporter said Obama campaign sources said she is in Chicago with the two daughters.

I do think she should have been there if at all possible. But we don't know the whole situation, and the fact she was not there certainly does not mean she does not love America. But from an appearance standpoint, it was a mistake for her to not be present since Cindy McCain was present.

She spoke yesterday to 'working women' in Indiana (I think). The little I saw of it she seemed very subdued.

Why Wasn't Michelle Obama at the 9/11 Ceremony?
September 11, 2008 6:58 PM

"Some readers have asked me why it was that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was without spouse at the 9/11 commemoration ceremony today in New York City.

After all, they point out, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was accompanied by his wife Cindy.

Where was Michelle?

The Obama campaign responds that Michelle was back in Chicago with her daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, since this is the first week of school.

The McCain kids, incidentally, have all graduated from high school (some long ago) with the exception of Bridget, who's 16."

Whatever, MO was dancing with ELLEN on Monday.

Sorry, as a Mom, I would have taken my children TO NYC on 9-11 as a great historical lesson. I hate to be negative but...does MO believe what RW said, "Chickens have come home to roost..."?

Much to my chagrin, I read several articles on MO and things she's said (or didn't say:

"I never aspired to be a stay-at-home wife or mother."

Would she support Sen. Clinton if her husband weren't in the race? "That's a good question," she said, pausing.

"I would be more concerned at this time with finding the best president for this time, and if it is a woman, that would be a great thing," she said. "Would I naturally be a Hillary supporter if my husband weren't running? I don't know I'd be looking at the race very differently. And it's hard for me to see beyond the wonders of my husband."

If you have the time, or stomach, do the research.

In my experience, a wife’s character makes a man, good or bad. Stop and listen. Open your eyes. McCain and Palin are whom we NEED in the White House.

But I'm preaching to the choir ;o)

comment 'Please be more generous to' by Libertypoet

Please be more generous to MO's choice to attend to her children's first
week of school rather than attend the 9/11 memorial or even bring the
girls there. These little girls have had a tough couple of years being
the daughter of a celebrity/candidate. If he wins the election, the
change in their lives will be enormous and perhaps not welcome. MO's
efforts to create stability for them seems like the correct instinct.
The Republicans are on the right side of education: responsible choices
for responsible parents. I think MO is exhibiting that. We should be
big enough to respect that. As for Mrs. McCain: she is lovely, and her
charity work is notable and heroic. So far, the Democrats have not made
much of her being a mistriss to McCain while he divorced his first wife,
or her drug addiction for which she wrote fraudulent perscriptions.
Also, A number of blogs on this site have commented on her very
expensive attire. Our generosity to MO will be returned. Live and let
live.

MY "UNBLINKING" RESPONSE

Dear Libertypoet/Angry Left,

I have nothing against MO, except that she's NOT PROUD of America!

That is fine, but not as a FIRST LADY. She is only going along with this gig because as MO stated, "it's hard for me to see beyond the wonders of my husband." from: Michelle Obama's Career Timeout

Libertypoet, ENOUGH (BHO's stolen word) with the DOUBLE STANDARDS and INUINDOS,
it is time to get REAL and HONEST, Become a Republican.

It’s OKAY!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

GOD BLESS GENUINE PEOPLE LIKE Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.

Lighten up, Betsy, MO took her kids to school and thinks her husband is wonderful. So what? I took my kids to school and I think my husband is wonderful too. And I am a very proud American and Republican.

How old are we? No offense to anyone but I think there are bigger issues on the table that require our attention. I think it would be the best idea to focus our attention on the candidates and their running of our government, not their families. When it comes right down to it, people are only responsible for themselves and their actions. It's really not fair to judge them by someone else's actions. Remember, there are always two sides to every story!!!

They know Michelle Obama is not well liked. It was a strategic move to leave her home. It was not an accident

It is no secret, at least to me, that the Obamas are marxists; could it be, then, that Michelle did not feel as if she could mask her true feelings. Or, in the other hand, fake a credible [and thus acceptable] reaction.

I have some respect for the misguided Senator Obama; his wife however, is a different story. No matter how many times she tries to rationalize her comments that for “the first time” in her adult life,” she was proud of America it doesn't change that her Freudian slip reveals her true opinions.

Is this the kind of First Lady we can expect if the Obamite cult has its way?

Lets hope they don't.

Funny how "she was with the kids" on Thursday, yet the night before was off campagining on before of B Hussien Obama in Cincinatti. Who took care of the kids that night? Were they somehow not available to do so on Thursday?

Given Mrs. Obama's strongly critical feelings about the U.S. I suspect the campaign will keep her (figuratively) bound, gagged and stashed away in a warehouse (i.e. the Obama's Chicago mansion). She'll come out very occasionally in very controlled and friendly venues - online with Oprah, the View etc. and in front of very carefully chosen groups.

The last thing the Obama campaign wants is for her and her stated opinions to cross the radar screen of the voting public at large.

Moreover, Obama's many allies in the media will carefully refrain from pressing this issue. Some of us notice, though .....

I guess she found time to leave her children so she could dance on
The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

That was very unbecoming of someone who wants to be The First Lady.

When was the last time you ever saw a pre-First Lady or First Lady
doing what she did.

They would never do it.

First Ladies are dignified and do the proper thing.

What would have happened if Cindy did it?

The media and newspapers would have had a field day.

Did you see the press say anything about the MO dancing?

Of course not. Only if it is a Republican or Conservative is it wrong.

Double Standard.
