She said that she had a newfound sympathy for military spouses because, like so many of us, she had hugged her husband goodbye knowing that there were people out there who wanted him dead. She said that, like us, she had spent lonely nights raising her daughters, comforted only by the knowledge that her sacrifice was for something bigger than herself. She, like many of us, quit her career so that her husband could pursue an all-consuming calling. She got us. More importantly, she told us - and the nation - so.
...
My husband, our children and I were also among the military families invited to the White House Easter Egg Roll this year. And we didn't even vote for President Obama.
...
I was so adamantly opposed to Obama during the campaign that, with my husband deployed on his third tour in Afghanistan, I waited in a very long line to attend a John McCain rally. I even breastfed my then-seven-week-old daughter during the rally so that I wouldn't lose my spot in the front row.
...
But considering that I didn't want the Obamas in the White House, I have to say that since moving in, they have each repeatedly stuck their necks out to make my life easier.

1. Some of those commenters are real winners.

Can't believe they let some of that racist crap stay up.

3. Disgusting but they can't change the article or the good things that

Michelle Obama is doing or trying to do as First Lady.

5. It's partly because their antiquated commenting system

requires people to send an email to report things. People who have to sign into their web-based mail services aren't likely to go through that in order to report one idiot. Given that alternatives have been around for years, I can't help but wonder if that's intentional.

[vaberella]

6. Probably not. Instead she probably won't vote. Irreconcilable differences and such. n/t
