Sit in the White House and keep her mouth shut. No one wants to hear her preaching her blabber. ha..ha...so true! Maybe she could visit our retired Veterans and show gratitude for what they have done. My brother is a retired veteran in DC and I have a picture of him shaking hands with with the former President Bill Clinton. First time I saw my brother wearing a suit, that is if she's still proud to be an American... k to you..... If she did a tour of VA hospitals, I'm sure someone would bitch about something she did wrong.

She just told you what she wanted her to do. Why do you insist that she MUST have some kind of platform. Why does she need a platform? She's not running for anything.

Jackie Kennedy's platform was historic restoration of public areas in the White House and she got flack for spending public money on it.

Pat Nixon: As First Lady, Pat Nixon promoted a number of charitable causes, including volunteerism. She oversaw the collection of more than 600 pieces of historic art and furnishings for the White House, an acquisition larger than that of any other administration. Pat became the most traveled First Lady in U.S. history up to that time, visiting about 80 nations; she was the first First Lady to enter a combat zone. These trips gained her favorable reception in the media and the host countries

We can blame Lady Bird Johnson for "Give a hoot, don't pollute. Don't be a dirty bird."

It's irrelevant what others have done. Stop stereotyping first ladies.

Doesn't matter, her kids were her top priority and that's enough for me. I told you, any sort of charity work would be appreciated.

She had to find something to do while her husband was sleeping around. I loved her, she had real class and quite intelligent. She had her hobbies, such as horse-riding and loved her books. It would have been beneath her to tell the American people what to feed their children.

She needs to shut up and stay at home----"BETHESDA, Md. — First lady Michelle Obama has helped open three new residences for families of ailing U.S. soldiers and veterans in Maryland.
Obama cut the red ribbon Thursday for the Fisher Houses at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. She was flanked by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Ken Fisher of the Fisher House Foundation.
Obama says the homes provide a comfortable place for families who have made a sacrifice for their country.
The residences will provide free lodging for the families of as many as 60 sick and injured service members.
The Rockville-based foundation has built dozens of Fisher Houses at military facilities since 1991.
The new residences are part of the planned move of Walter Reed Army Medical Center from Washington to Bethesda next year."

Beyond showing up to cut the ribbon (probably with an entourage of 70 people), what did she do?

Michelle Obama was very involved in creating Joining Forces.Wonder if there is shopping involved?---“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.” said First Lady Michelle Obama at the launch of a new national initiative called Joining Forces on Tuesday. The initiative provides all Americans with new ways to support and show gratitude to America’s service members and their families. Secretary Duncan, President Obama, Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden joined the First Lady in announcing the new initiative.
By working with communities, non-profits, businesses, charitable organizations and faith based institutions, Joining Forces aims to ensure military families have the education, employment and healthcare support they have earned.
For more information on how you can share messages of thanks, get involved, and share your own story of military service visit joiningforces.gov. You can also watch a video from the First Lady and Dr. Biden announcing the Joining Forces initiative."
