Michelle Obama Wants You!

By Michelle Malkin  •  January 12, 2009 03:34 PM

Michelle Obama’s latest e-mail call to arms just landed in my e-mailbox. Looks like another way for Team Obama to sign up potential donors for new money-grubbing opportunities — under the guise of “public service,” of course:

Inaugural Committee
Friend –

One week from today, on January 19th, Barack and I will join thousands of people all across the country for an extraordinary day of service.

I recorded a short video to tell you more about this important effort. Please take a minute to watch it and sign up to host or attend a service event near you.

Here’s the vid. While I was watching it, my five-year-old son complained: “Mommy, that’s annoying me.” I know how he feels.

Here’s the new website Michelle’s pimping: Click.

Perhaps it would have been a better idea to make the “Day of Service” the day after the inauguration, so Obama cultists could pitch in and clean up the Capital after all the partying is over.

I can guarantee you: It’s going to be a complete mess.

    What would have made that video funny is a large hand entering into view and slapping her across the face.

    yeah.. now that would have been a gut buster.

    Ronald Reagan’s remarks on signing the bill creating a national holiday honoring MLK:

    So, each year on Martin Luther King Day, let us not only recall Dr. King, but rededicate ourselves to the Commandments he believed in and sought to live every day: Thou shall love thy God with all thy heart, and thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.

    HOW DARE he ask us to love our neighbors when we ALREADY love our neighbors. Who does he think he is!?!

    PS: Michelle Obama did NOT create the National Day of Service. It was passed by congress in 1994 to coincide with the MLK national holiday.

    PPS: Anyone heard of the “Take Pride in America” initiative, started by Reagan?

    During his 1986 State of the Union address, President Ronald Reagan asked all Americans to share in the responsibility of protecting our public lands by lending their skills, resources and volunteer labor. During 1989 to 1993, Take Pride in America successfully engaged individuals nationwide in efforts to preserve and protect our natural resources and open spaces.

    hmmmmmmm…

    I wouldn’t lift a finger for any of their causes. Actually, I would lift one finger … you can guess which finger I am lifting.

    A side note, I cannot stand to look at that woman. Every time I see her I hear in my head the line delivered by Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack: “Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.”

    Sounds like a great idea – get out their and “serve” – just like Michelle and Barry have “served” (and become rich as a result).

    Just one problem: some of us have to WORK for a living that day.

    I wonder how many of those groups have gone to katrina,midwest flood,Florida areas in their times of need?

    I wonder how many are Faith based?
    note: afrocentrism is not a faith

    I wonder how many donated to obambi’s campaign…….

    Dear First Baby Momma not elect,

    Perhaps you would have been proud a few more times in your adult life if you had any idea how many Americans already do what you think we don’t and need you to ask us to. Why don’t you give us a few examples of how you have done such service? ops no chari-tay without pay!!
    How about your annual charitable contributions, surely they would be inspiring to all? oh what you don’t do that either? hm okay gosh Mememechelle just why is it you think this a good thing for you to lead on anyway?

    I wonder when this “Day of Service to our Dear Leader” will become mandatory? If you don’t put in your “volunteer service” does that mean consequences, like tax surcharge or refused drivers’ license renewal? They are already talking about “volunteer service” for HS students to graduate, I hear.

    Yes, we have. Ironic in light of Michelle Obama not having any pride in America until recently, isn’t it?

    Michelle Obama did NOT create the National Day of Service.

    From the video at the :45 mark-

    “Please volunteer in your community as part of our ‘Renew America Together’ initiative.”

    So never mind the fact that this had been put in place by a Republican Majority Congress: The Obamas are going to step forward and claim this as their own.

    She tries to sound all soft and nice and kumbayah but she can’t seem to get rid of that angry, do what I say or I’ll be pi**ed look in her eyes and that scowl on her forhead.

    And like Robert537 said, most of us are working. It’s a Monday.
    This is one of things I dread most about the next 4 yrs. Having to look at her every day.

    In a few short years, I’ll collect my SS checks, retirement and go to Wal-Mart as a greeter. I’ll let you “young uns” do all the volunteering. My volunteering will be helping the Mrs. around the house and spoiling the g-kids, as usual.

    Excellent idea there. And when those grandkids are a little older you can tell them stories about “I remember the summer of ‘96″. Obama’s bitter half won’t be around forever-we hope :)

    That’s one scary looking woman. That picture looks like something I’d show my kids to threaten them into behaving – “The Obama-monster’s gonna gitcha if’n ya dont behave.”
    I apologize for getting personal which I dont usually do, but I’m fed up with this bunch and they’re not even in office yet.

    I thought these people were ‘christian’? If I remember my Bible correctly, I’m pretty sure Jesus said something about serving quietly of your own free will, and not standing on the street blowing trumpets whilst you put a penny in a box. Lookit me! I’m ‘volunteering’!!

    A true volunteer is like my wife. One who will scrub the toilets if that is what is necessary. I am tired of all the phoney volunteers like Ms Kennedy who have no guts, but want the glory of thinking they are a good person.

    I agree. There’s something about her eyes, her brow and how she sets her jaw when she talks that appear menacing.
    It’s not her fault, but she could work to soften her look maybe with a nice hairdo with bangs and a cute barette.
    :D

    MM: Your cynicism never ceases to amaze me.

    I’m sure you could find a way to criticize Michelle Obama for rescuing a baby from a burning building.

    I’d just be happy if she saved one from a slow death in a broom closet, but I’m sure her husband wouldn’t let her.

    I volunteer..Michelle O is disengenuous,dishonest, and despicable, so I volunteer to view her First Ladyship the same way she viewed Laura Bush’s, disrespectfully. I volunteer to NOT show up anywhere where she and her Marxist husband happen to be. I volunteer to have ODS the same way liberals have BDS. I volunteer to write letters to the editor showing the bias and hypocrisy of the Obamas and the MSM.
    This is all political opportunism!

    Listening to her, you’d think Americans never heard of the word service nor are currently doing any.
    Are the myriad groups and people who already do plenty of community service supposed to contact her so their activities can be reassigned under her and Barack’s banner?
