“Around our country, President Bush and I meet with your families. We meet with families who make such a huge sacrifice in service to our country. In military hospitals, we meet with soldiers who've been wounded in combat. From our troops and your families, the President and I hear the same request: that we honor the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform by seeing your mission through. They ask the American people to stand with our troops. I'm here to tell you that the American people stand with our troops.

“And no matter what you might read in the newspaper, people do appreciate the gift of freedom,’’ the first lady told the troops.

1. Yep, even if you have to kill those ingrates to give them the gift

Right, Pickles? Spoken like a true sociopath.

[TwilightGardener]

2. WTF? Once again insinuating that opposition to the war means we're INGRATES for their service.

Burn in hell, you bitter old boozehound.

3. freedom isn't a gift

it is a reward for social diligence
which has been taken from us because our diligence lapsed.

[Kermitt Gribble]

8. That is a powerful statement - great post!

[Sparkly]

4. I'll note that for my Christmas list this year.

:eyes:

5. Is that why the retarded monkey

and the retarded monkey's wife is working on taking away Americans' Freedom? Because they appreciate it so much?

Get a different speech writer, joker..that one sux.

6. Oh dear those liberal newspapers,

With all the republican owners. Do tell. Poor Laura. Does she think the people in the country are stupid.

[lunatica]

7. What newspaper

are the troops reading that claims there are people who don't appreciate the gift of freedom?

:silly:

[VenusRising]

9. The problem is...

they are re-gifting Americans' freedoms to make it happen.

[terisan]

10. Beware of Greeks ( or oil-hungry foreigners) bearing gifts...as went Troy, so goes Iraq. nt

11. Laura, why don't you just go get some botox and STFU!

[blogslut]

12. I must have a hearing problem

No matter what that woman says, it always sounds like:

"Let them eat cake"

[spanone]

13. yes those newspapers that gave your hubby cover when lying to the american people, those???

[Cheap_Trick]

14. hey pickles

why not do something constructive, like running over your current beau with a car. otherwise, keep your joker-like mouth shut.

[mondo joe]

15. Since when is freedom a GIFT anyway? I thought it was a RIGHT.

[bdamomma]

16. Laura lives in the same bubble as her bubble headed husband.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. First, LIAR! And second, she is just arrogant and condescending as her other half.

They deserve each other but we and the World don't deserve too be harassed by them.

18. Wouldn't it be nice if we and the Iraqis actually had some?
