First Lady Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, to appear together at 9/11 memorial ceremony

First Lady Michelle Obama and former First Lady Laura Bush will join officials in a ceremony on September 11, 2010
at the future site of the United Flight 93 memorial.

Both will deliver speeches at the event. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell will also attend.

Flight 93, originally aimed for Washington, D.C., crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pa. on 9/11. Forty passengers and crew were lost.

"We are deeply honored to welcome First Lady Michelle Obama, Mrs. Laura Bush and all of our guests to this important event," said Neil Mulholland
of the National Park Foundation, which is hosting the event. "Their show of support honors the lives and memories of these 40 heroes and
everyone we lost on September 11th, and serves as a valuable reminder of how important this memorial is to preserve and share their story."

1. That is really nice. It's been a largely forgotten site that should be
recognized. Good for them.

7. It is time for the country to be more united...
...again. This extreme polarization is not good for us or our future. I hope this action helps toward that goal. :patriot:

4. Wow! Laura Bush never took a vacation on tax payer money. I didn't know

that. What a gal! And, of course, she shouldn't have taken one
tax payer dime, since her hubby stole the election.  Class
act!  High five.

3. Reportedly, Laura will be wearing sofa upholstery,
so we'll be able to tell them apart.

5. Nothing against Laura Bush...
Hmm, I really don't have anything against Laura Bush. She was fairly low key (or so I thought) as a first lady. W was enough.

6. same here.
I may have jumped on some wagons to bash her during the peak times of Chimperor hate, but looking back that was wrong. I mean, look at what she has to live and deal with. She never struck me as evil, as her mother in law and the rest of the bush family does. They are EVIL.
