Re: The meaning of the word “sacrifice”

Dear First Lady Obama,

It is with some interest that I recently read of your trip to Copenhagen.

It must be very nice to travel anywhere in the world as the First Lady; as the wife of the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States. I’m very curious to know what kinds of luxuries you enjoy in that position? What kinds of things and benefits do you get now, but wouldn’t if you weren’t married to such a man? How do you feel being the beneficiary of another’s efforts (your husband)? How do you feel about receiving so many nice benefits in your position as First Lady, yet it is not an elected position?

And while I do ponder those questions momentarily, when I have little else to do, what really prompts me to write to you today is a most curious statement you made while in Copenhagen. According to news reports, you said that traveling with your “dear friend” and “chit-chat buddy” Oprah Winfrey and being in Copenhagen to promote Chicago as a host Olympic city, was a “sacrifice”.

May I ask what kind of sacrifice? You mean as the wife of the President; as traveling companion and “dear friend” to an entertainment super star (Ms. Winfrey), there was a sacrifice for you to travel, in luxury and style, to the beautiful City of Copenhagen? Could you explain what that word “sacrifice” means to you?

- Does it mean you’ve served in the Armed Forces and gave up your time to defend our country?
- Does it mean that you’re one of the millions of people who have become unemployed because of your husband’s economic policies?
- Does it mean that you’re in foreclosure or need to cut back on the basic necessities because of your husband’s bad economy?

or

- Does it mean you had to go without your $540 Lanvin sneakers (was that the denim or satin version)?
- Does it mean you had to go without your crocodile pocketbook that is estimated to cost $6,000?
- Does it mean you had to go without full access to your staff that costs taxpayers $1.75 million per year?

What does “sacrifice” mean to you Mrs. Obama?

Forgive me for saying this, but you have a really bad attitude. You come across to me, and I suspect to millions of Americans, with a sense of entitlement. As if you deserve those Lanvin sneakers, that pocketbook or your staff that would rival the staff of any CEO in this country.

I look into your eyes and I don’t see a nice person. Your eyes just do not convey a sense of warmth or friendliness. Because when I look into those eyes, I see a mean, angry woman who conveys to me a sense of entitlement only because she is black.

Sacrifice? Mrs. Obama, you really don’t know what that word means, now do you?

I know you wanted to bring attention to your home City of Chicago in its effort to be the host of the Olympic games. And this “sacrifice” quote of yours is definitely attention getting. But for all the wrong reasons. And it will not be forgotten. Much in the same way when you said, back on February 18, 2008: “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country … ”

Now those are words I’ll never forget. Especially in November of 2012. And I have a feeling, Mrs. Obama, that millions upon millions of Americans all over the country, who really do know the meaning of the word “sacrifice” will not forget your words, either.

And on the day after the elections in 2012, when your husband is wondering why he wasn’t re-elected, he’ll only have himself to blame. But he should give you a little “thank you” for that extra help you gave him with such unforgettable words.

Most Sincerely,
Tessler

   Wow, how did I miss hearing her say that? Oh, probably because I do my best to just ignore everything about that narcissistic family…well, except where it relates to my life which would be what the husband does to my country.

   Seriously though, a sacrifice? Yeah, I bet!
