File this one

under the "you've got to be shitting me" section.
In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her "dear friend" and "chit-chat buddy" Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow's visit by President Obama, is a "sacrifice" on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. "As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days," the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, "so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home."
Let's see... you fly to Europe on the taxpayer's dollar. I'm sure she's not staying in the Motel 6. I'm sure she's not eating at the usual "affordable" locations. (at least affordable for those of us normal people) You get to hang out with all the "in" crowd in Copenhagen. And that's some sort of..... sacrifice? spit spit spit.

Jesus Christ these people have no shame.
