I will first say I am a fan of Michelle Obama. I think her husband is a stand up guy. So my opinion here is not politically or partisan or in any such way motivated. My motivation is this: Of all the god forsaken shit her mom and dad have to deal with how can they seriously entertain this question from their daughter? And then the starry-eyed media picks this up like it deserves serious consideration.
"How will we save the tigers, daddy?" I imagine even a patient mom or dad in their situation replying, "Well, hon, I need to try to get this nut job Bin Laden from convincing more people to strap bombs to their chests...oh and then I should probably head over to Iran to cool the nuclear jets on that guy and then there's that whole health care thing...but yeah, I'll get to the tigers..."
At this point, even in my household where we do not have the responsibility of or access to any type of key and button that could blow up the world and where for the most part we aren't heavily guarded from people trying to shoot us if my kid asked that question I would point to the sign hanging in the kitchen. It reads, "Life is not fair!" This is where I refer many of my childrens' inquiries or complaints.
The one thing that hit me hardest in this article though was the question that Michelle dodged. "What can you do to extend recess?" Oh, hahaha, laugh, laugh. Well, just yesterday all y'alls big fat asses not being active was a huge concern of mine but I'll just laugh off that valid question and get on to my daughter's tiger worries. Maybe she meant Tiger Woods and this story was relayed all wrong. Now there's a different angle. That is something I'd want to read about.
"The Obamas save Tiger..."
