Barack and Michelle Obama Thanksgiving hypocrisy hit an all time high this year.
One day after gorging along with “undisclosed” guests on a traditionalThanksgiving dinner replete with “turkey, ham, stuffing and plenty on the side” (New York Times) and also “going heavy on the pies” (pecan, pumpkin, peach, sweet potato cream and huckleberry) Barack and Michelle Obama, reverted to the activists they really are, putting in a personal appearance at the Fast For Families group in a tent on the National Mall.
From December 1st-3rd, thousands of people will join the days of fasting for a day to be part of the Fast for Families in an effort to urge Congress to pass new immigration laws—”NOW!”
No one heard the strains of Booker T and the M.G.’s famed instrumental Green Onions when Barack Obama was handing out small bags of onions at the Capital Area Food Bank in northeast Washington on Thanksgiving Eve. Ditto when Michelle was giving out carrots.
“Their daughters, Sasha, 12, and Malia, 15, were responsible for the apples and M &M’s (the latter in boxes bearing the presidential seal.” (NYT).
“Marian Robinson, Mrs. Obama’s mother, gave out recipes for a sweet potato curry.”
(Paper recipes don’t do much to fill hungry bellies).
And small bags of onions, carrots and M&M’s in boxes bearing the presidential seal were just part of the circus.
“On Thanksgiving Day, Obama, clad in a white T-shirt and a grey V-neck sweaterphoned 10 members of the military from the Oval Office to offer them thanks.” (New York Daily News, Nov. 28, 2013).
