This probably tops the list of ” things that no one is actually saying “:
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.”
On behalf of the children and a grateful nation, I would like to thank America’s First Lady for her sacrifice.
(Oh, and thanks to you too Mrs. Obama.)
