It's a 'sacrifice' to travel to Europe to pitch for the Olympics. But I'm doing it for the kids.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."
Oh hell yes...
She leaves the plush and privileged environment of the White House, flies by taxpayer provided private helicopter to the airport and then gets on a taxpayer provided luxury jetliner and jets off to Copenhagen, where the red carpet is laid out at the taxpayer paid-for hotel with all the trimmings.
Such sacrifice.
She is accompanied by a gaggle of private handlers, advisers, and hired help of all kinds. In Cleopatra's day, they were called "slaves".
