I got this in an email today.
Re: A question that was asked of me today; "Hey Michelle... How are you?

Are you sure you want to know?
We're doing pretty good considering that we now have a man who was once described as the "most liberal senator in American history" in the White House.
Everyone says that we shouldn't criticize him but should give him some time. It's funny to me how its these same people who didn't give President Bush any such grace period. These are also the same people who said that criticism of Bush was patriotic.
Obama should be subject to the same criticism experienced by other presidents. FGS...He's the President of the United States!! Shouldn't we hold him to the highest standards?
But don't worry I'll support the president. I've decided that I am going to use the same absurd sayings that were used about the war when it was said, "I support the military but not the mission" and change mine to "I support the president but not his policies" By turning it around I'll be able to illustrate just how empty their support for our troops really was.
I guess that I should just be more positive or maybe pledge to smile more often like Demi Moore. Maybe that will help me ignore the fact that since Obama took office...
Our stocks have sank even lower than they were before.
That he signed an executive order which will lead to the closing of Gitmo. What I want to know is where will they put these guys? Do we move them to AMERICAN soil? Where, with their ACLU lawyers they may get them off on a technicality, only to be released to grow the sleeper cells already here? These men are TERRORISTS, period. They do not belong here on our soil.
Next, he signed an executive order repealing the ban on funding international groups that provide abortions. Great!! Now even more of my tax dollars will be used to support abortions. Not to mention the fact, that with the strike of a pen, all hospitals are now required to participate in abortion procedures, many of which will no longer require parental consent, or be forced to shut down.
Wow!! That's real change that we can all believe in!!!
However, last night was the final straw when I heard a guy on the radio describe Obama as being a selfless individual (ha! as if any politician really is) who only wants to "elevate" all Americans." I don't want him or anyone else to ELEVATE ME!! I can do that myself, thank you very much!! The only thing I want my president to do is keep me safe and keep his sticking hands out of my pockets!!
Sorry but you asked how I was (lol!) and that's my honest answer. :)
