  Michelle Obama Serves Soup, Nation Misses the Point

  I am greatly concerned by the apparent curmudgeonliness of several of your contributors.
  First: Mrs Obama does not need to score Brownie Points with voters at this time. Mr. O. is already in the White House!  
  Second: She can only "lead" by example.
  Third: any fool can recognise this as no more than a "gesture", yet other fools can always find something negative to say about this scenario, that only impresses an equally simple mind. But the mind boggles at the focus on a cell-phone photographer when these phones are found on the hips of most teen-agers. The people who lost their jobs last month (and the months before) are not the "homeless". They once belonged to the productive sector of the US economy.
  Fourth: It is noteworthy that some of the "customers" were wearing suits. Apparently the desperate situation of many citizens has not been appreciated by some of your contributors who, not only possess computers, but can continue to fund their ISP expenses! This does not provide license to scoff at cell-phone subscribers seeking to find re-employment assisted by use of said implement.
  
  Finally: It is my fervent hope that not all "Conservatives", fed on a daily diet of "Fox"(es) and "Limbaughers", will begin to think for themselves, to abandon the unacceptable and exploitative aspects of Capitalism and, in doing so, embrace the significant American "Underclass" that includes that 45 million of their fellow Americans who have no access to health care.
