One would imagine she'd be hosting that event. I'm surprised she deigned to perform any FLOTUS duties.

Is poor Little Lord Barron out of school today or something?

A brief blip on GMA this morning had that, such as a DC United soccer section and a place where there were a bunch of computers setup for kids to play minecraft in addition to the other traditional activities of egg coloring and the like.

Do the kids understand what she's saying? Are they trying to interact with her like she's a Teddy Ruxpin doll or other animatronic? Or are they all too preoccupied playing Minecraft to worry about the weird lady with the book?

Insulted her accent. <Can be perceived as bigotry.

Insulted the attention span of the little ones <Can be perceived as ageist.

That's an odd trophy to be proud of. I'd expect more of you as you should yourself.

Nothing to celebrate.

I'm just calling out my fellow being. But, stubbornness does what it does. And you've degenerated to lashing out and insulting me. What's a schoolmarm?

Stand tall on those bigoted and ageist comments. Go on. I just thought I'd do for you what a real friend should.

but is an Easter egg roll on the WH grounds really a time for kids to be absorbed in computer games? How about encouraging fresh air, sunshine and fellowship? As Michelle would say, "Let's MOVE."
