folks, if you follow this comedy blog
then you know that we like the colbert report
and... that the colbert report likes us
with the general election fight now well underway
first lady michelle obama jokingly offered her official
- on-air endorsement last friday night
to the colbert report
but is spite of that, as he does, colbert went right at her
during his face-to-face interview of the president's wife
'do you lord over the president the fact that you're more
popular than he is, do you ever say things like
...hey, watch it or I might not campaign for you'
'i might try that when I get home' mrs. obama quipped
the first lady's appearance on colbert, her first since
the 2008 campaign, was intended to promote the
one-year anniversary of her joining forces initiative
which honors and supports US troops and their families

'we've seen people hiring our veterans and finding wonderful

'but until we get to zero, we still have a lot of work to do
these people are bringing in skills that actually improve
the bottom line of companies, because these are some of
the most highly trained, highly skilled, disciplined people
that we have in our society, the best this country has to offer'

colbert joked that hiring a veteran is also a good idea
because 'with the stories they tell of their previous job
- it really makes any interoffice complaining sound trivial'
so the next time you start whining about how hard work is
or - well, almost anything you whine about
think about our men and women in uniform
and the sacrifice that their families are making
- it's no fun serving our country - it's dangerous and it sucks
but they do it everyday, thank GOD
