THE OBAMAS PARTICIPATE IN TREE PLANTING CEREMONY

April 23rd, 2009

First Lady Michelle Obama pictured taking off her jacket to help plant a tree in Washington, DC on Wednesday afternoon.

In observance of Earth Day, Mrs. Obama, along with her husband President Barack Obama, participated in the event at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. The event was organized by the Student Conservation Association, an Americorp organization.

Earlier in the day, President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act that intends to more than triple the AmeriCorp volunteers to over 250,000 in the United States costing taxpayers roughly a billion dollars a year, over the next five years. (View more pics below).

    What is the relevance of this “Earth Day” and what makes it “holy” that it has to be “observed”? Very strange and revealing choice of words that are used.

    Show them arms, Michelle! Why they hatin’ talking ’bout first ladies don’t show their arms. That was because before, first ladies’ arms were all wrinkled. Don’t nobody want to see wrinkled arms!!

    @Judah

    Let no man therefore judge you…in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

    So, the relevance of this “Earth Day” and what makes it “holy” is between God and those who chose to celebrate it. Who are you to judge?

    Again, you have exposed yourself! God uses the simple things to confound the foolish. You’ll always be one or two steps behind, Saul.

    Please…always planting somebody’s plants and trees. I guess we’re all now supposed to be planting trees everywhere in a vain effort to “save the planet”? BS!

    What kills me with this country is that the corporations dump tons of toxic waist into the drinking waters, plow down rain forests and other national reserves, burn all types of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere and then give us cancerous toxic cleaning agents for our homes so we can kill ourselves. Then WE need to take responisibilty for what they are doing to the planet. Ok sure.

    I just read an article the other day about how the drug companies are legally dumping over 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into the drinking water. Federal and industry officials dont regularly check the amounts being dumped and dont even know how much more of these drugs are being released into our water. The article said even dilluted amounts of some of the drugs are harmful for the aquatic life and causes human cells to fail to grow.

    Sis, that because the whole thing is a charade and a cover-up to what they’re actually commemorating in their “ceremony”.

    there has to be a negative post. i know it wouldn’t be long. mrs. obama is doing her part little by little. one person can only do so much in so little time. what are you doing but criticizing?

    anyway the first lady looks fab (as usual)!

    She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at agegap dating site ^^^Agelesskiss dot com^^^ last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.

    The whole point of it all is to set an example by doing it yourself. But putting words into action to inspire others to pick up the trend. We are losing our trees. In some places it is a rarity to see something as simple as a tree. Go Michelle!
