Um…who is saying that? Have the lefty bloggers been complaining that Michelle Obama has to make such a sacrifice as traveling to Copenhagen? Maybe it’s her support staff? I know righty bloggers have been complaining about the president leaving in the middle of the crisis with Iran but I haven’t heard of anyone complaining that it was a “sacrifice:”

In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her “dear friend” and “chit-chat buddy” Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow’s visit by President Obama, is a “sacrifice” on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. “As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,” the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, “so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.”
