"Despicable" publicity stunt by the Syrian First Lady

[YoUDeeMan]

"Even as U.S. lawmakers debate the potential use of force against her country's military, Asma al-Assad continues her ceremonial duties as Syria’s first lady. On Wednesday, the @syrianpresidency Instagram feed resumed posts of her for the first time since the apparent chemical attacks of Aug. 21.

NBC News first reported on Assad’s Instagram activities back in July. The U.S. State Department characterized the feed as “nothing more than a despicable PR stunt.” That appears to have fallen on deaf ears. The Syrian government continues to utilize the visual social networking site to show the lighter side of the regime’s activities."

Our State Department, and Obama's PR people, have lost their minds.

So, I guess Michelle Obuttma should be shuttered in and focused purely on the civil wars in Detroit and Chicago. Everything else should be characterized as a despicable publicity stunt.

I think Obama is striking out at Assad because Assad's wife is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better looking than Michelle.

The PR spin on everything by our government truly is sickening.

I need to have a beer with Spandos.

Indeed... that's comparing prime trim with a primate... not fair at all.

Mrs. Assad feeds Syrian schoolchildren. Moochelle starves American schoolchildren.
