Michelle Obama, Jill Biden To Attend Game 1 Of World Series

WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama will attend Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

Mrs. Obama's office announced Tuesday that she will be joined at Yankee Stadium by the vice president's wife, Jill Biden.

Major League Baseball is dedicating Game 1 to veterans and their families. Both Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden spend time visiting with military families and talking about the sacrifices they make for the country.

Earlier Wednesday, Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden are scheduled to join New York Yankees players when they visit patients at a veterans' medical center in the Bronx.

I hope they take some military children with them to the game. That would be a more fitting way to raise awareness and would surely make the kids smile.

[CheekySpoon]

I'm jealous. I wanna go!

[rain33]

yeah me too coz i want to see michelle and jill eating popcorn or snacking on hot dogs. man i am jealous now!

[jennylynn]

Are we going to do another comparison like we did on who looked better in the belt?
Biden wins hands down for appearance.

[johnnygoodwud]

can i sit between them at the game?

[rain33]

yeah what about me?

[Brezzydee]

I have been watching Morning Joe this morning. Not one word about these two great ladies attending the game representing the veterans families. It's all about Mika and some basketball stars. What a priority.

Now how can someone find anything negative to say about this..10, 9, 8, 7, ........

[MakersMark]

Yep, see JennyLynn above.

Some people always try to make there be some fight about Michelle and Jill. They are always trying to make it look as though Jill looks so much better than Michelle. Sweetie, it's a matter of opinion. Michelle can wear the damn belt if she wants to, leave her alone, she's the first lady of these United States.

I think they both look great!

I would love to hear Alan Grayson (D. Fla.) describe these two.

[listentome]

I love Michelle and Jill together.

[3Dubyadot]

Now that is an odd couple.

[db08]

not at all...two beautiful and intelligent women.

[makeanimpact]

The first and second lady seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company. Can anyone remember whether this happened in previous administrations?

[Gretel1or2]

I'm not sure, but it could have been possible.

1. Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush
2. Barabara Bush and Mrs. Quayle
3. Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore
4. Laura Bush and Mrs. Cheney
5. Michelle Obama and Jill Biden.

[DTGinSTL]

I've always heard that Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush weren't too keen about each other.

[xlntcat]

They are both exceptionally attrative, personable women. Mrs. Biden is shyer than Mrs Obama but I would like to see more of her.
