President Obama’s main squeeze Michelle gave the movie American Sniper a thumbs up. To me that is very nice to hear that sometimes we get positive and patriotic commentary conversation out of the White House. Patriotism  is what America strong, something we need more of from every citizen.

“While I know there have been critics, I felt that, more often than not, this film touches on many of the emotions and experiences that I’ve heard firsthand from military families over these past few years,” she said. “This movie reflects those wrenching stories that I’ve heard — the complex journeys that our men and women in uniform endure. The complicated moral decisions they are tasked with every day. The stresses of balancing love of family with a love of country. And the challenges of transitioning back home to their next mission in life.”

Today on Super Bowl Sunday I will give Mrs. O a standing ovation for her supportive comments. I definitely would like to see more of them.

Keep the flag flying and the patriotism rolling.
