it's probably worth reminding everyone thatregardless of what you thought about her specific performanceher presence on screen wasn't the first time a first lady has taken part in the Hollywood extravaganza.
That honoras far as my Internet sleuthing can findgoes to Laura Bush, who participated in this taped "What do the movies mean to you?" segment for the 74th Academy Awards in 2002.
At least two presidents have also gotten in on the Oscars fun. The first was FDR, who delivered a radio address from the White House during the 13th Academy Awards. [...]
Ronald Reagan also taped his own video message for the 53rd Academy Awards in 1981 (which, you may remember, were actually postponed 24 hours in the wake of an assassination attempt on his life).
Michelle Obama-Oscars: First lady wasn't the first to appear at the Oscars.
Just in case you missed it, or can't read..
This isn't about Obama appearing. I couldn't care less.
I do care that she had Active Duty Military appear in Formal Mess Dress at the request of the Producers of the show.
That is very disrespectful.
Other comments in your thread attacked her for appearing, military or no. I can provide evidence of every administration since photographic evidence appeared, using the military as "props". Do you have ANY idea how many volunteers there would have been?
