Colleen Barry: Michelle Obama Lights Candles For US Shooting Victims In Milan’s Duomo Cathedral

Michelle Obama and her elder daughter visited Milan’s Duomo cathedral on Thursday, where an official traveling with her said they lit candles in memory of the victims of the shooting in South Carolina. The first lady and her daughter Malia were seen by photographers entering the Gothic-inspired cathedral on the unannounced stop. Mrs. Obama was dressed in black with dark glasses, while Malia wore a white blouse with black trousers. Mrs. Obama made no comment and issued no statement. Nine people, including the pastor, were killed overnight at a prayer meeting inside a historic black church in downtown Charleston.

Earlier Thursday, Mrs. Obama visited the Expo 2015 World’s Fair in Milan, which focuses on food and nutrition. She found kindred spirits in her campaign to promote healthy eating during visits to the U.S. and the Italian pavilions. Mrs. Obama was greeted by a video image of her husband, President Barack Obama, as she entered the U.S. pavilion, guided by U.S. student delegates to Expo from universities around the United States. She spent some time discussing the vertical garden covering the length of pavilion, which has rotating panels of herbs and vegetables that are engineered to maximize sunlight exposure. Mrs. Obama said the pavilion was “awe-inspiring.” “The most impactful part of it, obviously, is the vertical farm, the largest of its kind. And I couldn’t help but think about all the issues we face around hunger, around food deserts in our countries and places all over the world. And when you walk around this pavilion, you think the solutions are right in our grasp,” Mrs. Obama told some 60 student delegates during a question-and-answer session at the end of the tour.

ObamaCare Means No Longer Living With Perpetual Pain

A simple observation:

I got my bone density test today. I have had serious hip and back pain for over a dozen years. Because I am one of 20% of adult asthmatics who cannot take any NSAID’s, I live in perpetual pain. Self-employed, no insurance until ACA.

I got a bone density test today – no co-pay. Because PBO made even the most basic insurance affordable AND comprehensive.

I’m seeing a chiropractor as well as regular doctors. I need some x-rays so we know how aggressive we can be with exercise and PT. If I need cartillage-building or bone-building therapy, I have insurance. thank you, PBO and Dem’s.

All I want is to be able to run up and down the stairs to do laundry. To clean my house. To have a weekend where I can clean my sewing room, throw fabric in boxes, and feel alive the next day.

I am closer to that because of ACA. Thank you POTUS. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi.

Now let’s sustain this progress and keep the Senate and take back the House.
