7Don't want to see another person from this administration on the show. They don't support the mission, nor do they understand it. Stop the politicizing. Shukran, Dani
Keep the politics out of the show. The current administration does not support the mission and gives time lines. Biden is ridiculous. Please do not do this again. Shukran, Dani
Disappointed in the episode with Jill Biden. Keep the politics out of this show. Biden is a nightmare and as far as the first lady being so supportive of the war effort, she's too busy taking vacations. Also you can't support the troops and not the mission, or give a timeline. Keep the current administration out of this show,please. Shukran, Dani
I find it amazing that she and Michelle Obama are working to raise awareness for military families, given that since Obama took office the military has experienced the lowest pay raises they have ever gotten. As a military wife I can't wait to see her on the show, but I think hey should 'work a little harder'
I think the article should read that the first lady is trying to work with her. Dr. Biden does more work just not in front of cameras, but the first lady only does good work when cameras are rolling. I can;t wait to see Dr. Biden..said allenby
Cool. Good 4 her !
I am so thrilled to hear this!
