I really hope that Michelle Obama was able to take in Pink's sold-out show at the D.C.-area Patriot Center last night.

Before launching into "Dear Mr. President," Pink showed some love for the current missus: "Let's get political for a second. Since we're near D.C., I have to give a shout-out to Michelle Obama, who has announced that she is officially fur-free. I love an animal-lovin' first lady!"

Even when she's on the road, hard at work, our pal Pink is never too busy to give props to people who are doing their part to protect animals.

Personally I am a vegan and have been since I was about 8 years old. I've been involved in animal rights all my life. I think we should concentrate on congratulating those who have gone one step further in animal rights especially those in the limelight. It may be a terrible thing that those of us who are not in the limelight do not get as much praise for the work we do for animal rights but it is the sad truth that our affect on the population as a whole is far less than those who do less but who are in the limelight. ANY move for animal rights by famous people is a great step in the right direction and we should praise them not condemn them. One step at a time dear friends. It's idiots like Naomi Campbell who use it as a promotion thing who we should condemn. It will take many hundred years before the USA ever has a decent president and first lady but at least these two are a step in the right direction. The USA is finally growing up. xx

One last thought about people who wear fur. They must really be insecure with their looks if they want animals killed for the fur and skin. Obviously wearing fur makes you look like an animal which baffles me. Why do you want to look like an animal? Gee they might as well go roll in some feces and smell like one too if they don't already and complete the circle. IDIOTS!!!!! Perhaps we should allow these humans to be skinned in the same manner so we can make our animals look good in THEIR skin. LOL! People you wear your skin let the animals wear theirs!!!

I LOVE PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MICHELLE FOR HER NOT WEARING FUR AND HAVING A DOG IN THE WHITEHOUSE BO. I JUST WISH MICHELLE BEING SUCH A COMPASSIONATE WOMAN WOULD PROMOTE VEGETARIANISM AS A WAY TO PROMOTE HEALTHY EATING AND BETTER HEALTH FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OF COURSE LESS SUFFERING FOR ANIMALS SINCE ANIMALS SUFFER WHEN WE EAT THEM.

SORRY FOR WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS IT'S ONLSY THAT MY SIGHT IS HORRIBLE. THE THING IS THIS IS O.K FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE U.S.A.HERE IN SPAIN WERE I LIVE WHAT YOU CALL "THE FIRST LADY" HERE'S JUST CALLED THE PRESIDENT'S WIFE AND SHE DOESN'T WEAR FUR. LET'S SEE HERE WEARING FUR IS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT WING PEOPLE. AND IN SPITE OF THE HORRIBLE "CORRIDAS DE TOROS" WHICH I'D LIKE YOU TO KNOW HAS A GREAT GREAT MOMEVEMENT AGAINST CITIZENS IN GENERAL DON'T WEAR FUR. CURIOUS BUT TRUE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN OFFICE IN SPAIN BECAUSE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WORLD AND THERE'S NOT MUCH I CAN DO FROM HERE SPECIALLY BEING AS ILL AND POOR AS I AM. THANKS VERY MUCH. HUGS FOR ALL.
