The Absolutely Stunning First Lady Michelle Obama
This may be the greatest political speech I've ever heard - the poise and sincerity, the substantive issues mentioned, her smile, the delivery. Before I predicted that Obama would win by a landslide against Romney, now I'm adding something else: Michelle Obama in 2016.

She's gonna need another multi-million dollar vacation after all that.

She grates my nerves worse than Obama, on so many levels. Both of them will be sent home on the tail of a Romney landslide this November and good riddance.
ReplyDeleteSome people's racism is so deep that The First Lady grates on their nerves no matter how intelligent and pretty and sensible she is.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that most white folks who suffer from some racism inherited from their parents and grandparents will be won over by someone like her.
That's easy, because he can't run on his record.....
DeleteRemember AOBO 2012
Any One But OBAMA
You voted for him in 2008 to prove you weren't racist, now vote for any one else to prove you're not stupid.
You have a lot of balls to infer me being racist Mike, apparently you know absolutly nothing about me or who I am.
DeleteI dont care what color or what sex she is. She is an idiot that does not deserve to be in the white house. Neither does Obama. Her comment that "its the first time she was proud to be an American" because her husband got elected was the first thing that did it for me.
The next was the comment "all this for a damn flag??" was another during a flag folding event that happens to mean things to true Americans, Mike. She is the racist, she is very un-American as well as her husband. The both of them is the shame of America and need to be sent home now.
Mikeb said: "no matter how intelligent and pretty and sensible she is."
DeleteBecause she can read a speech doesn't make her intelligent, pretty or sensible. Oh, but she got booty.
Here's an example of her sensibility:

Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do?
Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon:
The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.
Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!"
Cowbells were rung. Somebody put a lei of marigolds around Obama's neck. The first lady picked up a straw basket and headed for the "Farm at Sunnyside" tent, where she loaded up with organic Asian pears, cherry tomatoes, multicolored potatoes, free-range eggs and, yes, two bunches of Tuscan kale. She left the produce with an aide, who paid the cashier as Obama made her way back to the limousine.
There's nothing like the simple pleasures of a farm stand to return us to our agrarian roots.
You betcha, I must be a racist.

Inexplicable Obama hate = racism. That's my theory.
DeleteYou call it inexplicable because you can't understand how anyone could rationally disagree with you.
DeleteFirst off, Mike, does your theory include the posibility that I may be black? Second, you dont think black people may just hold the view that the Obama's are complete idiots and racists???
DeleteInexplicable Obama love = moron. That's my theory.

Mikeb, why must you always bring in race? I find the obsession with the candidates' wives to be a waste of time. The man who delivers my mail doesn't bring a first lady with him. I don't bring along a first lady when I teach my classes. We're interviewing candidates for a job. Quit buying into the schmaltz and hype.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you ignore it, Greg. It's the elephant in the room.
DeleteThe "inexplicable" part is not that it disagrees with me, but that the intensity of the sentiment is over the top.
"She is an idiot that does not deserve to be in the white house." Case in point. Your buddy from Texas thinks the highly intelligent, Harvard educated, and well-spoken Michelle Obama is an "idiot."
Well educated does not preclude one from being a total idiot! Educated in what? The destruction of America? To re-make it in their own image while ignoring constitutional laws that are in place to prevent just this very thing? They are total idiots and racists Mike. And being very well educated just makes it worse.
DeleteThere are several on here that SEEM to be well educated, that still doesn't preclude them from being total idiots either. Education is great, how you use it is totally different thing altogether.
Educated idiots, the both of them!
Harvard also conferred a degree on George W. Bush, so you may want to rethink using that as a standard. In over a decade of teaching in college, I've seen lots of idiots slide through for all kinds of reasons.
DeleteI don't have an opinion about Michelle Obama. Spouses of politicians are none of my business, unless they take an active role in public policy. I actually liked Bill Bradley's wife when she said that if her husband got elected president, she'd keep her professorship. Good for her. But I don't participate in the celebrity game that so much of our politics has become.
On the question of race, I wish to ignore the subject much of the time because it's pointless. Constantly yammering about it annoys people who disagree with you, gives people on your side an unjustified feeling of superiority, and enhances the feeling of victimization held by minorities. None of that accomplishes anything.
Mikeb, do you have access to Obama's college records? Many folks would like to see proof of Obama's high level of intelligence - at least on the academic level. If I was as frickin' smart as people claim him to be, I'd show off my gold stars and not spend $2 million to hide them from the world.

What's your point, Orlin, that he's stupid and she's an idiot?

DeleteDing, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, Yeaaaaaah!!!!!!!! , ya got it in one Mikey, now go get yourself a cookie..... good boy, now go sit in a corner and let the adults decide this election....
Obama does not want his College transcripts exposed because, it would show that he is not that smart, and he claimed foreign student status on in his admissions.
