"There Isn't A One-Shot Solution To This"

I beg to differ!
MARTIN: Well, before we let you go — and just a couple of other issues in the news we wanted to ask you about — and we really do appreciate the opportunity to talk with you. We’ve been spending a lot of time, as you might imagine, covering the aftermath of the death of Trayvon Martin. And your, you know, husband made the point that if he — if you and he had a son, he would probably look like Trayvon Martin. And you can imagine that this has been a particularly painful episode for a lot of people in this country. We’ve been hearing that there are parents of all backgrounds who find this story troubling, but then now we also hear that there are people who find this whole issue divisive. And I wanted to ask if you feel that there’s something we could learn from this that might be healing to the country. Is there a way to talk about this that might be constructive or helpful for the country?
MRS. OBAMA: Well, you know, first, I — all I can say is that, you know, my heart goes out to the parents, because we all as parents understand the tragedy of that kind of loss, and I think that’s really the thing that most people connect to. And it’s important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that’s grieving and there’s been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.
Talking is good. Conversations have to be forever. You know, they can’t come in spits and starts when there’s an incident. I think we all need, as a country, to continue to talk about these issues, to understand our communities and the challenges that we face, which are different and unique depending upon where you live. It’s all about, you know, continuing to get to know ourselves in a very diverse and complicated country that is America. It is a wonderful place to live. But because it is so diverse, our challenges are complex. So there isn’t, you know, a one-shot solution to this. It is complicated. It takes time. It takes openness. It takes compassion. It takes patience. And it takes a lot of work. So we should all be ready to roll up our sleeves and keep doing that work.
~smh~
These people really are box-of-hammers dumb.
Remember when Moosechelle said that this was the first time she was proud to be an American. Now she’s preaching how beautiful the country is( as long as you keep the crackers in their place)
That hospital must have been SO SATISFIED with their $300K/yr Wookie investment plan. That’s corruption at its finest.
She isn’t -—you know-—a —you know—brain surgeon.
The Trayvon situation was solved with one shot.
Statements like this crack me up as well:
“It takes compassion. It takes patience. And it takes a lot of work. So we should all be ready to roll up our sleeves and keep doing that work.”
All they do is talk. And their words, the way they are strung together, have absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Just talk for the sake of talk.
No doubt they were. After all, that $300,000+ bribe to the Illegal and Moochelle got a $1,200,000 earmark from the Ilegal for Moochelle’s employer. Four to one in less than a year is a great, Mafia grade, ROI.

What is smh?
Something about her calling America a very "complicated" country stuck in my craw. Just another look at what Michelle thinks of this wonderful country.
Shaking my head?
At least that’s what I was doing when I read the article.
I can’t believe her handlers weren’t smart enough to have Michelle memorize a nice, smooth, loving albeit innocuous answer. With the exception of her comments about Trayvon’s family, the rest of her little speech was a bunch of gibberish with the sole purpose of not offending anybody.
Thank you. I’ve seen people using it in comments in news articles and on Facebook. I had no idea what they were talking about.
