Bitter Half Alert: Here she goes again. But don’t you dare breathe a negative word about what she says on the campaign trail, because she’s just a “civilian” whom you should lay off of–and if you don’t you’re a racist, wife-beating brute!
MichelleO, MichelleO, MichelleO:
Michelle Obama mixed a story about how her husband, the Democratic presidential candidate asked her out, with a solemn assessment of U.S. economic and social conditions during a visit to the Denver area Wednesday.
Obama spoke before a crowd of about 150 that paid from $1,000 to $10,000 apiece at a private fundraising dinner at a downtown Denver hotel. She earlier spoke briefly to volunteers for the Democratic National Convention after landing at Centennial Airport in the south-Denver suburb of Englewood…
…”I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did,” Obama said. “Because if we had time for that, then things wouldn’t be so bad right now. Instead, we’re in a place where another four or eight years of the world as it is will devastate the life of some child.”
Four, eight, ten, whatever.
Flashback: P. Diddy already has MichelleO and the children covered. Remember?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Her ego is writting checks that we can’t cash.
Last desperate appeal?
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
WTH is she on?
Her ego is writting checks that we can’t cash.”
They both are.
Would make a great bumper sticker.
Now when Mrs. Obama makes comments like this, what on Earth makes her immune from criticism?
Her assertions are positively inane.
Remember her comment about “hope making a comeback” during her now fantastic remarks about her being proud for the first time of her country?
I would like Mrs. Obama to tell me when hope did not exist in the United States?
She and her husband are self-centered, supercilious snobs who know what’s best for us(or so they think).
Don’t flame me for making the analogy, but I wonder if this crazy exuberance for Obama is similar to the exuberance of the Germans in the 1930s? The analogy is not between the candidates, only what appears to be a blind and irrational enthusiasm by the people.
Moronic communist fools....both of them.
God help us..If barry should be elected, with his stand on abortion, there will be a lot less children to worry about.
This from the $300 K/year job as “outreach coordinator” for a Chicago hospital.
Yup, she’s sure putting out a message of hope there, isn’t she?
Hope making a comeback? Not according to Mrs. Obama.
“It’s for the children” has become a mantra of the left to take away civil rights. It’s used in divorce, custody and the bureaucratic cottage industry that has grown up around sexual/physical abuse claims. It’s used to introduce “Heather Has Two Mommies” and other anti-Christian leftist values in the public education system. It’s also used to take children from families and have them become the property of the state.
I read the other day that she quit that 300K hospital gig/job/sinecure so she’s probably on the Obama campaign payroll now and, therefore, not a `civilian’.
Send this to as many clueless dupes as you might know (or suspect):
“...A group called Bring Us Change has released a video in which children testify about the dire state of the world. “In this time of great despair has come a great gift,” explains a narrator, who appears to be about six or seven years old.
When she says this, the video cuts to a baby opening a copy of The Audacity of Hope, complete with a whispery spirit voice promising a “secret.” The video concludes with one child after another announcing that the secret is—Barack Obama. ..
...Moreover, when God is no longer the measure of man, man—or mankind—becomes the object of worship. (It shouldn’t surprise us that Herbert Croly, the indispensable intellectual of modern liberalism, was literally baptized into Auguste Comte’s “Religion of Humanity,” in which great scientists and statesmen were designated “saints.”)
When there is no power other than “people power,” worship of people power becomes the new faith. Members of the movement worship themselves. Or, in Voegelin’s words, they “build the corpus mysticum of the collectivity and bind the members to form __the oneness__ of the body.”
Or again, in Barack Obama’s words, we quite become the ones we’ve been waiting for. There is where progressivism meets populism.
Populism, after all, is ultimately a form of narcissism in which an individual’s self-regard and self-pity are multiplied by the population of the mob.
My grievances become our grievances, and the satisfaction of grievance is the only true measure of what is right. ..”

The Limits of Hope: Obama is selling heaven, but his product isn’t new

”I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did,” Obama said.
Seems to me she has PLENTY of time to be angry and upset and that she uses that time all day, everyday. If I awoke angry everyday, as she evidently does, I think I’d make some changes in my life - like leaving the democrat party. (If it’s a party, how come they don’t ever have any fun?)
Guess she can't tolerate living in a democracy. Totalitarian regimes are so much more "efficient" on the way to achieving Utopia -they don't tolerate divisions.
