What Michelle Obama didn't tell the Olympics Committee
The American Thinker ^ | October 03, 2009 | Ethel C. Fenig

While Michelle Obama fruitlessly pimped (oh ok, shilled, promoted) her corrupt, broke and now nationally known violent, native town, as a site for the 2016 Olympics, for the first time in her life she was seemingly proud of it.

Her neighborhood

"of working families -- families with modest homes and strong values.Sports were what brought our community together. They strengthen our ties to one another."

It was also, and still is, a relatively high crime neighborhood. It is a testimony to Michelle and her parents that she emerged relatively unscathed except with a huge, but somewhat understandable, chip on her shoulder. Many of the proposed venues for the games would be in or near her old neighborhood she noted, which is also not far from her former employer, the University of Chicago, an institution, which for some reason never reached out to her as a "promising student" as she once whined.

She continued her plea.

That may be true but if it was the speech writer he or she will catch holy hell

I just hope Beck Limbaugh Levin Hannity get all over the story

“When making up a story, you’d check the facts just to cover your rear. They’re not just liars, but incompetents as well.”

I believe they wrote it on purpose, left it in the speech on purpose, because they knew it would sound good and they’d never get called on it. Just like the Clintons. The only reason Hillary got called out on her “flying in under hostile fire” comment was because the State Run Media had already decided Obama was their man.

It’s a Getty image - which is not allowed on FR.

And to state she’d “Take no prisoners!” Ultimate classy. That look in the above photo is the same hateful one she shot at Carla Bruni - has she not even learned in the past 2 years that there is ALWAYS a camera on her, or does she just not care to try to hide her hatred of whitey?
