Michelle Obama says change takes time, urges four more years
Reuters ^ | Sept. 4, 2012

(Reuters) - First lady Michelle Obama acknowledged on Tuesday that the change her husband Barack Obama sought in his White House campaign four years ago has proven difficult but urged voters to give him another term to fix the weak U.S. economy.

"He reminds me that we are playing a long game here, and that change is hard, and change is slow, and it never happens all at once," she told the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. "But eventually we get there. We always do," she said.

No thanks, Michelle. We’ve seen the kind of ‘change’ he wants, and want no part of it!

I really wanted Anne Romney to say that she has always been proud of her country—just a little ding at the Mooch, but she didn’t.

>> Fast forward to December 2012. The Messiah gets re-elected. Michelle says, “I was wrong, change will take 40 years. Let’s just forget about another election.” <<

Why not? Chicago Democrats have already had 70 years over absolute power over the city and the only "change" they've produced is record high crime rates and corruption.

"That dress, or whatever it is, looks awfully informal."

I thought it was a "boring" outfit that should be worn during "a hospital visit" and not to a speech for the world. Hint: Princess Kate Middleton.

Charles Krauthammer called Michelle Obama’s address a “brilliant speech” but he “didn’t buy a line of it.” He “Doesn’t Want to Hear ‘One More Story About People Walking 8 Miles in the Snow Without Shoes, Uphill, Both Ways’.” I think he nailed it. To hear his comments about Michelle’s speech, watch this:

Cracks me up how the sheeple buy into it without even asking WHAT ‘CHANGE’ MEANS!

she says how she and Obama never be-grudged anyone their success

Would that thought even enter the mind of a normal American? Especially a person so well of and in a position so much in the public eye?

As a reliable indicator of what democrats really think, of what hideous thoughts and actions are really driving them, we need to look no further than their own words.

If they are denying something, rest assured the truth is the exact opposite.

And if they accuse a person of an unsavory or illegal thought, act, or deed we can be sure that they are trying to project their own disgusting behavior onto someone else.

They are generally quite evil, but almost always transparently so.

RE :”They are generally quite evil, but almost always transparently so.

MO only cares about the children and the veterans and Obama has no thoughts for himself, only helping others, they are saints...black saints...they wont leave anyone behind...we are all in this together ...( some pay and some get, some pull the cart and some ride in it, but we are all in this together, kind of.)

Michelle never mentioned anyone having to pay for all this. It was all hard work and making it and helping others...I dont think the IRS is that compassionate.

RE :”Obama is everything, he is the soul, the nerve
The hope and the reality of the American people
We all know that there is only one man in our movement
With his own source of light
We all feed from his light, and that is Obama

That is well put, my version is :

MO only cares about the children and the veterans and Obama has no thoughts for himself, only helping others which is why she loves him, they are saints...black saints like the Cosby's...they wont leave anyone behind...we are all in this together ....
Hard work and helping others...no matter what we look like...the children and veterans....
We can't do it without Barrack. He will do it for us because he loves us. We are all in this together, Barrack won't leave any of us behind. He must have 4 more years in charge so he can finish fixing the country moving forward and saving us....he is our only hope. Brains, must eat brains....

a good muzzcomm realizes that fundamentally changing anything takes time...of course, being as though the citizenry isnt responsible for anything theyve created, the change should be at shovel ready speed...

if i believe both theories, does that mean that...B [drool] R-AINS ...

Just pray that the Ohaha Team stays clueless-—that they keep on thinking fang-toothed, snarling Michelle is the campaign’s “secret weapon”.
