CHARLOTTE—First Lady Michelle Obama never once mentioned Mitt Romney's name. But in her speech before the Democratic National Convention speech Monday night, she offered a dramatic contrast between her husband, Barack Obama, and his Republican opponent, insisting he understands the struggles of average Americans because he's lived through those tough times, too.

"Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love," Michelle Obama said. "He believes that when you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed."

He’s “living the American dream”, that is why we must use confiscatory taxes to punish the successful because Old Money resents New Money.

Pretty sad that for one to live an American dream requires a whole nation to live a nightmare.

- Tonight, Michelle Obama took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to deliver an impassioned defense of her incompetent husband. It didn’t focus on his record. It focused on his feelings.

The American Dream is not just for public sector union jobs.

For her ignorant target audience..it was a good speech.

I spent a lot of time thowing my house shoes at the tv.

I heard part of Harry Reid’s speech on the radio on the way home. That man lies so much I couldn’t take it.

I really think it is important to listen to the opposing side. But I won’t make it thru this whole convention.

I want to...but... I... just... can’t

The Obamas’ idea of the American dream is the Bizarro version, unrecognizable to regular, hard working, patriotic Americans:

Everything is handed to them by the government and paid for by real taxpayers.

Their way is paved by Affirmative Action.

They are accustomed to receiving favored treatment because of their black skin.

They are held to lower standards than the norm because they are black skinned.

They are given “credit” for meaningless “life experience” in order to pad their records.

Their heads are pumped full of politically correct mush to build false self esteem.

They are protected from criticism and the rigors of a normal life by their black skin.

Anyone who criticizes them or expects them to actually earn their way in life is brutally attacked as a racist.

And as they stand there looking down on the people and the country who gave them everything they could ask for, they don’t even have the class and grace to hide their hate and disdain for America and the Americans who made their fantastic success possible.

They are both nothing more than arrogant, incompetent, parasitic grifters.

In the 1960s, NASA's in-house motto was that "Apollo will be judged on its accomplishments, not its intentions". This same standard should be brought to bear on the White House this election year.

This couple is doomed....God does NOT lie and when he says by His spoken word he means it. “I will bless thee who bless you, but curse those who curse you” in reference to Israel. Obozo and his muscle wife will stand in judgment for his orders against Israel...GOD IS NOT amused by this radical jew hater black muslim. I know he is hearing the prayers of his people for Grace and Mercy in behalf of this nation. GOD WILL REMOVE them from the WH...MARK IT!

No, Barack has not lived the American dream, he's lived the immigrant dream.

I might tweak that into a tag line, something like:

Ø might be living the dream but we're enduring the nightmare.

Barack knows the American dream because he’s lived it

Actually he hasn't. He's just a hideous parasite sucking the life-blood out of others who are living the American dream.

You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.

I've read scores of stories about Mr. Romney and his family PERSONALLY helping many people in dire need. I have not read ONE SINGLE story of Obastard giving the gift of himself to anybody in need.
