(CNSNews.com) – Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States, said on Friday that the United States is in the “midst of a huge recovery” because of what “this president has done.”

In an interview, Pablo Sato, co-host of Pablo & Free on WPGC 95.5, a D.C.- metropolitan area hip-hop radio station, asked the first lady, “Mrs. Obama, you know what, in your words, tell us what you think the state of the union is in right now?”

Mrs. Obama said, “I mean, we are seeing right now that we are in the midst of a huge recovery. Right? Because of what this president has done.”

Free: “Yes.”

Obama: “Pulled this economy from the brink of collapse when we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. Now were gaining every -- throughout most of his presidency, we’ve been adding jobs to this economy because of what he’s been doing. The stock market has doubled. Housing prices are rising. Foreclosure rates are lowering. But in the face of that, you still have people trying to convince us that things aren’t better.”

Free: “Uh huh.”

Obama: “And that just doesn’t make sense. Now, Barack of all people knows that we still have a long way to go to completely rebuild the economy. But we’re headed in the right direction. And when you see all of that truth, it’s hard to understand why are people blocking this? Why are people talking about not raising taxes on wealthy people? Why is it that people don't want to fight to make sure that veterans have job opportunities?”

Free: “They just like to talk, Mrs. Obama.”

Hey Blackie-O, the recovery starts November 7th, when you and the Kenyan are voted out of office. Enjoy the gift of a permanent vacation from the American people. And don’t forget to send a postcard once you’ve learned to write.

Define recovery. I think we’re maybe talking about two different things.

Ya think?
The First Wookie is math challenged.

She thinks that if the prospect of Odumbo running for president made the stock market lose half its value and

...it has since (almost) doubled in value, and it only took 4 years and 5trillion$, so Odumbo pulled off a miracle!

I can remember when WPGC was a classic rock station. Times (and demographics) change.

Of course moo-chelle thinks this. From her perspective, she thinks ALL Americans fly around in their personal 747’s, with scores of staff, and with unlimited credit-card money to buy anything they want. Is a matter of fact, Moo-chelle thinks the typical American family must own TWO private transportation jets, one ‘his’ and the other ‘hers’. She is just extrapolating from her everyday experience.

I really have no clue how I made it through 53 years without first checking in to see what MO had to say.

Raising my kids has been especially difficult, if only she was my guide through those years, telling me what to feed them and how I should raise them.

And now, to hear how she is once again advising and guiding me by telling me that the economy is recovering. Why without her voice, I would never know this ---- From what I can see, it is the direct opposite. How lucky we all are to have her as our mentor and counselor.

MAJOR /S off

It probably seems like that inside the beltway of DC. They just sit around like a mob crew and decide how they want to divi-up the taxpayers money.

If you subtract all the positive news from the red states what would the so-called recovery look like?

Sweetheart, this ain't much of a "Recovery" at all, much less huge.

Maybe your concept of "huge" needs a point of reference.....(look behind you).

She doesn’t live in the real world and hasn’t for many years. She has no idea what a lot of us are going through; having to dip into our savings to make ends meet seeing what took so many years to put back vanish wondering how we are going to support ourselves in our later years, our wages barely able to sustain us with the cost of everything rising, gas, food, and utilities so expensive you really have watch your P’s and Q’s, etc...

And she and her husband are worried about what your kids eat, Big Bird, making sure liberal sluts get free birth control and abortions so they can whore around as much as they like, and inviting more Muslims in office so they can hand the keys of the WH to them while they exit and ride off in the sunset to Hawaii.

Hmmmm. Come November 7, wonder if she’s gonna have an attitude like Astro the first time he got kicked off the X-Factor in its first season, before the judges saved him?

Maybe a huge recovery from alcoholism, or drug abuse? Not the economy for sure, although her family is living large.
