Michelle Obama: 'Young people are knuckleheads'
Washington Examiner ^ | 02/21/14 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 02/21/2014 5:02:14 AM PST by theruleshavechanged

On the "Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, First Lady Michelle Obama explained that it was more important than ever for young people older than 26 to sign up for health insurance.

"A lot of young people think they're invincible, but the truth is young people are knuckleheads," she laughed, pointing out that they often cut themselves while cooking or injure themselves by dancing on bar stools.

Obama added that thanks to Obamacare, coverage for young people was much cheaper.

"Now young people can get insurance for as little as $50 a month, less than the cost of gym shoes," she explained.

I worked at a Gas station back in the 80s and one day the boss/owner came up and offered us Health Insurance. It was Blue cross/blue shield, the Cadillac of plans back in the day and it was cheap. I signed up for it because I figured it was like a Perk.
It was a Big deal for a 22 year old to have Blue Cross/Blue shield.
Now Obama is pushing this Yugo Health Plan on young people. Cant blame them for not signing up for this clumsy and expensive plan.

I haven't had to undergo back surgery yet, but I've had three surgeries on my left ankle, two on my left knee, one on my left foot, one on my right knee, two on my left wrist/thumb, I have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders, and I'm lately developing arthritis in joints that I didn't even know could get arthritis.

But I don't regret it - not even a little. Roadracing motorcycles did positive things for my brain that no other activity I have engaged in to date has been able to do.

I’m glad that she agrees that the young are skulls full of mush. They tend to be liberal too. I was when I was young.

Cue Pajama Boy.

I think that I'd like to see him injure himself by dancing on a barstool.

Now they’re not content just to foul every avenue of entertainment with their presence, they have to make sure they wreck it right out of the launch. Will they profane the Oscars again this year?

When I was a young person, I’d have a he&^ of a time getting my hands on $50 a month

I suppose it isn’t much different NOW.

MO is a knucklehead

“Roadracing motorcycles did positive things for my brain that no other activity I have engaged in to date has been able to do.”

You must have landed on your head and had the sense knocked out you to believe all that pain and suffering (and future pain and suffering) is worth it. :)

If you don’t have a job - due to your husband’s idiotic policies, how can you afford $50 a month exactly? Did she mention what it costs to see the doctor or go to the hospital?

Only a knuckle head thinks you buy insurance to pay for your cut finger.

I love it.
They court the knuckleheads tirelessly for support and votes.
When the knuckleheads cannot find jobs to pay for overpriced crap she insults them.
And this is how the left operates - it always ends with insult, or worse.
Elsewhere we see the Commies blather on about their love for The People and for Worker’s rights - right up to the moment when they shoot them in the head.

Dear knucklehead American youth - the Left doesn’t love you. The Left doesn’t care.

Obamacare plans are basically

“you pay a bigger premium per month than you would have before, and you’ll still pay for any medical care you get out of pocket because the deductibles are so high”

"I'm first lady of the United States of America -- that's pretty high up...But I've always felt like my life is ever-evolving.

I don't have the right to just sit on my talents or blessings, I've got to keep figuring out ways to have an impact -- whether as a mother or as a professional or as a mentor to other kids."

~Michelle Obama

“Knuckleheads”?......That’s the pot calling the kettle black.(nothing racists there) Reminds me of the old saying, “It takes one to know one”.

So the female dog is trying to convince young people into
getting on the commie wagon by lying to and insulting them?
These liberal dogs are just too stupid to be the ones
pulling the strings.
