Michelle Obama, who has quickly become the Obama campaign’s tip of the spear when it comes to fundraising and vote-getting, is now stumping for children to convince their “great-grandparents” to vote for her husband.

This is a hallmark of leftist campaigning – the notion that children possess some sort of inherent wisdom to which their elders must heed. It’s insulting and ridiculous, but it’s also the same sort of electioneering that got Obama elected the first time.

First time one of my grandchildren, or children, try to tell me to vote for someone like Obama, they’re going to get the “talking-to” of their precious little lives.

I mean, I can’t tell you in the last election how many grandparents I ran into who said, I wasn’t going to vote for Barack Obama until my grandson talked to me, until my great-grandson talked to me, and talked about the future he wanted for this country.

You can get out there with your parents. You guys can knock on doors. I had one young lady who brought me a petition — she’s already working. You can convince wrong people. Sometimes we don’t listen to ourselves, but we will listen to our children.

Michelle is very good at indoctrinating kids, huh? Make them think they are so much smarter than their parents, grandparents, or GREAT grandparents? What’s next? The youngsters deciding for grandpa/grandma they’ve lived long enough? Makes you wonder.

Let’s see, in the black “community”, great grandmothers might be all of 40-45 years old.

Great “grandfathers”? It is to laugh.....

I know. “Convince people they are wrong.” How ‘Stalinesque’ of her.

Funny how the Obama daughters are off limits but our children and grandchildren are ripe targets.

I know a high schooler who told me that a joke going around his school is:

Q: Where do bad people live?
A: In the White House.

Might work a bit with the little kids, but I know teenagers who are itching to be old enough to vote people out.

Yup, and if ObamaCare passes...Michelle can make sure Granny is eliminated.....as she would be too old to matter...

Great point!

I kind of thought telling kids what to eat was bad enough-—guess I was wrong.

You’re so right.

The same good little leftist children will be telling their elders that said elders are “units” after they hit 70, and only good for soylent green.

In the darkest days following my fathers stroke, whenever they did the awareness routine and got to the part about who is President, my 80 yo old dad left no doubt in anyones mind what he thought about Obama.

They eventually quit asking that particular question.

I wonder what would have happened to the kids in that class had they said that people got it wrong when they voted for her husband. How many of those kids parents are out of work because of him?

Left unsaid:

“And make sure you tell your teachers who in your family won’t vote for him”.

Don’t forgrt, kids, if they don’t vote properly this fall, they can be reported to the death-panel for remediation...

M00chbutt, you would not believe the words that came out of my 84 year old grandmother’s mouth regarding your spouse.

I wish I could tell you what they were straight to your repugnant face.

Anyone dumb enough to vote for a candidate based on a recommendation by their grand kids, is probably already voting for Obama.
