Michelle Obama Defends Her Candidate

Michelle seems to think that paying back loans is a punishment.

The fact that she can’t understand why people would be upset by BO’s comments prove that yeah, maybe she IS out of touch. Adding sarcasm to insults won’t help much. Refer to the first rule of holes.

The queen of bitter adds more insult to injury. Yes Michele, you are bitter and out of touch. Your school loans don’t compare with what other Americans are suffering, and yet, most of us aren’t bitter. As you and Barrack lounge in your 1.65 Million mansion in Chicago that indicted felon Tony Rezko helped you purchase, we’ll vote for Hillary.

“Now when is the last time you’ve seen a president of the United States who just paid off his loan debt? But, then again, maybe I’m out of touch,” she repeated.
Yes I believe you are out of touch and I can’t believe it took you this long to pay them off when you were making 200K plus a year for over 10 years now between you.

Mrs. Obama seems to think that having to pay a loan makes her more in touch with the common folk.

Professional victims…

From the article:
“Now when is the last time you’ve seen a president of the United States who just paid off his loan debt?”
My understanding is that student loans have 10-year terms–at least mine did. She’s been out of law school since the late 1980s, so her student loans should have been paid off in the late 1990s. He’s been out of law school since 1993, so his student loans should have been paid off about five years ago or so.
With regard to her quote, does she want a medal for repaying an obligation? Does she want a medal because he decided to go back to law school at age 29? What are we to do with that information?
Unfortunately, Clinton blew a golden opportunity. The Obamas are not economic elitists, but they are intellectual elitists. The problem is that they are probably the dumbest smart people in the country.
Silent Majority, it’s time to start weighing in.

The good news is that Obama will crush Hillary and, hopefully, we will get rid of the classless Clintons. Even better news: McCain will crush Obama, and send him and his spoiled brat wife back to Chicago. The bad news: it can’t happen fast enough and we have to listen to these two idiot Democrats whine, lie, parse, and spin for a few more months.

How is the government that can’t put up a border fence supposed to create a job?

Don,
We’re conservative (Classical Liberals), that means that we don’t think anyone owes us anything that we haven’t worked for. Believing that the world/government owes you something is what the neo-libs, like possibly yourself, believe. What I find condescending in BHO’s comments is that we’re cynical about the government. Of course we are, we’re all supposed to be. Our founding fathers were cynical about government. And, for a very good reasons. BHO believes cynicism about the goverenment is bad because he believes that the goverment is supposed to provide all sorts of entitlements to people who have NOT worked for them (by stealing from the folks who are productive). Except for the unborn, of course. They are denied life, liberty, etc. Apparently–since they’re–punishment, they’re not “entitled” to oxygen.

Tom
The only problem with your reasoning is that those productive people aren’t productive without somebody doing the dirty work. Who’s going drive these productive people around in their limos when all the drivers died of curable dieases. Who are you going to hire to do sales when they are all starving because of know money to buy food. Obama is right people need a level playing field. A job is not a handout and any body who says otherwise has never worked a day in his life. When you think about these productive rich people, they should be caring enough to give a little to help others out. That why America is called the Land of Opprotunity.
And another thing, people do get punished with babies. I met one person who had a daughter who got pregnant in High school. The parents made her deliver the baby, tied her tubes, and force her to raise the baby. The issue of Abortion should be handled like gambling. If you do it then you alone have to answer to God at the pearly gates.

MM, I agree with what you are saying. You’re very logical and not talking with your emotions. I will support whoever the dem canidate is. But I hate all this mud slinging especially when some have no idea what they are talking about.

I think Obama biggest strength is he is not attached to Washington. He’s probably more attach to Chicago then Washington. That allows him the freedom to be an outsider looking in from a different perspective. He will be different then Kennedy but I believe he will mobilize people like Kennedy did. The flip side is experience, but Obama makes for it with State government and public service experience.
Politicans become out of touch when they have been the political machinery too long. McCain and Hillary are excellent examples. I think Hillary already had a couple of character flaws, and politics amplified that. I believe McCain has a high moral standard but over the years politics has worn and beaten him down until he can’t speak his mind anymore.
America needs somebody to fix our politics. If we fix the politics, then things will get done. Politics is necessary in all governments, and it works as the conveyor belt of ideas for the government. When our politics are broken, no one communicates, everyone plays the blame game instead of coming up with a meaningful solution. That’s why I think we need a third party so two get out a control another steps in takes power and keeps the other two in check. Sort of like how are government is literally run.

“Perhaps Mrs. Obama was test-driving some of her newsy and sarcastic wit in advance of her taping an appearance on The Colbert Report set to air this evening on Comedy Central.”
Or perhaps she’s an obnoxious, angry, self-absorbed Hyde Park yuppie, with an affirmative action Ivy League pedigree.

Bishop,
Good point.

I like Michelle. She doesn’t parse her words or select them with an antenna for political correctness.
She doesn’t act like a stepford wife either, like picture perfect Cindy McCain. I wonder if Michelle will ever run for president in the future, Hilary is.

Well I recently just moved out of a small town. Long story short, I see where the Obamas are coming from when they state their comments about small towns, and I regret to inform you all that they are bitter-sweetly correct. I support Michelle’s statements.

Veritas, I am a dem and will vote for a dem in the general election no matter who it is. And i did not make a hypocritical post. I have not dished anything out. But reading this blog you Hillary supporters really scare me.

Michelle is in touch. And she is a very entertaining and intelligent woman I might add. I support whatever she might state politically or religiously because she and her husband are really good people. Go Obamas!

I think Obama will win over McCain in the GE

Any man running for the highest office in this country who refuses to wear a flag on his jacket, won’t put his hand on his heart, and who’s wife is sarcastic and isn’t proud of her country that affords her and her family so many privileges causes me great pause. The democratic party found the prettiest, most well spoken person they could find in their party and put him up as a presidential candidate. His record is on par with a small town mayor. What in the world qualifies this man to run the greatest country in the world? Frankly I think he’ll be another Jimmy Carter and put this country in a mess if elected. He’s pretty on the campaign trail, but has nothing of real substance to offer this country. This is not a time for trial and error. We need a real statesman to deal with the complicated international problems that we now face. Obama knows as well as anyone that we can’t just walk away from Iraq at this point and he’s misleading people to say otherwise. I hope you all think hard before deciding on a candidate that can’t possibly deliver the “hope” that he promises. How hard he must have studied the scripts for all the stumping he’s done.

Not only is she is ugly but she is so out of touch. Good point you made Dina.
MY wife and I both had jobs while in college. Big deal she paid off her loans- so did my wife and I.
God she makes me sick.

Note that she was speaking at Haverford, an elite college.

You guys are all nuts…to get so wrapped up into the hype of politics. The bottom line is the issues. while you’ all are fussing about who said what and who is associated with who…why not think about what that person can do for you…If you look at the dems both candidates have most of the same solutions. So, instead on voting on the issues that may or may not affect you, you rather focus on petty things that in the long run is irrelevant to you. This country is going down hill. So, you wouldn’t vote for OB b/c he’s arrogant or Hillary b/c she makes too much money. But you would vote for McCain because you don’t like the other candidate personality…reality check: These people will never be your friends. All of these people are not perfect and will never be perfect…and the last time I checked they were human being. As if any of you are perfect…wow God forbid they say something that may offend someone as if you’ve never done it before. God forbid you were associated with a person, you may think has crossed the line once or twice before…however you’re still associated with them. Wake up people!!! You’re taking this petty thing way to seriously. Focus on the issues and how it will affect your lives. I’m an Obama supporter, however if he didn’t get the nomination, well guess what the next best person would Hillary for me. Focus on the Issues people…come on!!

Some article from “VOUGE” magazine April 2008 issue page 145
*** Standing almost 6 feet tall in heels (She FAVORS JIMMY CHOOS and Hepburnesque flats).
Do you know how much for a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes?
It’s about thousands $

Whats up with her statement? I don’t get it. Paying off your loans a few years ago? The Obama’s are not that old. Not like the Clintons. Raising a family, other obligations, high tuitions etc. Yes I can see that. Whats the big deal? Its called being real. As for the shoes, maybe she was modeling. Didn’t you say Vogue?

Think! you should try it. Start by doing a thorough investigation of the facts before reporting as fact. Lies? Be specific before you charge someone. How can anyone intelligent take you seriously? The Clintons gift to charity? Oh! You’re referring to that foundation they established (in the name of A Clinton charity) to hide those contributions that still hasn’t been donated, even half their contributions to a needy cause. And take a more in depth look at all that money (over $100,000,000) they made in the short eight years out of office and who/where it came from. So whose the elitist in the bunch? THINK AND GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. Don’t be so quick to ridicule and pass judgment. Obama and Michelle aren’t trying to hide anything from us. They are a young couple that dares to make a difference. I applaud their courage.

For some reason Obama always seems to be on the money when it comes to making great quotes.
I support Obama 199%.
I couldn’t be prouder of my OBAMA ’08 bumper sticker too!
Go Obamaites!

As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Obama has fought to strengthen America’s position in the world. Reaching across the aisle, Obama has tackled problems such as preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction and stopping the genocide in Darfur.
I believe Obama will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease, and MORE.

Sure, he’ll reach across the aisle as long as he doesn’t have to get out of his seat. He is cemented into the left. Opposing handguns, in favor of partial birth abortion, in favor of early release for sex offenders, children are penalties.
Michelle is obviously his soul mate. Vowing to place black Americans first and foremost, actively working on a board that put over 150 Colorado workers out on the street when they closed a pickle plant.
Yes, I have read her thesis and the many references she makes to the “lower class” blacks. Not the lower income or disadvantaged blacks.
They are both elitists. Remember that Marx (the communist not Groucho) said that religion was the opiate of the masses. I guess in the 21st century Obama believes religion is the “soma” of the masses.

I keep seeing kids holding up posters with the words ‘hope’ and ‘change’ during BO’s speeches. Is he hoping for something to change? I don’t think hoping is the way to achieve change. Or is he going to give us hope? If so, hope for what? Can anyone help me out here. I’m confused.
