The Obamas: Wrong for America

Sometimes a candidate - or in this case, a candidate's wife - says something so stupid and so shocking that you can't just let it go. Take this gem from Michelle Obama, for instance:

"What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something -- for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I've seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it's made me proud." [emphasis added]

That's an excerpt from a prepared speech that she gave on two separate occasions in Wisconsin recently.

It seems incredible to me that an educated, intelligent woman, having lived in this country all of her life, couldn't find a single reason to take pride in her home until her husband is suddenly doing well in the polls for POTUS.

I would chalk it up to pandering and playing to the Liberal left that seems to be so enchanted with her husband, but this kind of thing seems to be par for the course for the Obamas. The man himself refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin or place his hand over his heart when the national anthem plays or even to say the pledge of allegiance. So this anti-American thing seems to be a pattern with them.

A pattern I would never tolerate from my POTUS.

I'm all for hope and change and THE FUTURE, but I have yet to hear Obama offer anything of substance to achieve those things. He speaks well, looks great on stage, dances on TV, steal other peoples speeches, but where are the details of this great vision? Who is going to carry it out, after he surrenders the Middle East and cuts our military? And who is going to pay for it? Well, wait, I actually already know the answer to that one.

You would think that his supporters, in between swooning spells, would realize by now that this guy is the literal one trick pony.

I never, ever thought I would say this, but I am actually rooting for Billary in the Liberal race. I don't think she's much better, mind you, but in the proverbial choice between the devil and the deep blue sea, she at least has some idea of what it takes to run this great nation.

Come on, people, wake up already!
