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!

UPDATED: Amy Proctor has the video of both speeches. Michelle Malkin also weighs in.

Yes is a tough election season. Me, I'd take Hillary of Obama.

[Amy Proctor]

The Obamas are socialists. That's the bottom line.

[Tamera Mackson]

I really don't think that you are the one to say who is not best for president. Keep your comments to your self. You say that you haven't heard him say anything about change, that means that your not listening.

[Ron Simpson]

how is it all these rich sob liberals want to redistribute everybody ELSE'S wealth?

[Mike]

Ah, the nuts on the Left. Now, if I kept my opinions to myself, what sort of blogger would I be? And clearly, as you yourself have done, people come here to read my opinion, for the little that it's worth.

But since you're such an expert on Obama and his plans for our country, why don't you enlighten the rest of us with his brilliant plans for our future? Without using the words HOPE and CHANGE, I mean. You know, give us something of substance, since your candidate is clearly incapable of doing so...

Thanks for visiting..

[Mike]

Get with the program, Ron, it's all about HOPE and CHANGE, brother, HOPE and CHANGE. Oh, and THE FUTURE. Beyond that, I really can't comprehend anything that Obama says he will do..
