Perky Michelle Obama left military wives in Kentucky with this hopeful message this week:
"We need to be more aware of the challenges these women are facing," she said. "I think it's so important for them to feel like they have a voice. We're taught as women to keep it all in and suffer and just hold it down."Add this to the list of quotes by Mrs. Hope and Change:
** Michelle Obama Decides After 44 Years She Finally Can Stomach the US
** Michelle Obama's "Proud of My Country" Twofer (Video)
** Michelle Obama: "We're a Country That's Downright Mean"
** Oops!... She Did It Again- Michelle Obama Bashes Ignorant America! (Video)
** "You're alone in your failure." (Get me more white people!)
** "We're Guided By Fear... We're a Nation of Cynics, Sloths and Complacents"
Gee, Michelle would be a real treat to to have in the White House for 4 years, huh?
Apparently Senator Clinton didn't get the memo.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that Michelle Obama showed that lesson well learned when she let her husband answer for her when questioned about her own comments. She was made of keep it all in, suffer and just hold it down and let Barry answer for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd she told this to military wives who are some of the strongest, most independent women I know?
Women who didn't get the "Hold It Down" memo:
Gloria Steinham
Hillary Clinton
Medea Benjamine
Nancy Pelosi
Sheila Jackson Lee
Barbara Streisand
and the list goes on.
She said this to MILITARY WIVES! What a dope, they are the strong women of this nation. I bet they all left thinking, "What a whiner! If I had her advantages, I'd be so thankful."
ReplyDeleteAnd Obama thinks everybody ELSE is out to get him? (snort, snort, chuckle, laugh hysterically)
ReplyDeleteThat's a coded cry for laxatives.
ReplyDelete"We're taught as women to keep it all in and suffer and just hold it down."
ReplyDeleteYeah, whereas men are always sobbing and screeching in the public square about their poor selves. WTF????
I'm starting to wonder if this woman is capable of saying anything that isn't pure pc garbage.
I used to think she was a drag on the Obama ticket. Now I know she's an anchor bolted to the hull of the Titanic.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely, and what's with all of this iran stuff, michelle?
ReplyDeleteis this "tit for tat" or "hope and change?"
i'm confused.
"I think it's so important for them to feel like they have a voice."
ReplyDeleteThose army wives should go to New Hampshire to find their lost voices. That's where Hillary found hers.
/passes GP the popcorn...
ReplyDeleteYe gods are these people stupid! I don't care how much they spent getting their Ivy League Madrassa sheepskins they are truly dumb as a box of rocks!
Wait...I must correct myself...they are stupid and arrogant!
The Obama campaign seems to think that the MSM will bury all their shite for them so they can say and do what they please.
Unfortunately for them they still have not figured out that their fluffers in the MSM no longer are the gatekeepers of information and the general public will hear about this stuff, and get angry. Just like they got angry about Barak's "redneck racist morons" comment.
I can already hear the screeching out of the Obamaniacs and the indignant "anger" out of the Obama's when a nice ad campaign runs somewhere in the first week of October with a hit parade of Michelle Obama's more famous quotes. That campaign will run with one containing some of Barak's famous quotes.
At the rate they are going they will be lucky to carry Washington, DC, San Francisco and Illinois.
Michell Obama seems to be a "balanced personality": she has a evenly-weighted chip on each shoulder.
ReplyDeleteIf Obama slides into the Oval Office, I'll bet the following discussion will take place in the women's room during a future White House soiree:
"Well, what do you think of Mrs. Hope and Change?"
"Her hubby's cute--kinda goofy, but still cute. God, what did he ever see in HER? She's a world-class b***ch. The last party she was at, she whined all night about how she didn't get any respect from the West Wing staff. GAG!"
"Yeah, I heard about that. Howie Dean's wife told me she now wishes Hillary or even McCain had won. Bill and Hill weren't the most honest people, but they threw the BEST parties and didn't start them off with 15 minute lectures about starving Africans."
"Amen, sister. God, it's gonna be a long four years."
I'm not sure what Michelle is talking about here.
ReplyDelete"We need to be more aware of the challenges these women are facing," she said."
True, but what challenges are you referring to and what comes after being aware of these challenges?
"I think it's so important for them to feel like they have a voice."
I don't really know what she means by this; Michelle doesn't explain herself.
"We're taught as women to keep it all in and suffer and just hold it down."
I don't know about some women, but I'm sure this is true for many women and men for that matter. If she is referring to military wives, I am sure that many wives have to keep it together for their own sakes and the sakes of their children.
I wish Michelle spoke with some clarity; she is all over the map rambling.

I think Michelle is describing something very real, but her solution is wrong. Remember, she's talking to women.
ReplyDeleteIn her view women, particularly black women, think that our government is at best indifferent to them. There are women who, given the opportunity, will not take advantage of diverse settings. They are uncomfortable, they hang with their own groups instead of getting to know "the others," they don't participate in the larger community. They never learn to speak up effectively because they "know" it won't work.
So, what's the solution to the problem?
Is it the fault of our laws, which provide equal protection for every citizen (and non-citizen) within our borders? If it is the fault of our laws, how do we change them?
Is it the fault of our policies, which also provide that any money spent by our federal government must be spent in a nondiscriminatory fashion? And which provides extra opportunities for minorities such as blacks and women? If so, what policy changes are needed?
Is it because our politicians refuse to take the emails and letters they get from their voters?
She's really not addressing the kinds of problems that are normally handled by legislation, policy debate, or even political action. She seems to be addressing inner problems, a kind of inner timidity.
The source of that inner timidity is easy enough to find. We've seen him in film clips accusing our government of the filthiest of actions against its own citizens. We've seen him telling her that the United States government is run by the Ku Klux Klan. His message is that every white person she sees hates her. She knows its not true, and she is trying to counter it. If you picture Rev. Wright lying about America in the background, then it's easy to understand what Michelle is saying.
Michelle is busy telling women that they don't have to listen to the Rev. Wright any more, that he's wrong, and that they can have the American dream, if they push beyond those inner barriers and suspicions. If we elect Barack Obama, then the Rev. Wright's ideas will no longer have a hold on them.
Michelle is right, there is a problem. But the solution is not to provide Rev. Wright a wider stage for his activities. It is to get up and walk out of that church.
