Michelle Obama and the politics of candor.

. . . Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. “We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day,” she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. “Folks are just jammed up, and it’s gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I’m young. Forty-four!”

From these bleak generalities, Obama moves into specific complaints. Used to be, she will say, that you could count on a decent education in the neighborhood. But now there are all these charter schools and magnet schools that you have to “finagle” to get into. (Obama herself attended a magnet school, but never mind.) Health care is out of reach (“Let me tell you, don’t get sick in America”), pensions are disappearing, college is too expensive, and even if you can figure out a way to go to college you won’t be able to recoup the cost of the degree in many of the professions for which you needed it in the first place . . . “See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn’t have trust funds. I’m still waiting for Barack’s trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s’posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!” . . .

“The life that I’m talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl. . . . So if you want to pretend like there was some point over the last couple of decades when your lives were easy, I want to meet you!”

“You know,” she said, “in my household, over the last year we have just shifted to organic . . . Now we’re keeping, like, a bowl of fresh fruit in the house. But you have to go to the fruit stand a couple of times a week to keep that fruit fresh enough that a six-year-old—she’s not gonna eat the pruney grape, you know. At that point it’s, like, ‘Eww!’ She’s not gonna eat the brown banana or the shrivelledy-up things. It’s got to be fresh for them to want it. Who’s got time to go to the fruit stand? Who can afford it, first of all?” . . .

Ah yes, life is so much more difficult these days. And don't forget that since Bush has been President, not only have things gotten worse but fruit goes rotten a whole lot quicker for poor people like the Obama's. That's because Bush gave tax cuts to the rich and their fruit lasts longer

Barack Obama no matter how nice looking, how well read, or well he speaks; is still standing for evil. He is pro Abortion, for weakening drug laws, and pro homosexual rights.

These things no matter how slick the package is, are still all evil and should not be part of any candidates platform; Republican or Democrat.

Democrat friends LISTEN VERY CLOSELY!!!!

[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. --MATTHEW 6

IT IS NOT ABOUT ECONOMICS!!!

Messiah said that GOD will take care of you!!! You don't need Barack to feed you. Barack will not clothe you. That is GOD'S job.

So when you boil it down, this man as well as many other politicians are standing for evil; on both sides of the isle!!! Unfortunately there are some Republicans who are joining the cult of Death via voting for Abortion!!! Sick!

Is there not one Democrat that will stand against these wicked things??? Why can not the Democratic party put forth a man who does not want to promote these evil things??? And why are many Republicans running toward these evil things?

AMERICA, WE NEED TO STOP THIS KIND OF EVIL NOW!!! OR THE HAMMER OF GOD WILL STRIKE US DOWN!!!

SOLI DEO GLORIA.

I kind of hope your god's hammer strikes me down. I'd rather burn in hell with my God and my Savior right beside me than sit for one minute in your heaven with your monster.

Hmm. I always thought you were a capitalist. I guess I was wrong. Why am I worrying about food and clothes for my family? I am quitting my job and heading home right now...

I guess George Bush would be the School Nazi who tells kids whcih schools they can go to, charter, magnet or just plain old school. Or the Fruit Nazi who makes some peoples' fruit go bad real fast

Running late plus CONSTANT media attention for weeks on end no matter where you go...yeah he's got NO right to get upset.

How would YOU feel if you were chased ALL DAY EVERY DAY by the press? I dont fault people who get lots of media attention and loose their temper every now and then.

This is part of the reason I think it would be the worst punishment ever to make me famous. I'd be hittin' reporters all day long.

It's called running for POTUS.

If he can't handle the pressure from a few journalists, how is he going to handle the pressure of having thousands of nuclear weapons under his control?

They didn't even get to ask him if the reports of Nation of Islam members on his staff are true.

This really isn't fair. A Republican candidate with similiar allegations out there would be asked everyday until he or she answered.

Is someone paying you to post this stuff? :scratch:

Okay so now NOI members can't take part in the political process, is that it?


Lord give me strength.

I want someone to ask him what he is going to do about the fresh fruit situation in America.

Even his wife is concerned about cost and access to fruit. In this New Yorker article, Michelle Obama asked, "Who’s got time to go to the fruit stand? Who can afford it, first of all?”

She makes over $300,000 a year, has a housekeeper and a personal trainer and is alarmed over the fruit crisis. Imagine how the rest of us feel. I hope her husband doesn 't run away when journalists ask him about this.

"now we're keeping LIKE a bowl of freshfruit?"

so is michelle LIKE a valley girl or what now?

Maybe a colloquialism Michelle picked up at Princeton. Albert Einstein taught there. Perhaps he introduced it. English was not his native tongue.


and you are not seriously telling me that someone who makes 312k/yr is complaining about the price of fruit are you v-man? cuz if you are . . .:sick:

She has a housekeeper and sees a personal trainer 4 times a week. I think if she rearraigned her priorities, she could get her child all the fresh fruit she can eat.

He isn't pro-abortion, he is pro-rights. Good for him. We need to stop letting this country take away our rights.

The drug laws are not working, and are just over filling our prisons. We need to focus more on rehab.

Homosexuals are people too, and deserve all the same rights as you straight christians. Didn't christ talk about a wolf in sheeps clothing? He was talking about people like you.

PHOTO OF ODINGA SHOWING OFF HIS COUSIN, OBAMA IN HIS MUSLIM GARB.
Odinga had a pact with hard-line Muslims that if he won the presidency he would force Islam on the country. He failed to win the presidency and instigated bloody riots that cost the lives of over 1000 people.
Obma made a trip to Kenya TO CAMPAIGN FOR ODINGA- AND EVEN INTERRUPTED HIS OWN CAMPAIGN TO CALL HIM.
If you do not believe this, google "Obama is my cousin" or Obama/Odinga.

This symbol for the "Obama Youth" group is plainly patterned on the Islamic half moon and stars symbol!!!
Google "obama youth" .
