I think the powers that be might want to send the First Lady on another deluxe,tax payer funded vacay so stuff like this doesn't surface.
Here's what she had to say at a private fundraiser in Tampa, clearly indicating that a Republican president would appoint Supreme Court justices that would curtail First Amendment rights:
Let’s not forget about what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices — (applause) — and for the first time in history, our daughters — and our sons — watched three women take their seats on our nation’s highest court. (Applause.) But more importantly, let’s not forget the impact those decisions will have on our lives for decades to come — on our privacy and security, on whether we can speak freely, worship openly, and love whomever we choose. That is what’s at stake here. (Applause.)
And of course, the Race Card was not-so-subtly in appearance:
Will we be a country where opportunity is limited to just the few at the top? Who are we? Or will we give every child a chance to succeed no matter where they’re from, or what they look like or how their money parents are — have. Who are we?
We've never had a president or a First Lady before who have so blatantly tried to set America's people against each other in this fashion for their own tawdry political gain.
This seems to be consistent with Mr. Obama's prior experience as a commumity organizer. In this job, the goal was to stir up people so they wil agitate the powers that be to solve a problem. Essentially the idea in this position is to stir up the people so pressure can be applied on the appropiate personnel whose task it is to solve the actual problem whose lack of a solution is being protested.
ReplyDeleteNow Mr. Obama has a different job. Now he is President of the United States. What worked as a community organizer where he stirred up people so they would apply pressure to "the man" so that he would address the problems that he is supposed to be spending tax dollars to address will not work as POTUS. You see, as POTUS, he is "the man!!"
As such, this requires different approaches. Unfortunately Mr. Obama has been unable to adjust to the demands of his new job. Perhaps he can in the near future but so far he has not.
As a community organizer, the approach of division worked quite well but as POTUS it does not. In this situation, a true leader would be working to unite the country so we can work together to begin solving our nation's massive issues. Unfortunately, to date, Mr. Obama is taking the exact opposite approach.
Let us pray that Mr. Obama can and will make the appropiate adjustments to his policies and approach to governance. As it stands right now, there is about a 99.5% chance he will be reelected. This is not to suggest he should be reelected but he likely will be and frankly he's the only POTUS we have right now!!
Mrs. Obama speaks of decades to come with regards the decisions of the Supreme Court. I have news for her. Unless the current policies of this POTUS are reveresd in a major way and reversed quickly, the country does not have "decades" for its future. The two most likely scenarios are as follows: 1.)Due to its crumbling economy, crumbling infrastructre, massive national debt, and hollowed out military that because of the national debt we can' afford to address the country is taken over by the world's major powers and divided up into "spheres of influence" controlled likely by Russia, China, and perhaps India and maybe a few other countries for the purpose of extracting its natural resources. 2.)There is no way to afford Obamacare or the other massive spending programs this POTUS wants. We have got to be free of this. Certain states may seceede from the union and perhaps form unions among themselves based upon common interests. 3.)By far the worst case scenario, Russia and perhaps China launch an all out attack on the Untied States probably involving a massive nuclear strike. In this scenario, most Americans are massacred. The few of us who remain will be sold into some form of slavery.
Unless Mr. Obama or someone else reverses the current policies being pursued, one of these three possiblities will occurr within five years. Essentially under current management America won't survive for decades unless current management changes course!!
The appropiate polices for either this POTUS or a futre Administration, assuming we can survive long enough to get this one out, should be three fold.
1.)Take whatever steps are necessary to preserve America's nulcear detterent and if at all possible expand it and upgrade it. 2.)Work to preserve the unity of the nation. 3.)Try and prevent mass starvation in America where and when possible.
Unfortunately the issues we face are so dire and have been allowed to go on so long without a serious attempt to address them that it may already be to late to prevent one of the three scenarios for America's futre mentioed above. I estimate with the right polices there's only a 1 in 3 chance of success at this point. Any one want to be POTUS in such a dire situation?
Do you really think that calling Mrs Obama a cow reflects well on you as a person?
ReplyDeleteYou really need to get out more.And ponder you're ownobviously sexist attitudes.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Mooch' in 'Moochelle' refers to her obscene use of five star perks and government largess for her own pleasure and aggrandizement on the taxpayer's dime when a lot of the nation is in fairly dire economic straits.
Cows, after all, contribute positively to society in general and have a useful and largely beneficent function.

i think it's disrespectful to cows.
ReplyDeleteYou can't be serious. A quick websearch of 'Moochelle' and 'cow' will give you a million links to right wing blogs calling Mrs Obama every form of heifer imaginable. Here's one of the first ones Google brings up:
ReplyDeletehttp://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/09/18/moochelle-obama-all-this-just-for-a-flag/
Putting aside the fact that the story in this link was thoroughly debunked, you can't find a single reference to MOOCHelle. It's MOOchelle all over this site and all over the right-wing web. Now you're pretending it means something different. Please. Don't even try to hide behind you lame excuse, you coward. And there's no way someone can call you out like this without you censoring their comment, you intellectually dishonest maggot. Learn to be a gentleman and don't call women cows. Simple as that.
Is Mrs. Obama's use of five star perks and government largess any different than any other President or First Lady in recent times? Very likely not, however, I do agree with you in such dire economic times it is entirely inappropiate. In the past, economic times were not as dires and, as such, use of these perks would not have been as problematic.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if former President Bush or former First Lady Laura Bush were to have made use of such perks during economic times like this, the media would be howling with rage against these people against such behavior. Yer they are largely silent when Mr. and Mrs. Obama do this kind of thing.
Also, the American people need to remember when the economy first began to tank in such a major way and when the national debt began to explode to the degree it is now started in 2008 after the Democrats gained control of the House and the Senate. For the last two years or so of his presidency, Mr. Bush was little more than a figurehead.
As such, while Mr. Bush may have laid some of the ground work for the national debt and the economic conditions we face, these things were exacerbated by the Democrats and Mr. Obama. As such, to blame the situation entirely on Mr. Bush and his team is incorrect and inapropiate.
Anonymous - you accused me of mimicking your obvious misogynistic tendencies by confusing the First Lady with an honest and productive cow.
ReplyDeleteWhen I proved you wrong an dtold you EXACTLY what I meant bt the reference, you attempt to up the ante by accusing me of what other sites may of may not have said. You're an ass, plain and simple.And a pathetically comical one as well, accusing someone else of cowardice while you hide under the 'anonymous' tag.
Poster if you check, you'll see that the First Lady has indeed made more extensive use of government perks than anyone else in recent times.I don't recall any other First lady listing her daughters as 'senior staff' on a luxury trip to Africa.
Eleanor Roosevelt would be absolutely appalled and angered.
