Michelle Obama earns rock star’s welcome at voting rally in South Florida

(CORAL GABLES, Fla.) — Michelle Obama walked onstage to a rock star’s welcome in the final stop of her “When We All Vote” campaign — a nonpartisan effort to encourage voting in this year’s midterm election.

The former first lady kept her comments at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, free from the controversy swirling in Washington, D.C., though she did urge young voters to turn out in large numbers in order to avoid politics “that don’t reflect our values.”

Obama spoke of the “dangerous cycle” the country is currently stuck in.

(snip)

Obama came onstage at the Watsco Center to a dramatic introduction and screaming fans, which numbered over 4,500, according to the organizers. The crowd was more fitting of a concert by Kelly Rowland or Faith Hill, two of the other celebrities in attendance at the rally.

“Well, hello Miami. Oh, my goodness. Well, I’m happy to be here. Are you all happy to be here?” she asked.

(snip)

Obama did not mention President Donald Trump or even either political party at Friday night’s nonpartisan rally. Actors Keegan-Michael Key and Piper Perabo, musician Fat Joe and professional wrestler Titus O’Neill were among the other celebrities in attendance.

"The former first lady appealed to young voters by saying they wouldn’t even trust another person to post on their Instagram feed. So why give another person your vote by not showing up?

“You wouldn’t give your crazy uncle the power to post a picture to your Instagram feed, so why would you give a stranger the power to make far more important decisions in your life?” she joked."

...So get out there and vote Democrat for the commie thug for Governor, kids!

President Trump gets crowds 10X that size with little or no warning and doesn't need to drag around musicians and other celebrities to get them.

Right? 4500 people in there are actors and musicians there in they call her a rock star. Trump has 10k and they try to show the place half empty because it’s an hour before the thing starts.

That’s what probably outrages me the most about the lefts Russia collusion hoax: It was obvious as hell Trump was going to win the election and they damn well knew it! He was filling stadiums at his rallies while Hillary was barely filling a High school gymnasium! What did they think was going to happen? Did they Russians fill up his rallies? They know that the Russia collusion thing is nonsense.

Yeah, right. “Nonpartisan.”

Kelly Rowland and Faith Hill are not “rock stars”

Destiny’s Child did not perform “rock” music and Faith Hill’s music may not be pure country but that doesn’t make her “rock” either.

BTW did the 4,500 fans attend a concert by these two acts? or did the 2 stars merely speak on stage or wave from the crowd?

got to say that when you have a tax-free “get out the vote” rally.

How many Republican celebrities or politicians were approached about appearing?

Yep! And instead of directing their anger towards Hillary for OBVIOUSLY stealing the nomination from Bernie, they get super vicious against Trump! It amazes me to no end how that woman is just utterly defended and protected as if she’s some kind of Royal Messiah. I think a lot of it has to do with the way she talks and acts, she puts on this wise grandmother act when in reality she’s a hardcore multiple felon no different from any other head of a crime family.

Here's who they really are.

The brilliant Dr Sebastian Gorka---a Fox contributor---summed up Obama and Michele succinctly: "They don't believe in objective truth. They're post- secular modernists. They believe in cultural relativism.......that all cultures are equal..... except America, which (in their minds) is worse than everybody else."

========================================

ANALYSIS The spoken truth is what THEY say it is.....it must be stripped of any concept of 2000 years of man's knowledge of right and wrong. 2008 candidate Obama’s calm cool voice of reason was supposed to prevail. Remember when Obama calmly assured America that once he was elected all Mideast “hostilities” would cease. A confident Obama would make sure America was once again “respected” around the world. And who could forget Obama’s “Arab Spring” when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?

2012 Ohaha used the same conniving 2008 strategy patented by PR honcho Anita (Mao) Dunn---to manipulate voters, to downplay his hady bgrnd, his destructive policies ....and his scary plans for his next term. Remember, Dunn said back then, that THEY and only THEY decided what the media and the voters should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha.

The Obama's strategy is to play the innocents---the "don't worry--we're harmless" act.

I’m not a global citizen. I live in a sovereign nation, free from outside rule and domination.

I inhabit planet Earth as we all do.

it was godless crumbs like Walter Cronkite who pushed for decades for a one world government and mocked that he’d gladly sit at the right hand of Satan if that’s what it took to make it happen and he stressed that Americans would have to give up “some” sovereignty for this to happen.

Either you are free or you are not. Men died fighting for those freedoms.
