Michelle Obama Mocks Democratic Voters: 'I Ain’t Going to Vote... I Couldn’t Wake Up'

by Jeryl Bier

In speeches designed to fire up Democrats to vote in midterm elections, President Obama has at times described voters in his party as having a "congenital defect." Wednesday, First Lady Michelle Obama suggested the problem might just be that they're sleepy.

Mrs. Obama spoke at a rally in Philadelphia for the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf. In an effort to boost turnout in November, the first lady told the crowd that she runs across voters "who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up." But she stressed that every vote matters:

So this is where -- when I find people who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up, or it doesn’t matter, or why -- 20 votes decided who your Governor was in 2010, and it could decide who the Governor is this time. 

The first lady wasn't finished with the sleepy-voter theme. Later in her remarks, she expanded on the idea:

You know your 20 people.  You know the people in your neighborhood, in your church, in your family who aren’t focused.  And you can’t leave anybody behind. 

That nephew you know who sleeps -- get him up.  Wake him up.  (Laughter.)  Young people, you all know folks who aren’t paying attention.  Your classmates, your dorm mates -- wake them up, get them out.

Maybe Obola is finally admitting that liberalism is a mental defect.

Oh please Mooch. Wake them up. For the sake of America wake them up.

Because that word? I do not think it means what you think it means. A liberal waking up is a budding conservative. So please. Wake them up.

Perhaps you could get them to document their sex acts instead of just having them sign for them. Or perhaps you could close down/ban more of their favorite foods.

Whatever you feel works best.

Democrat voters can’t wake up because they are dead. But I’m sure the Democrats will find a way to help them.

That’s why the ‘rats need three weeks to round up their voters and drive them to the polls, because if left to their own devices, they couldn’t do it.

She talking their language.

A Republican saying the same thing in the same way would be raked over the coals.
