CNN Applauds Michelle’s Dem Convention Speech, Van Jones ‘Crying

Following the highly anticipated DNC speech by First Lady Michelle Obama on Monday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper called out Political Commentator Van Jones for crying during the speech. “Well I mean, first of all, if you weren't moved by that, go see the doctor,” he responded. Jones continued by speaking glowingly about the speech, “She gave a clinic on how to connect to the American people,” and “It was her speaking as a mother.” The rest of the panelists did much of the same, they all praised her speech for different reasons.

CNN’s Senior Political Reporter Nia-Malika Henderson praised Hillary Clinton’s wisdom in selecting the first lady to speak on the first night of the convention. “I think the Clinton campaign smartly knew that this was going to be the headline of the night,” Henderson noted, before taking a swipe at Clinton’s primary rival, “They knew that most Americans weren't tuning in for Bernie Sanders, and no offense to Bernie Sanders, but they were tuning in for Michelle Obama.”

I’ve tried to find the ‘picture’ of her and bammy at some organizer event. I think it’s been scrubbed from the internet. If you saw it you’d see the ‘artist’ job is a 24/7 thing. My guess is that one of her escort vehicles carries a compliance sign.

If I honestly ask myself the question of “who do I want ‘shaping’ my children for the next 4 to 8 years?”, well, I wouldn’t trust Hillary to babysit my kids, while Trump seems to have a progeny of overachievers....

“know that our words and actions matter not just to our girls, but to children across this country –- kids who tell us, “I saw you on TV, I wrote a report on you for school.” Kids like the little black boy who looked up at my husband, his eyes wide with hope, and he wondered, “Is my hair like yours?”
If that’s the standard she’s using for helping children, Michelle was no help to young black girls who don’t have the money to pay for her culturally appropriated hair.

Chelsea and her husband are just as crooked as Hillary and Bill.

We now know these first ladies do not write their own speeches. Should they not be applauding the actual speech writer ?

"Noticed a little cultural appropriation going on with the hair. "

Certainly. But is it her real hair?
Many think her hair might be artificial in some way.

That is so condescending. It is as if she see black children as backward idiots who can only marvel at Obozo (and her). I doubt that most black Americans, including children, are this limited and easily impressed in their thinking.

Which reminds me to ask AGAIN if the DNC is going to reimburse us (the U. S. taxpayer) for her transportation to/from Philadelphia? Funny the many times I’ve brought this subject up to my representative and my senators, I NEVER get an answer....

Rush and his tech nerds are 100% wrong about the hackers being Russians because they used a russian lang. Keyboard. A cyber hacker would use the english keyboard to hack an english sight, if someone hacked that wanted to point somewhere else they’d use a russian keyboard

“”DAVID AXELRON: Can I make one other point? One of the things that people say, whether they like Barack Obama or not, whether they like Michelle Obama or not, is that they’re good role models. They’re good parents.””

Good Lord. We keep hearing that from the media when there’s a democrat in the WH. I sure don’t recall hearing that when Nixon, Ford, either Bush, were there.

The Clintons were such good parents; the obozo’s are such good parents yada yada yada. Because they walk to/from the WH to the helicopter or AF One holding hands with their children? Because they board or disembark from AF One holding hands? Well, Lordy me; that must be what makes good parents.

Of course, the obozo girls as large as they are might get away from Mommy and Daddy if they didn’t hold their hands.. Who on earth knows what kind of parents any of them are behind closed doors? Who knows what kind of parents ANYONE is behind closed doors?

My additional two cents worth - A GOOD PARENT wouldn’t let a young girl leave the house dressed like Miley Cyrus with skirts up the ying-yang...

Michelle Obama 2008: ““For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

Michelle Obama 2016: “Don’t Let Anyone Ever Tell You This Country Isn’t Great”

Hypocrite, thy name is Democrat.

I know! I know! But they usually write those up as “official business” but going to the DNC convention can’t be disguised as anything else. They are supposed to pay all their personal expenses (travel/hotels/meals etc.), for trips - HA! - but what the laws says and what it does as far as politicians are concerned is another story. I’m sure it’s not the first president and first lady (barf) who have done this without writing that check for reimbursement BUT I’d like to see that they’ve BEEN BILLED at least!!!

Some agency somewhere keeps track of the costs but to dig it out would take an act of Congress. Judicial Watch reports on the costs of those trips so where are they getting the info from? To my knowledge, they never mention the personal portion!

It’s at the top of my PET PEEVE list and it no doubt will go to my grave with me.

We need to do what we can to keep the mooching 47% from voting. The rule should be that voting is for contributing citizens only.
