Michelle Obama: Keep praying to “keep the spirits clean around us”
Hot Air ^ | 13 Oct 2010 | Allahpundit

Posted on 10/14/2010 9:42:18 AM PDT by smokingfrog

Posted for one reason and one reason only: This might be my first, last, and best chance to convert some of the readership to atheism. If the prayers were working, the Times wouldn’t be running articles right now about how much our current “recovery” still feels like a recession, am I right? Quote: “At the current rate of job creation, the nation would need nine more years to recapture the jobs lost during the recession.” If that’s what the clean spirits look like, what do they look like when they’re dirty? C’mon — atheist high-five. Anyone? S.E. Cupp? Ah, you guys are no fun.

Seriously, though, this clip is being featured on Drudge at the moment and I’m not sure why anyone would object to it. It’s just standard “prayers for the president” rhetoric, isn’t it? As old as America. Leave FLOTUS alone! Click the image to watch.

I think the phrase must be rooted somewhere within the twisted-speak of “Liberation Theology”. (Marxism in a religious wrapper)

sounds voodooish to me

That's kind of what I was thinking too.

Anybody know the origins of this "keepin' the spirits clean" thing? I've never heard of it before.

I don't know, but sounds like voodoo to me. They have an unusual focus on spirits and keeping things 'clean' so to speak. Such as sprinkling red brick dust in a doorway to keep out the 'unclean' spirits. Its even more interesting that Michelle's mama was caught practicing some sort of voodoo/hoodoo or something in the white house at some point. She doesn't get these ideas from any stranger!

Definitely isn't a Christian comment that's for darn sure.

I think you may be correct:

It’s the new EPA mandated coating on the aluminum foil that is causing the interference in communicating with the spirit world.

Is Michelle implying that the chosen one and his acolytes are pure spirits and the coming tsunami of change threatens the pure spirit of the one we’ve been waiting for? You know the one that failed miserably?

Why would this convert anyone to atheism?

That's just Ed Morrissey interjecting his opinion.

Someone should tell Mobummer that coffee filters will remove impurities from spirits.

German influence is a lot more vast than the ethnicity. How many of you have said Gesundheit? If ever? There’s a lot of German cultural references that are embedded in American culture.

I for one won't join the punk "Allahpundit" on the highway to hell.

I think she got it from her "MOM" ... it's a Santera thing. Amazing what these people "give up" when they are in front of a large crowd:

Michelle's Mom - Santera

Sometimes I wish spirits would do my cleaning. Is that the same thing? With three kids and three dogs, I’ll take all the help offered. Just a thought.
