Here’s why Michelle Obama appeared to snub Kamala Harris in DNC speech (Mooch mailed it in)
NY Post ^ | 8/18/20 | Steven Nelson

There was one glaring omission from Michelle Obama’s 20-minute Democratic National Convention speech Monday night - Kamala Harris.

That’s because the former first lady recorded her rousing speech before Joe Biden selected Sen. Harris of California as his running mate.

The speech was delivered remotely like all others at the DNC because of the coronavirus pandemic, and The Associated Press reports it was filmed before Harris was named last week as Biden’s VP candidate, indicating the choice was so close to the vest and down to the wire that even the Obamas were not in the loop.

**SNIP**

“Over the past four years, a lot of people have asked me, ‘When others are going so low, does going high still really work?'” Obama said. “My answer: Going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that’s drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight.”

Michelle Obama is a misanthrope.

I had her pegged for a lycanthrope.

Hell, she could man the whole zoo with a few different costume changes.

Chief among the haters, not to mention overseer of weak, ball-less men.

Michelle, Hell's Belle.

-- "Things are bad now but if we don't elect Joe Biden things will get much worse." That is a threat considering the present violent actions and threats from BLM and Antifa. --

Yep. That and all the propaganda, legislative, impeachment, regulatory, prosecutorial and court actions will continue to resist.

Trump's second term will be nuttier than his first. Great times! It's naive to think this amount of power will give an inch without a dirty fight.

Also Biden has been relegating the old Obama crew to low ranking positions in favor of the Hillary folks from 2016. Which actually make sense if you read the “behind the scenes” biographies of the Obama Administration where Obama’s folks essentially mocked and ignored Biden every chance they got.


Sounds like the work of Jill Biden. I can believe she’d prefer Hillary to Obama. I doubt Joe is with it enough to fight these political brawls.

Its easy to remember how to pronounce Kamala’s name. Its Kamala like Kamrade.

For those who need further help, pronounce it Kommie-la.

So she couldn’t have re-recorded it AFTER Harris was selected?

The fact that she was too lazy to do that tells me a lot about her opinion of Harris and the DNC.

Except for Kamy the Climber.

I don’t believe for a second the Obama’s were “out of the loop”. It was never going to be Mrs Obama’s place to lift up the VP pick in her speech. Her and Obama always think they are to speak on “bigger ideas”.

Contrary to the author’s assertion, I think Obama himself picked Kamala Harris for Biden. Who it was that could not make up their mind till the last minute was not Biden, but Obama. There is less than six degrees of separation between Obama and everything else on the far left going on in the country. There are lines no one has that connect the dots.

Getting around is tough with an 800 lb. chip on your shoulder... and what is more, Big MO wrote the book on nasty, inimical behavior and language.

She’s also dumb as dirt, if she thinks no one ever notices that stuff!

IIRC, Obama plagiarized part of a Deval Patrick speech once and Deval just said ‘oh, I don’t care’.

If there weren’t double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

“””””””””indicating the choice was so close to the vest and down to the wire that even the Obamas were not in the loop. “”””””””””

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. I’ve always had the impression former prez stompy feet and Grope-O-Matic Biden didn’t like each other at all. Biden was picked as running mate because stompy feet wanted someone dumb as a box of rocks, who would not be able to upstage his highly conceited ass. Remember, he’s always been arrogant and self centered as they get. “I” instead of “we” hundreds of times in every speech.

Obama may be trying to retain some power in DC, but it won’t be much, Hill and Billary still run the democrat party, and they absolutely despise stompy feet. I believe Hillary only got appointed SOS because Bill forced it. He was still top dog, and has always acted like one. A mutt as far as I’m concerned...and with the morals of an alley cat, his wife too.

Also remember stompy feet is racist as they get, and biden is far from black...sure biden kept him out of the loop as much as possible, I’d bet on it. I’ve always thought they despised each other.

Becsuse the Obama are sock puppets, and only read their scripts. Thete is not an original bone in their body. They cannot say anything from the heart.

Gotta have a heart AND a brain to speak off the cuff

She could use an appointment with a 6 ft 6 inch tall Logger from Oregon who has been isolated in a lumber camp for 6 months.

She would sing a different tune, even if only temporarily.
