I didn't check the author before reading this. By the end of it, I knew this was a master. I wasn't at all surprised to see Mark's name at the top.

Great article!!

Obama emphatically boasts that he can never 'disown Rev. Wright, anymore than he can disown his grandmother or his black race"!

So now that Senator B. (whose middle name must NEVER be spoken) Obama has disowned Wright,,,,

we he also "disown his grandmother",,,,

and then, "disown his black race"??

Will he keep his word, or what? Promises, promises, promises.

Michelle Obama is a bizarre mix of condescension and grievance — like Teresa Heinz Kerry with a chip on her shoulder.

Best comment in the article!!!...lol

Another masterpiece from the inimitable Steyn. But shouldn’t the headline read, “Grandma Got Run Over at the Press Club”?

Michelle Obamas actions, words and looks remind me of that air-headed dizzy dame Cynthia McKinney.

By your fruits shall you be known.

Sorry Obama but your known by your fruity wife.

The title is just a tad misleading.

On Thursday, when Hugh played the sound bite of michelle hussein’s complaint about Ivy League students being forced away from social work and into the more lucrative private sector because they needed money to pay off their student loans, Hugh had to cut off the sound bite because Mark Steyn was laughing so loudly at it.

Mark could barely offer his analysis of michelle’s statement because he was howling in laughter at her.

Courtesy reply:

Shows the height of arrogance from both Michelle and Barracks about their attitude towards the real world.

This attitude is common place with many who are either identified with or have either been raised or risen from lower socio economic groups.

Pinging the NEW Mark Steyn Ping List.

My apologies for the late pings.  I have been trying to finish up a bathroom remodel that I have been working on since New years and am almost done.

My life will return for what passes for normal for me soon I hope.

I decided to ping this one Rummyfan since it is not excerpted.  Please keep them coming though!



On or off, FReepmail  or Ping me.

Cheers,

I’m sure the waitresses and checkout clerks nodded sympathetically.

Nah, they're just bitter and turning to guns and religion! ;-)
