Here we go again. After being subjected to eight years of the collegial presidency of Bill and Hillary, when we were told that when we got Bill we got Hillary as a bonus, it looks as if we are facing another twofer: Barack and Michelle.
Effete liberal Democrats are all but canonizing Barack Obama, who they see as one of their own -- cool, detached, impressively intellectual -- all in all what Pat Buchanan described as something fresh out of the faculty lounge, where lofty thoughts abound and contempt for the great unwashed is hardly concealed.
That may be an apt description, implying that the Barack Obama who scorned ordinary folks in small towns who, he sneered, cling to such lower-class crutches as religion and guns, is above the distractions of the madding crowd.
It does not, however, fit the other half of the new twofer, Michelle Obama, who far from being above it all is down there in the trenches acting like the flame-throwing liberal activist she is. To know her is to know what her husband really believes.
As I have told my listeners of my radio show, if you want to understand how Barack Obama uncomplainingly sat through all those fire-breathing sermons without so much as stirring uncomfortably you need to understand the way husbands and wives practice their religion these days.
The men in the pews for the most part are passive, while the wives tend to be passionate. In most cases husbands are there because their wives have dragged them there. Chances are that while the women sit in rapt attention to the words of their pastor, the husbands are snoozing, blissfully unaware of what the reverend is preaching.
From what we’ve heard from Mrs. Obama she was paying close attention to the Reverend Mr. Wright, eating up his fiery words and probably enthusiastically nodding agreement as he blamed whitey for inventing AIDS to kill blacks as Barack dozed beside her, wondering when the Reverend Wright was going to shut up.
Barack is now wide awake, and for the next seven months he’s going to continue to be faced with explaining why he remained silent while his pastor ranted in the pulpit. And insisting that during his presence in the pews the Reverend Wright never once acted like Reverend Wright just won’t wash. Poor Barack, how can he admit that he didn’t hear any of that rabble-rousing rhetoric because he slept through all 20 years of it?
If you want to find the culprit here, turn to Michelle. I’m willing to bet she heard every word of the Reverend Wright’s inflammatory sermons, swallowed them whole, and seethed in anger over White America’s wretched mistreatment of her fellow black Americans as described by her pastor.
Nowadays she’s playing the role of dutiful wife and doting mother, but every once in a while her anger surfaces as it did most famously when she told a group in Milwaukee, “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”
Just what is hope in Michelle Obama’s lexicon?
Why it’s nobody other than the man she shared a pew with for 20 years, her husband, who she brags “is one of the smartest people you will ever encounter who will deign [i.e. “lower himself”] to enter this messy thing called politics.”
“We have lost the understanding that in a democracy, we have a mutual obligation to one another -- that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to measure our greatness by the least of these,” she says.
“That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.”
Barack Obama, our sole hope -- the cobbler who’ll mend our poor broken souls. With, of course, the help of his wife Michelle.
Well she has a new name.Aunt Ester from Sanford and sons.Some guy on Rush came up with that today.LOLfunny.
She is by far more daNgerous than her husband. She has a score to settle with women, America and her vision of what America should be and should look like. LOOK BEYOND THE EMPTY SUIT AND YOU WILL FIND AN EVIL WOMAN WHO COULD NEVER LOOK AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR! SHE WILL TURN HER VENGENCE ON ALL WHO DID HER WRONG AND ALL THAT STAND IN HER WAY!
Aunt Ester!
LOL

RIIIIIIIIIIGHHHTTTTT! He slept through the sermons, and SHE DID NOT, and of course she never thereafter discussed the content of the sermons with him either./s
Some guy stole it from me! I made this over a week ago:
...”daNgerous”...? A suggestive use of capitalization,I think...
While having a conversation, moments ago, discussing that some politicians, usually Liberals, pander to the masses by using the same incorrect language, as when Michelle Obama recently said, "Let me tell you who me and Barack are," I had the same epiphany. That statement, by ivy league educated Michelle Obama, that she's happy to insultingly pander to Barack's base, by using the same incorrect grammer, also quite revealingly and unequivocally informs us, "her husband's" presidency will be a co-presidency
Michael Reagan nails it!
Michelle Obama is now performing miracles, she turns honey into vinegar. She also has a steady diet of sour grapes.
He used it in a response to this below:
"I don't know about you folks, but I'se votin a straight Republican ticket this time. Yessiree. No Muslim for me!"
That’s why she hates Hillary so much. Hillary represents the Ivy League that made her feel her “Blackness”.
I said that some time ago. I might have been first???
just look at those eyes.

if the jerk is elected, he can have Boy George do "Church of the Poisoned Mind" at the innauguration.
Won't that be peachy?
Let's not forget that great theme by the one and only Q.
Abbott and Costello (tv series w/ Mike the cop, Mr Fields and Stinky)
Honeymooners
Andy Griffith (w/ Don Knotts)
Green Acres
Odd Couple (Randall and Klugman)
Green Acres is tops in my memories. "Are you goin' in to Hoosterville today, Mr. Douglas?"
Sometimes I think I could be that man. In fact, my very first FR screenname was OliverWendellDouglas. I used to get flamed because apparently O W Holmes was a liberal. They read wayyyyyyyy too much into that handle.
Well, the acter who played OWD (Eddie Albert) was a big war hero.
"At the outbreak of World War II, Albert entered the U.S. Navy as a junior officer, and distinguished himself during 1943 in the fighting on Tarawa. Assigned as the salvage officer, his job was to examine military equipment abandoned on the battlefield to see if it should be retrieved -- but what he found were wounded men who had been left behind under heavy fire. Albert took them off the beach in a small boat, earning commendations for his bravery."
