Michelle Obama Quotes:

So we start with this pretentious line:

“Barack is one of the smartest people you will ever encounter who will deign to enter this messy thing called politics.”

The definition of deign is:

condescend: do something that one considers to be below one’s dignity (wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn)

Then we move to the December, 2007 issue of Vanity Fair:

But Mrs. Obama has no interest in an ongoing quest for the White House. “To me it is now or never.”
…
There’s an inconvenience factor there, and if we’re going to uproot our lives, then let’s hopefully make a real big dent in what it means to be president of the United States.”

We move on to the notion that it is only Saint Barack who can mend us:

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. 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.

Yet she directly contradicts herself with this quote:

“There is still a lot of hard work that we as a country need to do. They can’t look to any one individual, whether it’s Barack or it’s the next new hope that’s going to appear to be that savior. And I would just hate for people to sort of see this potential and think: Oh, now I can rest easy because Barack Obama is going to fix things. It doesn’t work that way.”

You be the judge on whether the following quote is Michelle Obama playing the race card:

From the February 11, 2007, edition of CBS’ 60 Minutes:

KROFT: This is a tough question to ask, but a number of years ago, Colin Powell was thinking about running for president, and his wife, Alma, really did not want him to run.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Mm-hmm.

KROFT: She was worried about some crazy person with a gun.

MICHELLE OBAMA: Mm-hmm.

KROFT: Is that something that you think about?

MICHELLE OBAMA: I don’t lose sleep over it, because the realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know. So, you know, you can’t — you know, you can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen. We just weren’t raised that way.

She continues with the theme of Barack Obama as Superman:

“Iowa will make the difference,” Mrs. Obama said. “If Barack doesn’t win Iowa, it is just a dream. If we win Iowa, then we can move to the world as it should be.”

We finish with this gem:

“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd today, “because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

LOL!

There's no photoshopping in picture #3.

I didn't say you did it. I'm just wondering if the photog or the newspaper did it, because I didn't know she could do anything but scowl.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Okay. It appears that the pic is legit.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Verga -

You have to find a host, like Photobucket, then save your pictures in “My Pictures” in whichever server you use, and transfer the pic from your jpg file in your Pictures onto Photobucket. Then take the html saved pic on Photobucket onto the FR reply.

No caption, but I have to say those thighs look pretty hot in pic #2 from what I can see...

LOL, she mumbles "you know" five times in two sentences. Well, she doesn't have to worry about being insulted by being called "articulate".

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

DOWN, BOY!!!

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Hillary says “you know” a lot too.... drives me nuts....

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

How are you, Cobol? Have you been tuning in to Chris Plante lately?

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

I’m sure I will get flamed for this, but I am really disappointed at the way we conservatives are challenging Obama. I see story after story about Reverand Wright and Michelle Obama. Both of those are legitimate issues, I suppose, but how about we discuss the fact that the guy is left of Karl Marx?

Ah, give it time. The problem lies in that the likes of Kerry, Edwards, Daschle and the whole 2LiveCrew of liberal politicos are busy shielding Mr. Obama from scrutiny, and thus that makes it very difficult for us to ponder what he's really thinking. He won't talk either unless he's got DNC talking points in front of him, so we're only left with Michelle and the Reverend, for now.

Get a load of that blouse. Sheeesh.

I catch him when I can. I usually listen to the show in the evenings on WMAL On Demand.

“Get a load of that blouse. Sheeesh.”

Someone commented that the stuff around her neck were hanging chads from the 2000 election.

[Polyxene]

That is one bitter woman! She has frowned so much, those crow’s feet between her eyes don’t disappear even when she tries to smile!

[cquiggy]

I think she looks more like a man than Barak Hussein.
