Six Words Michelle Obama Didn't Say

Anyone else notice that Michelle didn't Thank her Mom in her speech?

Didn't hear any of the pundits comment on this last night.

All it would have taken was six words, Thank You Mom, I Love You.

Opportunity of a lifetime to honor the person who raised and cared for you, gave you a great video intro, and you missed it.

Shame on you Michelle.

Six words Michele didn't say?

Die, Whitey, Die! Die Whitey, Die!

Bet she was thinking them.

[patriotspride]

Yes, she did say those comments, but didn’t stop, and say the six simple words

Thank You Mom, I Love You.....

That’s what I saw missing, and the reason for this thread....

You’re right. Each of their assignments was given to them because of what they represented, not because they earned them.

They are the Affirmative Action Family Running for President.

To me, this was supposed to be a personalizing speech, and those six words would have shown something.

After all her Mom took the time to lend her voice to the intro of her.

From a political perspective Yes, I agree, no real substance offered

Fox poll this morning showed the majority of their voters thought Michelle won them over.

It probably ate her up to have to say she loves America and to say a bunch of other nice things about the country she despises. Another, "the ends justify the means."

And, I believe she can get real mean.

The politics is about class envy and what I can get from the state. There's nothing about faith, family and country in the message. No celebration of God, no honoring mother and father and no praise for American exceptionalism. Those are the things that made America a great country but that's not how the Democrats look at this land. Its not about what you can do for your country, as John F. Kennedy once exhorted an earlier generation's call to arms but rather what your government can do for you! That is the entire theme of "hope and change" for them.

CNN showed a clip of it this morning along with the McCain ad featuring Hillary. I was shocked they gave so much face time to McCain.

[Huck]

It’s a dumb thread. She paid tribute to both her parents.

Ted Kennedy's feelings were more honest than Michelle Obama's praise of the country. I think he spoke what the Democrats really, really think. It didn't jibe.

Not unexpected.

Obama/Michelle supporters will rally to their words. What they will miss is their substance.

To me, substance comes from simpler things also, like “ Thank You Mom, I Love You”

Either she, or her speech writers forgot to include that simple humanizing touch.

I read the transcript. A nice focus group tested compilation of answers to all her off the cuff articulated negativity over the last few months.

I tend to believe the off the cuff comments much more than focus group scripted speeches.

[sarasota]

Same here. I actually get a negative physical reaction as well as a mental one. Even seeing their photos.

[onlylewis]

I couldn’t watch the entire speech but did anyone also notice that the word “world” was used more than the word “country”.

[sarasota]

See #7. She did honor her mom as well.

How about the fact that when Obama went to Hawaii, he visited his grandmother - the woman who supposedly raised him - and he went alone, without Michelle or the grandkids. And he only stayed for about 30 minutes. I have wondered why this little angle hasn't been explored.

And don't tell me it's personal, he is running to be my President, he has no privacy.

Anyone count the number of times yesterday and last night these speakers said “God”? The Pledge does not count as one.

When she said “That’s why I love America”, it made no sense in the context. And Barack didn’t even know what city he was in...until his daughter asked him again. With the way he bumbled around trying to say good-night to them, he must use a teleprompter just to tuck them in.

[monocle]

“Power” = a thought-terminating cliche
