Michelle Obama spoke with the Tom Joyner Morning Show about the things people can do to get out the vote for her husband, and actually offered a rather insulting portrait of those who are undecided -- as well as inaccurately portraying the race as between grassroots Democrats and a handful of rich Republicans.
The most damning passage:
"All of us know that one person in our lives -- that one knucklehead nephew that's not registered to vote. That one neighbor who's not really paying attention. That one coworker who's confused about how Barack's tax plan will benefit that individual. Those are going to be the conversations that make the difference. And in this election, we're gonna be making a choice about how we want our democracy run. You know, do we want our president selected by people rolling their sleeves up, knocking on doors, or are we gonna hand it over to a couple of people who write big checks?"
So in reality, if you disagree with the president, you're just "confused about how Barack's tax plan will benefit" you, and it's up to your friendly neighborhood Democrat coworker to enlighten you. It's like she lives in a world where reasonable people couldn't possibly disagree with her husband's approach to government -- no, they're just knuckleheads. Right.

Do what you’re husband says wookie. Sharia law has much to say about disobedience.
I cannot believe it would ever come to this. I loathe these two even more than I loathe the Clintons.
Hey, big ass Michelle who tries to tell us what to eat, it is a republic, not a democracy. Ben Franklin told us it was a republic....if we could keep it. This republic is in serious jeopardy if he is re-elected.
By “extended” he was referring to geography–never before in history has there been a republic that covered so much territory.
“Limited” refers to the fact that the Constitution expressly defines what the government can and cannot do.
“Commercial” refers to our national character.
The Founders said that there were three main national characters–martial, religious, and commercial. Rome had a martial character, as does China. Ancient Israel had a religious character.
Since religious and martial-character nations tend toward tyranny, the Founders chose commercial.
By “federal,” Madison meant as much power as possible was preserved with the People, and that the federal government only existed for specific and limited purposes.
The idea of federalism is that the closer one gets to the People the more power there is, while the closer one gets to the federal government, the less power one finds.
“Democratic” refers to the idea that we are a social democracy, although not a governmental democracy.
Social democracy is the concept that intrinsic in our culture is the understanding that all men and women are created equal, that no individual is better than another, and that everyone has equal opportunity to succeed.
(As an interesting side note, Oliver DeMille gives an updated version of Madison’s lengthy label. He says that we are now an “Internationalist, Sometimes Constitutional (Except Where Prohibited By Law), Extended (Globally), Increasingly Commercial, National, Representative/Virtual/Popular Democracy, With a Technocratic Supremacist Court.” But that’s a conversation for another day…)
As James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper #10:
“…democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
“Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.”
In a pure democracy, all it takes to pass a policy is simple majority vote. But what happens if the policy encroaches upon unalienable rights? If 51% vote in favor of it, the 49% who voted against it will be tyrannized.
Furthermore, what always happens in a democracy is that very few people are even actively involved–which means that it always degenerates into some type of aristocracy or oligarchy, or rule by few.
To quote James Madison again:
“A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises the cure for which we are seeking. Let us examine the points in which it varies from pure democracy, and we shall comprehend both the nature of the cure and the efficacy which it must derive from the Union.
“The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended.
“The effect of the first difference is, on the one hand, to refine and enlarge the public views, by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country, and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial considerations.
“Under such a regulation, it may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more consonant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves, convened for the purpose.”
In other words, a republic has a much greater chance of protecting and preserving unalienable rights than does a democracy.
Democracies in history have always degenerated into “mobocracies” that tyrannize minorities, and they have always failed.
Beware of those who say we are a democracy — they are those who will encroach upon your unalienable rights in the name of equality.
Blacks=knuckleheads
Everyone else=racist
“That one coworker who’s confused about how...”
If any of my libtard coworkers make any attempt whatsoever to duscuss my political inclinations, they will shortly be sitting down to a meeting witnessed by an HR representative (during which they will be advised to stop the harassment).
The “worst lady” should keep spouting her true feelings. Maybe...just maybe...she will influence some people to open their minds about these communist fools. mooch-elle is such a subhuman blight on society.
Leftists lie.
All the time.
About everything.
Sharks bite.
Skunks stink.
Leftists lie.
It's what they do.
And wasn’t there something recently where she told ‘supporters’ to bring their lazy friends to help out the campaign?
Because they are all lazy and need something to do - I guess in Obamaland, that makes the lazy friends eligible for welfare. I’m sure they all like being called ‘lazy’ by their favorite black woman.
If anyone else said that, they would be attacked because they ‘disrepected’ the lazy friends. Which she did.
Ask not what Barack's tax plan will do for you, ask what it will do for your country!
I guess that means that all the historians who established an historical definition for fascism ( nationalist socialism)since World War II are confused as well.( Its the reason that Obama detests Winston Churchill)
Buahahahahahaha!

nah, she said it....just close your eyes and listen again. It’s there.
You know, I think that she’s such the racist that she even hates the true ‘African Americans’. She is just as hateful as her 0pansy hubby.
“That one neighbor who’s not really paying attention”
That neighbor probably wasn’t paying attention in 2008, but now that everyone around him has lost their income and/or house, he has to be aware. Either that, or he’s stoned.
