Democrats are using one of Barack Obama's strong suits, that voters believe he understands the problems of ordinary people, to trump his weakest suit, the economy.
Michelle Obama played those cards with force in a speech declaring that after four years as president, her husband is still the man who drove a rust-bucket on early dates, rescued a coffee table from the trash and knows the struggles of everyday Americans because he lived them in full.

They know what con means. Saw a picture of Mochella speech at the DNC. Did anyone notice the grey highlights in her hair to match the bottom of her dress?. Sorry Mochella a miss again. Makes you really look like Aunt Esther on Red Fox only she looks younger. It doesn’t make you look more wise.

The first and last struggle Barry had was out of the birth
canal, and not even then if the doctor used forceps.

She's got to be kidding.
Does the First Lady understand the amazing amount of work Mitt Romney did to start up and run Bain Capital? Romney worked many, many long hours to make it an amazingly successful investment company--one that has major investors like a lot of union pension funds....

He’s been watching workers do it for 4 years. But do the workers understand how hard it is to play a bad lie in the rough on a par 5?

What a joke! He never went to a regular public elementary school, never attended a Christian Sunday School, never played little league baseball, never played football in high school, never had a lemonade stand or fast food job to make spending money, never had to worry about getting into college, never worked his way through college waiting tables, never had to worry about money to buy a home because he was friends with a crook who gave him the money, and never had to work hard for election to public office because he slandered his competition and drove them from the race. Everything has come so easy for this unAmerican American. He has absolutely nothing in common with us, no matter what his drama queen wife says.I was going to post a similar comment, but you said it all! I'll just add that this guy wouldn't know what hard work was if it bit him in the ass.

To: Phlap
I have no doubt that he knows the meaning of “struggle”. There is no more marxist/leninist/communist word than “struggle”.
To: Phlap
Exactly. This dope never worried about anything. He had everything handed to him and continued to have everything handed to him.
Even though Romney is rich, he seems to know the concerns of average people much better than Obama given the stories about how Romney constantly was helping his neighbors and members of his church and community.

Hopefully he’ll be struggling to walk in shackles when he’s led off to the Federal Penitentiary for all the crimes against this country. Most notably, treason.

What a terrific story Michelle told last night. Michelle's Dad worked every day to provide for his family. Despite the family's financial struggles Michelle attended the best schools and succeeded in the American dream.
Now my confusion starts what is it that the Obama team wants to change? Does Michelle feel her Dad should not have needed to work?

Yes, Barry often could not pay for his own drug use.
To: silverleaf
Yeh not to mention when Barry met Sally she was already working at a law firm pulling in probably six figures. How poor could they have been?

Interesting, they backed off the --goat herder-- Kenyan father story. Every thing was about Obama's grandmother.
Maybe influence from the movie Obamas America 2016
