Michelle Obama's Desperate Plea For Votes
breitbart.com ^ | 10/20/12

Posted on 10/20/2012 12:38:13 PM PDT by Justaham

Just 18 days from election day, the Obama campaign is beginning the final push for votes in the most critical "fire wall" swing states on their electoral map. To that end, First Lady Michelle Obama gave a rousing and impassioned speech in Racine, WI last night to a fervent and committed crowd of core supporters.

The speech, and the First Lady's delivery, was at times shrill and desperate as false straw man after false straw man was hoisted up before the devoted crowd only to be struck down by Mrs. Obama with passionate force. "Don't let anybody talk down your country!" she implored the crowd, not specifically citing any example of how her husband's opponents have done such a thing.

Instead of just focusing on the positive and personal traits of her husband, Mrs. Obama spent most of the 34 minute sermon on policy issues.

Count the hysterical straw men Mrs. Obama dwells on when she wades into policy: From taxation "teachers and firefighters should not pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires, not in America," to deficit spending "we know good and well that cutting Sesame Street is no way to balance the budget," to health care, "we believe in an America where no one goes broke because someone gets sick," to pabulum that is not related to any specific policy but sounds a lot like socialism "we believe in an America where no one loses their home just because someone lost a job."

Michelle Obama: “For the First Time in My Adult Lifetime, I’m Really Proud of My Country"

=============================================

First Wookie has selective memory: "Don't let anybody talk down your country!" she implored the crowd, not specifically citing any example of how her husband's opponents have done such a thing."

Pardon the double post - just got up from my nap and the Red Bull I'm sipping hasn't kicked in yet!

Sorry.

"And she sounds like she’s preaching to 1st graders. She kept saying, “Do you hear me?” “Do you understand me?”

I know! It reminds me of the movie Rush Hour when Chris Tucker meets Jackie Chan at the airport and thinks maybe Jackie Chan can't understand him so it speaks loudly:

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?"

That Illinois prison might help house the First Grifters after a very necessary trial for corruption.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CRIMES YOU HAVE COMMITTED?"

"HAVE YOU BEEN READ YOUR MIRANDA RIGHTS?"

I don’t know if she appeared as shrill as just sad - on the verge of tears almost. Defeated.

For those reasons alone, I'll break my self-imposed rule and listen to her.

She looked and sounded desperate to me....On the verge of tears sometimes...yeah. Probably.

Serves her right for lying. SHE’S WORKED HARD? At WHAT?
