Kamala Harris's Obama Makeover
WFB ^ | 23 Aug 2024 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 08/23/2024 8:32:55 AM PDT by Rummyfan

"Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn't it?" asked Michelle Obama at the top of her stemwinder speech to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week. "You know, we're feeling it here in this arena, but it's spreading across this country we love. A familiar feeling that has been buried too deep for far too long. You know what I'm talking about. It's the contagious power of hope." Hope and change: the twin themes of her husband's winning 2008 campaign.

...

The convention's goal was to revive the faded tropes of Obamamania and use them to aid Harris in November. Entertainment figures who appeared on stage and in the audience turned the proceedings into not just a political event, but also a cultural one. Harris has her own Shepard Fairey poster. Stevie Wonder, who rocked Mile-High Stadium when Obama was nominated in 2008, spoke and sang in Chicago. Oprah Winfrey campaigned with Obama at a critical point in his ascent. She endorsed Harris from the dais. "We won't go back," Winfrey told the adoring hometown crowd. "We won't be sent back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back. We're not going back." Oprah, where have you been? If you watched the DNC, you would have come away thinking the current president is Donald Trump. More was said about him than any issue or policy. The Democrats charged Trump with insurrection, bigotry, misogyny, lawlessness, and cruelty. And that was just night one. Every night featured a segment on the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a policy handbook Trump disavows. Not that Trump's actual agenda mattered to the Democrats. He was blamed for all problems facing the country—the economy and inflation, the border and immigration, the uncertainty of abortion law.

Wasn’t Harris part of this administration which drove America into a ditch?

Only if by wonderfully magical you mean a mixture of brimstone and horse shit

"We won't go back," Winfrey told the adoring hometown crowd. "We won't be sent back, pushed back, bullied back, kicked back. We're not going back."

People want to go back to:

Lower energy prices, lower inflation, safer streets, closed borders, no wars....

“You know, we’re feeling it here in this arena, where we promised that beyonce would sing a mini concert for you, but failed to provide because we didn’t want to spend the $$ - ha ha suckers!”

They always were the same - no make-over necessary.

Michelle Obama [said]: "You know, we're feeling it here in this arena, but it's spreading across this country we love.

Probably one biggest BS lies told all week at the DNC. The Obama's have nothing but hatred towards the US.

Its so reassuring knowing that unicorn farts, rainbows, an unqualified bimbo phony marxist, and MASSIVE TAX hikes are going to fix all of the USA’s problems (which, incidentally, were caused by the do-nothing lying bimbo and her boss). The definition of insanity is doing the same garbage over and over and thinking there will be a different result everytime.

Sounds like the Kamala campaign is fueled by Hope and Joy and Jack Daniels.

I watched bits and pieces of this trashy display of stupidity, arrogance and downright lies. It was shameful and these monstrous humans stating that they’re the answer and we must look to the future.

Three and a half years ago they were supposedly the future. That future was the worst administration in the history of America. I wouldn’t trust them to manage an ant farm!

The show was a disgraceful presentation of nincompoop, singing the Star-Spangled Banner? An unpatriotic screaming parading the lesbians up there to sing a meaningless ‘song’ was a mistake.

All in all, typical Democrat cluster f—k.

"Something wonderfully magical is in the air!"

This kind of self-deifying drivel is what makes Michelle so popular among Democrats and the media. It's like her husband's, "We are the people we've been waiting for" schtick.

The USA managed to do quite well without massive numbers of elective abortions from the 1600s to the 1960s.

Dear Childless Cat Lady:

We have no record of a child of yours paying FICA or Self-Employment Tax. Please reapply for benefits when you reach the age of 72. Bear in mind that much of the FICA tax you paid was spent on paying for your parents’ benefits, or people of similar age under FDR’s scheme of social insurance.

Letitia Ramos, Social Security Administration Benefit Clerk

“She said, “Chart a new way forward,” but she’s had three and a half years, and has done nothing but HARM!”

“She’s talking about the Middle Class, but she’s the one who broke the Middle Class, and made it UNSAFE AND UNAFFORDABLE!’

“She’s projecting an Opportunity Economy, but I created Opportunity Zones, the Most Successful Economic Development Policy in years!”

“She will obliterate Social Security and Medicare by giving it away to the Millions of Illegal Immigrants who are infiltrating our Country!”

“She said she’s going to lower the Cost of Housing, but Houses were More Affordable under TRUMP! Also, why didn’t she do it?”

“No specific programs, ALL TALK, NO ACTION — Why didn’t she do it three and a half years ago?”

“Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community
by
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson
A thesis
presented to Princeton University
in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the degree of
Bachelor of Arts”

“The socio-economic status of the respondents’ parents in
addition to the individual’s career mobility are likely to
place these individual’s in social and economic arenas more
compatible with Whites, who make up a large segment of mid-
dle class Americans, because they will be able to afford all
of the luxuries typical of the White middle class. Thus,
the higher the class and the more upward the career mobili-
ty, the more comfortable these Blacks will be with Whites
than with lower class Blacks. Class and upward mobility
will probably influence the dependent variables in the same
way that time spent influenced the independent variables.”

I didn’t read the whole thing, but you can:

It was a colossal mistake to put celebrities on the stage, given the current hostility toward Hollywood. People will equate Harris — and rightfully so — with these decadent left-wingers.

Obozo ought to know. He is the Trojan Horse who flim-flamed the country into wheeling him into the WH.
