"Barack Will Never Allow You to Go Back to Your Lives as Usual."
Last night I appeared on Hugh's show, and his producer Duane mentioned a Michelle Obama speech at UCLA. Captain Ed talked about this a bit, but I hadn't seen anyone transcribe the part of the speech where it gets a little... unnerving. It starts at about 8:41 in the audio.
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
I'm sorry, nowhere in the Constitution does it authorize the President of the United States to demand anyone shed their cynicism. And I'm all for people pushing themselves to be better, but I don't think the President demanding it is the way to go about it.
And what if we kind of like our lives as usual? What about Americans' freedom to be uninvolved and uninformed?
Darleen at Protein Wisdom transcribed what follows:
"You have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, you will have to be engaged."
Ah. Apparently apathy will be criminalized, then?
Does anybody on the left side of the aisle find this rhetoric a little creepy? Isn't this describing an authoritarian presidency way beyond anything George W. Bush has done or proposed?
Do the powers of the presidency really encompass everything Michelle says Obama wants and plans to do? Based on this rhetoric, isn't he actually running for messiah?

I can hear those fake Russian accents in my mind :-).
Liberals are like locusts. They screw up one place, and then move on to do it somewhere else.
"And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false. In order that all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness" (2 Thessalonians 2:11,12).
The majority in America no longer believe the truth, therefor the lie will not bring judgment and destroy the once great land. The only bright spot here will be that those of us who believe and know the truth will be able to present light, when the darkness consumes the nation. Judgment day lies at the door of the U.S.
soory—should be “will bring judgment”
I am with you James... We have to stop Obama..
The proletariat will get with the program, or there will be consequences for the proletariat.
His Black Muslim brother? Who do you mean?
My favorite line is when Baldwin imitates Sean Connery as Ramius;
"Be careful Ryan. There are things in there that do not react well to gunfire."
It's actually quite a good impression.
Creepy? More like damned scarey! If that does not sound like a dictator, then what does?
No, I think he's running for the anti-Christ.
“empty suit”
not so, he’s got a bunch of (loose) change
We will change the world... and the American taxpayer will pay the bill for it. You know he has advocated a 500% increase in taxes on guns and ammo and that is to start.
Get out! Link, please?? 500% INCREASE in gun/ammo tax? Eeeegads..
“vote McCain and stop Obama”
Gotta be done
People cannot be held “accountable” unless they are controlled. Sounds like Communism’s social crimes -and we’re already seeing those!
Well, at least all his supporters will... this will raise America’s IQ by at least twenty points and decrease the amount of ditzy teenboppers by about thirty percent.
There is, however, a small problem for him: we are involved in a war with radical Islam, and perhaps a civilizational war with Islam as a whole, and thus, poor Barak Hussein Obama is a marked man: a murtad fitri, son of a Muslim father who has apostacized from Islam.
The inevitable assassination attempt by some Muslim loon will facture the American and Western left. Part will finally get it, part will spin idiotic conspiracy theories that the Muslims from oversea were really Amercian evangelical protestants, or were hired guns fronting for them (despite their own deaths--mercinaries usually try to survive to collect their pay), or. . . The portion of the left that finally get it will push support for the war (and maybe even for the campaign in Iraq) well into majority territory.
Then again, he might just get a head wound in the assassination attempt and survive, and his VP who happens to be descended from the tribe of Dan (anyone know which of the ancient tribes Bloomberg's bloodline runs to?) might take over and generously finance the installation of brain-computer interfaces in the entire population and. . .
(Okay if that's obscure, there is an Orthodox Christian tradition that the Antichrist will be a Danite.)
If that happens, I'm moving to Russia. (My fellow Orthodox will understand why.)
Don’t worry, if he’s elected we’ll be hearing exactly that kind of thing....
