Two weeks after making her disdain for the nation clear during a campaign speech for her husband in Wisconsin, Michelle further debased America by saying that we're a country that is "just downright mean."
Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I'm young. Forty-four!"
"You're looking at a young couple that's just a few years out of debt," Obama said. "See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn't have trust funds. I'm still waiting for Barack's trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s'posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!"

My thoughts exactly. If Barak had any damn sense, he'd keep her muzzled through the campaign.
Any country that kills 65 million children since 1979 is at least, well, inhospitable.
Not defending this idiot woman’s point of view, but this factoid alone would have to be taken into account at some point. I think 50 years hence we certainly might. They’ll talk about us like we used to talk about the Spartans, only the bit about the poor Spartans had no basis in fact. The Spartans didn’t throw their undesirable children off of cliffs. The irony is this idiot thinks abortion is simply a lifestyle choice.
You’d also have to take into account that we’ve given more lives defending the freedom of so many people (58MM free since we declared our independence).
If you chose to only consider the good we’ve done, but only for those that managed to escape their mother’s labias, her statement is absurd. I won’t mention that we are more philanthropic than the next 15 countries combined - not counting direct US Government largesse or military support.
Let it talk.
One thing she said was that it was impossible to get a good education “because of charter and magnet schools.” LOL she went to a magnet school! Hypocrite!
She’s the gift that keeps on giving.
: )
Excellent. Let both of them start whining.
More popcorn needed!
Her Her appetite for "reparations" is never sated, she's simply owed more, just ask her.
Worst of all is the condescending tone in which she wraps up all of that. She feels as though it’s her sacred charge to lecture us, the unwashed mass of helots.
yeah, really. What was THAT all about.

My parents NEVER took a vacation. Couldn’t afford it.
Don’t want no angry first lady in office agin.
You are so right. People usually don’t improve with age.

"Poison" Ivy League?
I read her "shool" paper she wrote. It was one very long cliche'.
Well, boo frickin hoo! My parents immigrated here with me when I was 5, with nothing. They put 4 kids thru college, & we’re all makin it work. No trust fund, nothing. We have what we put away.
To me the ‘bamas are weathly.
If you have no appreciation for this country, get out. I would have never had the opportunities if my parents hadn’t come here from eastern europe.
America may have its issues, but if you work hard, its the best place there is.
“Don’t want no angry first lady in office agin.”
Agree - and a double victim first lady.
That must be the Bible wherein Jesus calls for gay marriage.
