Michelle Obama: Barack Is No Elitist Potential First Lady Weighs In on McCain Campaign Ad
Aug. 6, 2008 —
First lady hopeful Michelle Obama says that a recent John McCain campaign ad characterizing her husband as a self-involved celebrity on the order of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears has it all wrong.
"It's funny to have anybody characterize Barack as an elitist," Obama told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts during an exclusive interview.
"You know, this is the kid who was raised by a single mother, who didn't have access to many resources, who, you know, has walked away his entire life from lucrative careers to work in the community," she said of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. "This guy, you know... he personifies all of what, you know, we hope that our kids can be."

They do this all the time. How long did she actually raise him on her own. Not very long, from all I can tell. She remarried when he was fairly young. Then she dumped him on the grandparents. He was scarcely "raised" by her at all.
This will be a fun thread to watch Freeper’s lampoon...LOL
Thanks for the ping
Hey the MSM wrote it....
From the lips of the woman who has ruined Aunt Esther’s reputation.
Hah! I had already kvetched about that myth before I saw your ping. In fact, he was barely raised by her at all.
“You know, this is the kid who was raised by a single mother, who didn’t have access to many resources, who, you know, has walked away his entire life from lucrative careers to work in the community,” she said...
So, you know, being a Senator isn’t lucrative?
Did Michelle say this on her way home from buying a puny $600 pair of earrings?
He went to Punahou and Harvard. Of course he is an elitist commie bastard.
Have you guys seen this slobbering report from the NBA on Obam’s basketball skills?:

LOVED THIS PART:
“.....If you ever get the chance to go up against him, here’s the book on The Senator:
He’s a natural leftie, who likes to fake right and go left.”
LOL...I can’t believe I just read that!!
Looks like Obama Loves Turbins, Robes and Holding Himself during the Playing of Our National Anthem..... pretty sad:-(
LOL...I think it is going to be a pot pie kind of thread.
Maybe they are more on to him than we think :)
“WE are the ones we have been waiting for!” Which really means “I am the one you have been waiting for!”.
That’s not elitist, it’s downright scary.
Google is busy trying to scrub the lampoon images of their ‘Messiah’ from the image search...LOL
I was just trying to google some images to add to the thread and Google has them buried.
I feel like I am living in old Soviet Russia or China these days.
Interesting that Princeton grad Michelle doesn’t seem to know the definition of elitist.
What was on the menu if I may ask,tried the noted site and got no where.. Others will be most interested as well. It was in an EXCLUSIVE Room on the 33rd Floor with Harry Connick Jr singing so Michelle’s poor boy story is down the drain before we get to the menu.
Try watching MSNBC. You are there.
Obama is a LIBERAL EXTREME LEFT WITH NO EXPERIENCE.
HE IS A COMMUNIST AND JUST WANTS TO RULE WITH THE OTHER LEFTISTS DICTATORS (PELOSI, REID, ETC.).
HE WILL CAUSE MANY PROBLEMS UNTIL HIS FOLLOWERS UNDERSTAND
THAT HE JUST ANOTHER EMPTY SUIT AND WILL NOT KEEP HIS PROMISES.
