Michelle Obama hits Hub to raise funds
Globe ^ | July 1, 2011 | Glen Johnson

Posted on 06/30/2011 11:27:16 PM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Michelle Obama’s visit to the Chestnut Hill home of philanthropists Elaine and Gerald Schuster, the fifth such stop on a fund-raising tour that started in May, provided her with the opportunity to to make her financial pitch in very frank and personal terms.

She told an audience of about 120, which included Governor Deval Patrick but was mostly women, about her transformation as a political wife, as well as the toll the presidency takes on her husband each day.

“I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice. ‘You won’t believe what these folks are going through.’ He told me that last night. ‘Michelle, it is not right. We’ve got to fix this. We have to do more,’ ’’ she said.

I read the drivel she was pushing at her fund raiser she is a big fat liar. I suspect they are putting her out because she has a higher rating than her husband. During the 2008
campaign she said that senior citizens should pick up dog poop for their SS checks. Thanks to our fabulous media the seniors were not given the memo.

max americana: “Stop lying wookie”

In keeping with the Star Wars spirit of things, read post #5. In case it isn’t obvious, Obama is playing the role of Tarkin.

“But I think that the last four years have shown us the truth of what Barack has always said: That if any child in this country is left behind, then that matters to all of us, even if she’s not our daughter, and even if he’s not our son. If any family in this country struggles, then we cannot be fully content with our own family’s good fortune, because that is not what we do in this country,’’ she said.”

Yeah, like those poor children in D.C. who were thriving in a vouchered charter school program that Obama discontinued almost immediately after inauguration. Sent ‘em back to the crime & drug infested failing public school system...He really cares.

Michelle, do you and Barack itemize on your Income Taxes?

Do your Rich Donors Itemize on theirs?

If you answered NO to either question, please STFU.

Drudge: "Michelle uses TelePrompTer for "small and friendly audience".

First lady describes toll of job on husband

"When she spoke, the towering first lady eschewed the platform that had been placed behind the microphone for Elaine Schuster’s introduction."

"Yet while Schuster spoke from typed notes, the first lady used a TelePrompTer, despite the relatively small and friendly audience."

Oops, me bad.

If you answered NO, you're a LIAR.

He must have found an open date on their Wednesday Night Celebrity Partay schedule.

I don’t believe her.

Any worry her husband has is being humiliated in the next election. Won’t this be the first time he has to actually run on a record and not just his telepromptor speeches?

I do think he has mental problems however - it’s like he’s about to explode.

I can’t believe people would pay to listen to this self-absorbed woman whine about the toll the campaign put on her and how she’s making Barack still pay for it 3 YEARS LATER!

And since she really cares about kids that are “left behind” I’m sure she will invite all of them to Martha’s Vineyard when they vacation there again next month.

Yep Moochelle ma Belle was here in Zombie-Ville (Burlington VT) yesterday, but we don't really know what she said at her 3 events (2 fund raisers and a phony photo op with Guard members and family) as the MOST open and "transparent" Administration did not allow local TV news station to attend and record her remarks. One of the local reporters remarked that their press credentials were not accepted

Coupled with the fact that the local/state biased Far Left Rag (Gannett's Burlington Free Press) is a big time Dear Leader supporter/defender, gave us very little details such as the number of Guards who showed up, what she said, who attended the $5,000/plate dinner, the menu, whether like in Boston, she used a teleprompter, etc.

I think I read somewhere that one Code Pinko Loon did show up to protest and he was "escorted away by security personnel."

She’s got a better speech-writer than he does.

Sadly, I think that WE are the ones that are paying for it. Wonder where the next international “goodwill ambassador” trip will be.

Pure, craven marketing. No substance. No truth.

Pure Unadulterated Bovine Excrement.

Not as bad as yesterday when he told the Congress they need to stay in Washington and do their job,just before he went to Philadelphia for a fund raiser.

The two pieces of used toilet tissue spend more time at fund raisers than they do together. Maybe that’s why.
