Michelle Obama: ‘Instead of Pointing Fingers and Placing Blame, Barack Got to Work’
cnsnews.com ^ | 9/17/12 | Melanie Hunter

First lady Michelle Obama, speaking in Gainesville, Fla., on Monday, said that while the nation was on the verge of another Great Depression, President Barack Obama did not assign blame – instead “he got to work.”

“The economy was losing 800,000 jobs every month, and a lot folks wondered whether we were headed for another great depression. Now this is what Barack faced on day one as president. That’s what awaited him, but instead of pointing fingers and placing blame, Barack got to work, because he was thinking about folks like my dad, like his grandmother,” the first lady said.

“Since the day he took office, on issue after issue, crisis after crisis, that’s what I’ve seen, that’s what we’ve all seen in my husband. We’ve seen his values at work. We’ve seen his vision unfold. We’ve seen the depths of his character, courage, and convictions. Here’s proof: Think back to when Barack first took office, and our economy was on the brink of collapse,” she said.

I just spat my spaghetti and meatballs over my monitor.

Did she just say Barack didn’t blame anyone? Do the words “mess we inherited” mean anything to her at all????

I think the pressure is getting to her. Maybe she needs to take a vacation.

It’s a good thing that SOMEONE in obama’s family worked once upon a time because he sure hasn’t.

Barf! I wish I had a dollar for every time I had to hear another reference to the mess Hussein inherited. I can’t wait for the day when we won’t be subjected to those lies any more.

The only question is, does she know that she’s lying?

Thanks Justaham.

Is this satire? Because if it isn’t, it sure as hell ought to be.

Yeah, he was working real hard in Las Vegas. At a time when the nation was having tremendous anxiety, President Obama ran to Las Vegas and hid at a fundraiser.

I’m sorry - but I have to comment on your statement. I believe you need to modify it. It should be:

“EXCUSE ME while I HURL!”

I believe you needed more emphasis on that first part! ;-)
