Michelle Obama Mocks Democratic Voters: 'I Ain’t Going to Vote... I Couldn’t Wake Up'

by Jeryl Bier

In speeches designed to fire up Democrats to vote in midterm elections, President Obama has at times described voters in his party as having a "congenital defect." Wednesday, First Lady Michelle Obama suggested the problem might just be that they're sleepy.

Mrs. Obama spoke at a rally in Philadelphia for the Democratic candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf. In an effort to boost turnout in November, the first lady told the crowd that she runs across voters "who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up." But she stressed that every vote matters:

So this is where -- when I find people who are like, no, I ain’t going to vote, or I couldn’t wake up, or it doesn’t matter, or why -- 20 votes decided who your Governor was in 2010, and it could decide who the Governor is this time. 

The first lady wasn't finished with the sleepy-voter theme. Later in her remarks, she expanded on the idea:

Mookie whipping the field hands: “Get up before noon & vote!”
One comment was that this was an `old story’. We all know this is standard lefty MO. The clock is ticking on any number of Democrat scandals, while they stall, delay and obfuscate, and each day that goes by they stand ready to use that defense, “Hey, this is old news ... “
Ferguson, MO: “Is it noon yet?”

I'm sure if those don't wake up you Dem's can find replacements for those, like at the nearest cemetery's.

She let slip what rat politicians really think about people. Whether it’s true or not what she is saying. Rat/commie/leftists all think they are better than everyone, and they need to help them or they would die. It is the soft bigotry of low expectations. They are the potter and we are the clay.

Reminds me of Obama “talking down to black people”? Jesse Jackson threatened to castrate him at the time, IIRC...

“Listen to your overlords, you stupid lazy black people” - Michelle Obama

Or she could as easily have said “ demo voters need to get out and vote for us so we can steal more from our/your neighbors”.
