Mark Alexander in the Patriot Post takes a look at Michelle Obama (and Cindy McCain) but let's just look at Michelle for a few minutes.
He says "Michelle Obama will very likely be dictating policy if her husband gets elected." That's an interesting conclusion and I am not sure how he comes to that. But if he is right it's a scary thought.
"Michelle majored in sociology and minored in African-American studies at Princeton." and, in her senior thesis she proclaimed "that her college experience 'made me far more aware of my Blackness. I will always be Black first.' " And the capitals are hers.
You know by now that she and Barack were married by the infamous pastor, that their children were baptized by him, and they attended that church, listening to his sermons for twenty years. If Barack never heard his pastor say the things that we have heard, we have to wonder if Michelle heard and if she agreed.
"
Michelle joined the staff of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, arguably one of the most corrupt mayoral dynasties in Americah history."
"She says her campaign role ' is to give people yet another slice of who Barack is, making him even more multidimensional. People want to know not just about policies...but who are you? What do you believe in? Can I trust you?' "
"...her 'black first' indoctrination casts a pall over her vision for America.' "
"Like Barack, Michelle builds her stump speeches around the victimization script. She repeatedly claims that 'America is downright mean' and whines that we are a 'nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day...Folks are struggling like never before...' "
Since their "principal residence is a fashionable South Side Georgian mansion purchased with the help of good friend, and local gangster, Tony Rezko" I am not sure how she sees the "struggling folks" . The economy , up till recently, was in good shape, employment was high, and many in the middle class were not only NOT disappearing but were moving up.
Mark quotes Yuval Levin, a "fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center" who says "By her husband's logic, Michelle Obama must be a heavily armed xenophobic religious zealot, because boy is she bitter...In Michelle Obama's America, everybody's suffering, no one has time to make any friends, no one earns enough to eke out a living anymore, and the bar of success is always being moved just out of reach."
so...if we all thought Hillary was a takeover broad, who had too much influence on her husband and made too many decisions, we do think she has a better view of America than this one. With Michelle's attitude of victim, in spite of the fact that she got an excellent education, a good job, a nice home, a successful (so far) husband , what kind of First Lady would she make? My feeling is WATCH OUT!!
