Wow! Did you listen to that? Every since the first time I heard Michelle Obama speak I thought she sounded like an angry and domineering woman. I wondered what she had to be so angry about? She’s certainly, by all appearances, has had more opportunities than I’ve had and she most certainly has more material wealth than I have. So what is she so angry about? I still don’t know why she’s so angry, but every time I’ve heard her speak since then I’ve been more convinced that she’s angry and negative.
And now this ….
“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am proud of my country … because people are hungry for change.â€
Barack Obama’s response to this is that its no big deal. Maybe that’s why Barack Obama felt he could ignore the National Anthem and refuses to wear an American Flag lapel pin.
Hot Air said it well …
Only her husband’s run for president has made her proud of America? That’s…extremely narcissistic and self-centered.
Nothing America has done in Michelle Obama’s adult life, which at 44 goes back 26 years to 1982, has made her proud of her country? Nothing? Not winning the Cold War? Not our regular and orderly transitions of power based on the rule of law? Not the fact that we feed and defend the world, not that we lead in science and technology research, not that we elected the first black president in 1992…nothing? Not the fact that she and her husband were able to go to Ivy League schools before embarking on extremely lucrative careers? Not the fact that we help out in disasters wherever they strike in the world? Nothing has made Michelle Obama proud of her country in her entire adult life?
Do we really want a First Lady who doesn’t even like our country?

She reminds me too much of Shrillary, only a tad more holier than thou with the attitude. I think I might like her less than Hillary, but too close to call.

Definitely a child of the drug induced liberalism of the Vietnam era whose main philosophy is a hatred of their own country.
Then add to that, the Obama’s “black” church and its leftist teachings.
The only thing I didn’t see in this story is the Cuban flag with Che on it : )

I agree with you, I have always thought there is something “angry” about her. Her comments were outrageous and what’s worse, she said them at two different events! I wrote an article about it here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/610643/what_does_barack_obama_really_represent.html
I wish I had read your post first as I would have loved to have linked to it and the video clip!

Michelle Obama is very much a black woman who is very strong, intelligent, and controllling. I believe that she will definitely have a
very strong influence if Barack Obama wins. I think she is stronger in her opinions than he is.

Barack Obama is very dismissive when challenged. “Everthing is no big deal to him” I wonder what he would teach his daughters about plagiarism. Just because someone goes to Columbia, Harvard etc doesn’t mean they don’t plagiarize, they just bring plagiraism to an art and act insulted when anyone challenges then After all, they may have written tow books. So what.

As a Veteran, I was ready to defend our freedoms at any cost. Even my own life. To hear Michelle Obama say that this is the first she has been proud of our country, makes me sick. It’s been said. Nothing will change my out look on her or her husband now.
If she can’t be proud of our country then she is free to leave it and find one she can be proud of.
