Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama offered the following as a non-explanation of her remarks about not being proud of her country ….
Asked by WJAR-TV if she would like to clarify her comment, Obama replied that she has been struck by the number of people going to rallies and watching debates, as well as record voter turnouts.
“What I was clearly talking about was that I’m proud in how Americans are engaging in the political process,” she said.
“For the first time in my lifetime, I’m seeing people rolling up their sleeves in a way that I haven’t seen and really trying to figure this out - and that’s the source of pride that I was talking about,” she added.
OOooohhh. Okay. She misspoke. She meant she’s never been proud of the POLITICAL PROCESS in this country. Wow. How silly of everyone to think she meant what she said and said what she meant.
She made these prepared statements in at least two speeches. She said it deliberately as part of her speech. She is a Princeton and Harvard trained attorney who has had a successful career. Attorneys make their careers as masters of language. Attorneys are never careless in how they word statements and/or questions. Yet, she misspoke these carefully prepared statements.
Typical of the LearJet Liberals to whom she was gearing her speech, its not cool to be proud of her country. Its also cool to hang around in their mansions and discuss how horrible the United States is for being an ‘empire’ and imposing its will on the rest of the world. She knew exactly who she was talking to and she knew what they like to hear. Communism is what they imagine to be the utopia form of government. Never mind its failed in every country that has ever tried it. She is Ive League educated, after all. She knows exactly what the intellectual elite expect from their politicians.
And even worse, how dare we expect her to actually have enough respect for the common people’s ability to understand the English language to own up to her own comments.
If I didn’t know better I’d think she thinks we’re all stupid.

Too bad we have nothing to really go postal about! Now we are turning over pebbles looking for dirt. As a black woman I know what Michelle means.
We all really knew what she ment, BUT, we must find fault. Put a cork in it!
Grow up and look at the world for real.

She meant what she said you could tell by the way she said it.

Maybe you could do a little more investigating and find out who edited out the “Really” from her statement, giving her statement an obviously different meaning. Some news service, you are writing smear articles based on an edited version of what she said. What a joke…, you owe your readers and the Obama’s an apology and retraction equivalent to the amount of times you have aired this “story”.

Why don’t you just STFU until you know what your talking about. You just don’t like the idea that a black woman is smarter than you.

My, oh my, what a literate, cogent, rational set of defenders Mrs. Obama has.
