    Although I do not support an Obama reelection, I do think Mrs Obama deserves an Academy award for her delivery of the speech.

    She indeed, did very well. Particularly the last 5 minutes or so. :thumbsup:

    America is being swallowed alive by debt, household net worth has dropped by about 40% during the Obama years. Obama has run up five trillions dollars of debt in less than four years. Long term unemployment has doubled under Obama.
    And Michelle says Obama is so wonderful...let's give him four more years. Who is really out of touch? Someone advocating failure for America and it's families...Michelle Obama.

    Michelle as President is a scary thought, indeed.

    The only people you convince with kooky stuff like digging up college thesis papers is other republicans. Independents and Democrats just say "oh look. Another paranoid kooky Republican."

    Having a First Lady, and in your scary world, future President, hating America and writing racist thesis papers is going to be a lot more convincing than you are suggesting. The only people who will not care about this, yet scream about all things GOP, are your fellow progressive religious flock.

    Surely you have seen movies in the past year where certain actors did a good job and you are so proud of them too !

    I didn't hear Michelle discuss $16 trillion dollars worth of debt. I wonder why not?

    Michelle Antoinette didn't sound as black as she does when she's stumping in the ghetto.

    What's up with that?

    Did a Republican write that speech for her? Talking about hard work, the American dream, etc. How does any of that apply to her or Barack? What a load of horse(*)(*)(*)(*)

    I'm not sure what that means.

    Does Romney have a collection of voices and accents he uses depending on the audience he's talking too?

    I don't think so.

    A pretty sounding polished lie is still a lie. And probably even more sinister considering how well disguised the lie is.
    Michelle wants four more years for her husband. America has suffered through the last four years, seeing a 40% drop in household net worth,
    and there is absolutely nothing that Obama has said that makes anyone believe things will change.

    Five trillion dollars added by Obama with nothing but debt to show for it. Bernanke and Obama are playing with fire and Michelle wants more of the same? It's insanity.

    Can't get over her claiming that she was only proud of the US when her husband got elected. NOTHING can remove that opinion from history. Can't trust a single word she ever utters after that.

    “Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”

    “our families didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success we admired it”,

    Complete and utter bull(*)(*)(*)(*)
    Their whole campaign is based on envy and class warfare.

    Some of the subliminal messages they were speaking of constantly were pro “government” ie. teachers, janitors, first responders, the city water plant and military — all admirable jobs, but all unionized government jobs nevertheless. (except for the military..but THEY hate his guts)

    She is a decent deliverer of prepared remarks, but it was forced and plastic and relying entirely on emotion.

    Essentially the sub-text was “you did not build that” and how government helped you get to where you were going and how you were helped along the way by government because without government none of you could do anything..so vote for more government and we'll keep giving you stuff....
    marx and engels could have written that speech.

    Over the past few years as First Lady, I have had the extraordinary privilege of traveling all across this country.
    Yes..we noticed..and other countries, too

    I've seen it in teachers in a near-bankrupt school district who vowed to keep teaching without pay.
    Obviously they weren't members of one of your pet unions. Union teachers wouldn't do THAT. It's all about the money with unions. Especially government employee unions..

    Every day, the people I meet inspire me…every day, they make me proud…every day they remind me how blessed we are to live in the greatest nation on earth.
    The first time in her life she was proud of america was when her husband was elected...she said a few years ago..I notice she avoided that black militant stuff this time.

    Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys…Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house…and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.
    Child, please. She worked in a law office and he was...whatever "community activists" do/are...generally rabble rouse against white people. Then he got elected to the state senate where he had an excellent voting record. He consistently voted "present".
    State senators make decent money..after all..it's a government job..and we know how they LOVE government jobs.
    She can save all that "we're common people just like you" bull(*)(*)(*)(*). They both went to Ivy League colleges..albeit as affirmative action beneficiaries..not that they EARNED their way in..

    My father was a pump operator at the city water plant....
    Unionized government job.

    And when my brother and I finally made it to college, nearly all of our tuition came from student loans and grants.
    Most white college students need student loans...

    Grants=Free stuff from the government for minorities.

    But my dad still had to pay a tiny portion of that tuition himself.
    but not all of it..minority preferences

    You see, for my dad, that's what it meant to be a man.

    Like so many of us, that was the measure of his success in life – being able to earn a decent living that allowed him to support his family.

    through his government job that he got due to affirmative action laws

    And as I got to know Barack, I realized that even though he'd grown up all the way across the country, he'd been brought up just like me.
    Yes but WHICH country?
    brought up just like you... with racial resentment and jealousy toward whites



    Barack's grandmother started out as a secretary at a community bank…and she moved quickly up the ranks…but like so many women, she hit a glass ceiling.
    And for years, men no more qualified than she was – men she had actually trained – were promoted up the ladder ahead of her, earning more and more money while Barack's family continued to scrape by.


    Yes she was white..negroes often get promoted over the white people who trained them..affirmative action, minority set asides...



    They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did...in fact, they admired it.
    LIES...pure doubletalk. ..when it's useful to invoke the "evil rich" class warfare meme they don't hesitate...

    We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make…that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.
    See above. This hints at "redistribution" of wealth. Compare soetoros charity donations to romney's (1% vs 16%) She's a hypocrite.

    We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters…that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules…and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
    Affirmative action doesn't count, though, right?...and as far as "honesty and integrity" explain why soetoro bypasses congress and senate to issue "emergency" executive orders that he KNOWS wouldn't pass the regular way.

    soetoro said a few years ago;
    “When there’s a bill that ends up on my desk as president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing,”
    What happened, barry?

    We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean…and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.
    janitors and teachers... unionized jobs

    That's why he cut taxes for working families and small businesses and fought to get the auto industry back on its feet.
    He didn't SAVE anything...He stole it from the share holders and gave it to the UAW..Doesn't FIAT own GM now anyway? Ford is doing just fine..and they didn't take any bail out money...Wonder why she didn't mention that?

    Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it…and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.

    blah..blah..no one is depriving anyone of "opportunity" in this country.If ANYTHING it's artificially tilted to give negroes an unfair advantage

    The hyenas always have the "opportunity" to take the fresh kill from the lion...do they have the ABILITY is the real question..soetoro wants to steal the kill from the lions and give it to the hyenas..


    I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard – especially when it's hard.
    Child, please.

    I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as "us" and "them"
    WHAT??? his whole life has been about "us" versus "them".This whole campaign is about it...child, please.

    And if our parents and grandparents could toil and struggle for us…if they could.... send a man to the moon, and connect the world with the touch of a button…
    I assure you, michelle, none of your parents, grandparents or distant relatives had ANYTHING to do with sending men to the moon or inventing the telephone/computer/satellite phone or whatever she's referring to.

    This isn't a game man. Glossy speeches and apple pie don't make the world go round.

    It was all bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and you know it.

    I am tired of headin how good a speech was. It's a packaged message that distorts reality.

    I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) how good or bad a speech is. It's not important.
