blatherings

when you're running for messiah-in-chief, it's not an easy time for anyone in the family.  while "barack-star" is the 'iphone of politics', michelle - his wife - well, not so much.  



this week in milwaukee, she said:  “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”

video of michelle obama's remarks in some context can be found here.

so help me out... only her husband’s run for president has made her proud of America? 

*coughnarcissisticcough*  

this woman is 44 years old so not winning the cold war and tearing down 'that' wall made her proud of America?  not the fact that this country feeds and defends the entire world?  not the fact that each time a national election is held here a regular and orderly transition of power is conducted?  not that we lead the world in science and technology research?  not the fact that we help out generously everywhere in the world when disasters occur?  not that this country elected it's first black president, bill clinton, in 1992? (hehe)  and not even the heroes of 9/11 made her proud of America?

*coughselfabsorbedcough*

ok let me try again... how about the fact that both she and her husband, both raised in middle class educated homes, had ivy league educations at princeton and harvard?  what about the fact that they have had extremely lucrative careers as attorneys affording them the luxury of living in a beautiful home in the 'burbs and sending those adorable daughters to private school?

nothing has made michelle obama proud of her country in her entire adult life???  how sad and how incredibly ungrateful.  and you want to be our first lady?  oy.  next step for the bride of messiah is a "clarification tour" i suppose. 

this couple is creepy.
