Tone deaf.
Michelle Obama reacts as she is welcomed by cultural dancers after arriving in Gaborone, Botswana, on June 24, 2011 during her African vacation. Next to Obama is Botswana’s Assistant Minister of Finance Gloria Somolekae.
Michelle Obama bashed the rich during a big donor luncheon today in Cincinnati. She just returned from the family’s 16th vacation in three years.
The Examiner reported:
First lady Michelle Obama has joined her husband’s bandwagon to hit the rich and spread the wealth, questioning how well-off families can feel good if others are struggling.
To about 300 supporters wealthy enough to pay $300-$10,000 to attend the mid-day event, the first lady said, “If a family in this country is struggling, we cannot be satisfied with our own families’ good fortune.”
She also rapped the rich, as has her husband. “Who do we want to be?” Obama asked. “Will we be a country where success is limited to the few at the top? This country is strongest when we are all better off.”
Fundraising in Cincinnati, Ohio as her husband raised cash in Florida, she also said that the change President Obama offered in 2008 “does not come easy.” And she added, “change is slow, but we will get there,” according to a pool report of the event.
Didn’t Michelle come from humble beginnings? Then why is she lecturing Americans on a country where “success is limiting to the few at the top?”

Well any rich person (probably crony capitalist that would be nothing without raping honest Americans) deserves what they get form these clowns.
a former dem commented:
the woman has to be one of the stupidest people on the planet. What a clueless buffoon.
The demonRat party is the party of the rich, they like to pretend they;re for the middle class and then go to a fundraiser to call us “bitter clinging americans”
I couldn’t stand Bush, but I loved Laura Bush, class personified, a woman proud to be an american, loved america.
Patty commented:
There is only one answer, they have taken Slavery and made it their campaign. I do believe that they want to punish all those who have money. Yes, you all are going to say, of course.
But this is something that has been taught, Rev. Wright had many speeches and I am certain he was also a Socialist but more than that, the Slavery and the hate towards the Whites, by some. OKay! not all blacks, Cain, West and others do not live their life trying to get “Pay Back”.
Something more sinister has to be going on with the statements of late by both Obama’s.
“Will we be a country where success is limited to the few at the top? “Will we be a country where success is limited to the few at the top?
Read this and think about it. There has never been a problem being successful. Talk to those who have made a great life with hard work and toughed it out. They may fail but they get up and start again. They don’t quit.
This country is strongest when we are all better off.” What the h is she saying.
The real statement should read: Our we better off than we were 3 years ago. Her husband has policies, mandates, more regulations that have stifled our progress and growth.
OMG, please give the voters the knowledge to vote the two of them out of the White House.
I do believe that their parents screw them up big time.
Frances commented:
DO AS I say, not as I Do!!
Patty commented:
So, our money and more importantly those who have made it and create 1,000 of jobs are to give their money for more food stamps, Welfare, Social justice, homes like the sub prime loans given to those who didn’t have enough money to afford them.
Pay for everyone while there is 49% of the population who don’t pay any taxes. Because of the home lending practices, Obama 5 trillion and counting polices and mandates we are losing ground and now instead of admitting he owns this we will owe others. And think about we have done nothing. We are proud of ourselves our success and if we WISH to give to others that too is OUR choice not a woman who was elected to nothing and least of all Obama.
Patty commented:
People living off Government are satisfied just sitting there doing nothing, we are paying for their laziness. We are paying for all of the Solyndras and failures of Obama and the she say this garbage, with a straight face.
While she has all the money she could ever need. And they have the audacity to treat us like their slaves.
JeffC commented:
just look at that picture … THAT woman is hailed as a fashion icon ???? apparently you don’t have to come from a trailer park to have the tastes of trailer trash … between her and her husband they couldn’t scrape together a singles days worth of real work their entire adult lives … ignorant and racist is now way to go thru life Michelle …
Patty commented:
It is hypocrite and arrogance. The two of them are peas in a pod.
The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…. The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means… The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be….” pp.25-26
Notes: Apparently, Michelle Obama referred to these words during her Democratic National Convention speech:
“She said, ‘Barack stood up that day,’ talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, ‘and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘The world as it is’ and ‘The world as it should be…’ And, ‘All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won’t do – that we have an obligation to, fight for the world as it should be.”
Do you wonder who — or whose values — should determine what “the world… should be?”

These two moochers have been living high on the hog over the last 3 years now…have them lecturing anyone about the money they have work and earn is just plain stupid…can’t believe people would pay 300 a plate to listen to such crap.
Fionnagh commented:
Anyone remember offhand what percentage the Obamas contributed to charity over the past few years? My recollection is, it’s disproportionately low. Ditto Joe Biden.
saveus commented:
they have no shame or decency
proudredneck commented:
#13 I believe it was 1% couldn’t get to much lower than that…
Hugh commented:
Gross. Pandering to the uninformed. She must REALLY think people are stupid. And you would have to be REALLY stupid to not see the irony of her statement. Phony. Hypocrite. Evil does not typically recognize itself . . .
Buffalobob commented:
How are these two any different from the tin horn dictators who steal the wealth of their countries from the poorest of the poor?

I think Michelle has a major chip on her shoulder. Look for Michele to have a major comming out and into your face diatribe after Barack leaves office.
Opaobie commented:
Caption for that photo: Michelle Obama crotch-stares as she and her girl friends are treated to a preview of the “Gaborone, Botswana Chippendales”…paid for by American taxpayers.
Blah55 commented:
Either they are at Barack’s high school reunion or that’s Obama’s brother, George, who lives in a hut, happy to see uppity family. Moochelle is looking lovely as always… all she needs are bells on the end of those heels and she would look like Santa’s favorite elf with hat hair.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Tone deaf.
Not tone deaf, more like brain-dead.
After witnessing this bite-the-hand-that-feeds-me display, anyone who would be dumb enough to vote for Obie again, let alone donate a big sum to his campaign, deserve to be badmouthed by his shrew of a wife.
squeaky commented:
the term would be door mat. the legends in their own mind would be nothing if not for than the none so blind as those who would not see. they seem to go together and feed off one another. kind of like the sadist and the masochist. someone shouldn’t have to wee wee on your shoe more than once for you to get a clue.

it’s going to hit the fan – even for the “leave michelle alone” crowd. as your life is minimalized it will get harder and harder to make excuses. when even a big night out at mc donald’s is too rich for your pocketbook.

Obamas regulation destroy jobs commented:
Patty I agree with you 100%. She didn’t complain when she got her $300K salary with at Woods Co with Jarrett’s help–or her Princeton affirmative action free education. They hate whites and anyone that’s rich except for donations by rich Hollywood star lites. I just want them out of the White House he is the biggest flip flopper ..and laughs about the gas? He also wouldn’t allow 155 ships to help the GULF spillage–and stated..”Want me to suck it up with a straw?? What about HOLDER and GUN RUNNER????? NOTHING done..NOTHING by him..
Do the Hispanic’s want another Dictatorship? What about the freedom to reach the top? They don’t want anyone to reach the top ONLY those they choose–and they better not be white..I believe ALL Americans know he is a HYPOCRITE he is the 1%….they spend more money and she has 33 personal aides? He doesn’t CARE about ALL Americans only the UNIONS! Our gas is being SOLD SOLD SOLD and its HIS and LISA JACKSON S policies enforcing the sale to CHINA!!!!!!

Hello? Michelle’s dad was a Department of Public Works patronage position. He made good money, much than had he been a high school teacher. They lived in a two-story brick house, with a fenced yard. Hardly a humble beginning. Michelle was propelled into talented and gifted programs. These programs are such that if an average student placed in them were enriched, they would do better. No doubt her father’s position might have had some influence on her being allowed to participate in those programs. Just practicing for tin-horn dictatorship.
