Michelle Obama: “Every Day I Hear About How Folks Are Struggling” …(But It Didn’t Stop Her From Taking 16 Vacations)

She cares. She really cares.

Michelle Obama tours medieval Spanish town of Ronda in 2010.

Michelle Obama told an audience of supporters last night, “Everyday, I hear about how the folks are suffering.”
But, so far, it hasn’t stopped her from taking a record 16 vacations in 3 years.
CNS News reported, via Lucianne:

“Every day, I hear about how folks are struggling — the bills they’re trying to pay; the businesses they’re trying to keep afloat. I hear about how folks are taking that extra shift, they’re working that extra job, they’re doing whatever they have to — they’re saving, they’re sacrificing, never spending a dime on themselves because they desperately want something better for their kids.

“And make no mistake about it, these struggles that I’m talking about, these are not new. For decades now — decades — middle-class folks have been squeezed from all sides. See, the cost of things like gas, groceries, tuition — prices continuing to rise, but people’s paychecks just haven’t kept up. And when this economic crisis hit, for far too many families the bottom just completely fell out.”

Truth teller commented:

Notice how she changes the narrative to say that all of these struggles have been going on for “decades”. Does she honestly believe the fraud she married is not to blame for the current state of the economy?

I guess she is as dumb as she looks.

So Moochelle HEARS about the struggles Americans are having thanks to her husband’s gross mismanagement, but what the *BLEEP* is she willing to do to correct the problem?

She wants to be a part of this administration and using her position to further the Left’s Progressive agenda by “suggesting” new rules and regulations the federal government creates and enforces, but actually helping struggling families? PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT!

It’s things like this that make me believe that Liberalism really is a mental disorder. The Liberal thinks that he by speaking out for the “underprivileged,” he’s doing just as much as the those who do actual charity work. To the Liberal, if he’s sticking up for those beneath him, he’s under no obligation to help them, since he’s already done his good deed for the day.

yeah… she hears about it as she’s eating a plate of jumbo cheeseburgers
with a huge setting of fries…. lobster, crab, seafood… champange
then another large plate of KFC and big mac’s
and right after she hears the sad tale of the poor struggling
and americans not finding jobs and paying crapload in fuel and gas…
she wants to take another million dollar taxpayer paid vacation.

….it’s about time 0bama leaves office…. I really am sick of hearing them and seeing them run this country into the ground…

Nov. should be interesting.
>.> the dems wallowing about not being able to find work
will be beyond amusing… …we can just say blame 0bama for the whole 4 yrs…
and blame him for not leasing BP/ blocking the keystone pipeline and other job creation opportunities. *l*

Just read what was said, now, imagine it coming from a friend or someone else.

It doesn’t sound bad but because of the hypocrite saying it, it just doesn’t seem right.

I don’t care what the two do anymore, just stop spending and start drilling. I have reached my limits with Obama and Michelle. It is to a point where they just don’t get it. And anyone could say what she did, I have, you have. Yes, there are people struggling, these words AREN’T new.

The middle class has been disappearing and it is becoming the poor and the rich. And that is Government’s fault and it started with Clinton. People buying homes they couldn’t afford. I saw it during those years. I said how in the world are these people buying huge homes.

It wasn’t just sub prime loans. It was a conglomeration of Americans living the high life and spending more than what they were taking in.

Middle Classes are paying more for less. And who is to blame for this, Socialist like the Obama’s. Rich give to the poor attitude is completely wrong way to boost economy.

Americans if left alone without the shackles of Obama’s regulations, mandates and government takeover of industries, we will recover and we will become richer and hopeful for and better future. NO THANKS TO MICHELLE. Quote what her being proud for the first time in her life. Now, that sounds more like MO.

She is a narcissist and a liar. She doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the middle class. The woman uses tax payer’s dollars to pay for her vacations. You’d think that when people are suffering, the beeatch would stay home., but she doesn’t. She shows fake concern – it is disgusting; she is incapable of feeling empathy for others.

Did she say: shtruggling? She often says a “shtr” sound instead of str. It is annoying and a sign of her ignorance.

Marxist code-word. Same with “struggle”. Straight out of Marx, and Alinsky training manuals.

She must be reading conservative blogs. Those are the only ones that talk about hard times & people working.

Mrs. Obama is irate that people are working harder. She’d rather they go on the dole.
