Michelle Obama is a Downer
Barack sells hope. Michelle sews despair.
If Reagan was “Morning in America,” Michelle is “Things Couldn’t Be Worse.” From a New Yorker piece, “The Other Obama”: (H/T LGF)
Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. “We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day,” she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. “Folks are just jammed up, and it’s gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I’m young. Forty-four!”
Help us. How does this inspire anyone?
The only woman who is more shrill is . . . her husband’s opponent.
