The very angry first lady Michelle Obama
Michelle’s
back, and she’s madder than ever. She was already pretty angry, seemingly
unhappy with just about everything. As her husband wrapped up the Democratic
nomination in 2008, she let fly her real feelings: “For the first time in my
adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.” A few months into her job as
first lady, her French counterpart asked how she liked the gig: “Don’t ask!”
she reportedly spat. “It’s hell. I can’t stand it!”
Now, she is ready to spew her bilious disgust with America on the
campaign trail. A dignified, transcendent first lady? No chance. Michelleis going to break with a hundred years
of tradition and play the role of attack dog, heaping derision on her husband’s
political opponents like no other first lady before her.
And it’s already begun. Mad Michelle this week popped down to
Davis Island, Fla., to hobnob with the very people her husband despises - the 1
percent. At a massive mansion on the bay, filled with the wealthiest of the
wealthy, America’s first lady launched into a tirade about “them” - the
Republicans.
“Let’s not forget about what it meant when my husband appointed
two brilliant Supreme Court justices, and for the first
time in history, our daughters - and our sons - watched three women take their
seats on our nation’s highest court. But more importantly, let’s not forget the
impact their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come - on our
privacy and our security, on whether we can speak freely, worship openly and
love whomever we choose. That is what’s at stake here,” she said to applause.
Yes, Republicans hope to regain the White House so they can installSupreme Court justices who will trample
Americans’ privacy, ignore the nation’s security, crush free speech and
persecute the religious.
Oh, and they’re rich and racist to boot. “Will we be a country
where opportunity is limited to just the few at the top? Who are we? Or will we
give every child a chance to succeed no matter where they’re from, or what they
look like or how much money their parents have. Who are we?”
That’s right, rich people (white, of course) certainly don’t want
black people to succeed. They want to squelch success based on what people look
like, how much money they have. “Are we going to let them succeed?” the first
lady yelled. “Nooo!” the rich white people screamed.
