Michelle Obama strikes again

Don’t you love it when the rich folks run for office and try to sound like they know what it is like to work for a living? Michelle, before you accuse others of being elitist you should look in the mirror. . . .

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle, complained the government’s $600 economic stimulus check was only enough to buy “a pair of earrings” while stumping for her husband.

“You're getting $600 - what can you do with that?” Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan last week. “Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

I don’t know about you Michelle but I have to work for a living to support my family. . . that means that any money I get back from the governments over taxing me to pay for socialist programs goes to pay my bills, my mortgage, and put food on the table for my kids. . . you can ask my wife, we didn’t spend any of our rebate on ear rings or anything else as foolish and frivolous as that.

Hey, here’s an idea, why don’t you dump the welfare state programs and let me keep my own money to support my family and I won’t need your rebates. . . After all the only thing the Fed should be doing is providing for our defense, dealing with other countries, and sorting out issues between the states. You folks have gotten the Fed into all sorts of stuff that is not in the Constitution and was never meant to be under Federal control but should be dealt with at the state level. Of course, most states have learned from the Fed and have become bloated money pits too and we need to fix them, but one thing at a time. . . Here in MA we may take that first step and repeal our income tax in November, wouldn’t that be nice. . . ..

McCain's wife can afford a large credit card and don't hid it. Obama plays games trying to sound like a normal person then makes stupid comments like this to show she has money, just doesn't want you to think of her that way when you vote.

She is trying to play a shell game so the average poor Dem will think she knows what it's like and that she is different and vote for her husband instead of seeing her as she and her husband are - a couple of right folks posing as knowing the average Joe to get elected. . ..

Well, the Obamas have been "normal people" much more recently than the McCains have. Someone was complaining about Michelle Obama's pay doubling as her husband became a Senator. They didn't have the million dollar house before whatever happened with Rezko, and Obama's two book deals became quite valuable.

at least McCain is not pretending anything. . .

Obama changes what he says every day. He has moved flip flopping to a new level
