What Michelle Obama said
Here’s the video via Hot Air of The Soul-Fixer’s wife admitting that she hasn’t had a real moment of pride in her country for the duration of her adult life:
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth. In this case, it’s what happens when a Democrat politician’s wife says what a significant portion of the party’s base really believes.
You’ll note the immediate applause after she delivers the line.
But, hey, DON’T QUESTION THEIR PATRIOTISM!

Well, she will only be first lady. Not like they matter much.
(not trolling, just taking a cheap shot at hillary.)
One can only conclude that she is proud because she’s doing well. If Hillary was winning would she be proud of her country? No.
Michelle and B Hussien Obambi may be worse
narcissists than Bill and Hillary. Me..me…me….
Michelle, before you contribute to everyone taking a few sentences out of
context you should take the time to watch the compete speech. Leading up to that video clip you posted she was talking about the bar being raised for Obama’s campaign as they succeeded during each step they have taken so far, like so many people getting involved at the grass roots. THAT IS WHY SHE WAS REALLY SO PROUD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE! In the context of what is different so far in this campaign compared to her past experiences.
Later in the speech she talks about, paraphrasing “a great nation like ours having an impact helping out poorer nations in the world” among other positive ideas.
You and all the people trashing Michelle Obama here in comments need to do is listen to the speech at C-Span in it’s entirety. You may not agree with some ideas, but in no way was she dissing this country like you have suggested.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves for latching onto to this firestorm from a few sentences taken out of context.
Video from C-Span.
rtsp://video.c-span.org/archive/c08/c08_021808_obama.rm
(will open Real media player)
Or goto C-Span’s website and look under Recent Programs on the main page, here.
I’ve been reading your blog closely from the the very beginning back in 2004. Jumping on the bandwagon here taking something out of context is what you usually stand up against.
What are you going to do now? Go on Fox News later today and contribute to taking this out of context in front of a national audience?
Mister P~
If we got into Vietnam with the blessing of the legitimate government of the nation of Vietnam, that’s really not an invasion, now is it?
spin it however you like olympian, shes an ingrate. and all they do is speak in sound bites, obama hasnt voted on any issues and is the king of pandering, the queen being hillary.
Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country… Or something like that.
America is great. If you are looking for perfection you will not find it here on earth. That my friends, (I couln’t resist.
) is in the heavens. However, people from all over the world flock to America – why is that?
Michelle cannot even see the irony in her statement. Nothing to be proud of? WTF?? In what other country would they have the opportunities that they have had here? The world is not emough.
Not spin. The spoken words prove it, but you have to listen to the speech. Something a bandwagon character assassin expert like yourself is probably too lazy to do.
enough
lol olympian I’m glad you have figured me out it’s taken my girlfriend years to do. sure your names not karnack?
I agree 30, emough is emough.
You made the “ingrate” comment, not me.
Her speech overall, considering the audience she was speaking too, was excellent. What she said about common sense values would stand up to any conservative litmus test. (32 minutes to about 34 minutes in the video)
aj,
From a fellow bca (bandwagon character assassin) to another. Truth be told I was to lazy to hit the ‘n’ on the keyboard.
Of course, after you smear someone, then enough is enough. Let’s not look at the facts.
Sure its an invasion based upon the request of that government. Just as we INVADED Normandy. The problem as I see it is that you are giving it a negative connotation.
Doesn’t he really mean, turn off the TV so they can take cocaine like he did?
What do these two issues have to do with one another? If you are looking for a pretext on which to launch into an anti-Bush tirade, I’m sorry, but this isn’t one.
This is about a woman whose husband is running for the highest office in the land. We have a bounded DUTY to “nitpick” everything she says to determine exactly what kind of persons would be occupying the White House.
Bush/McCain’s stance on illegal immigration is a complete non sequitur and bears absolutely ZERO relation to the thread at hand.
BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND…
My 95 year old black grandmother just died last month, and if she heard what Mrs. Obama said, she’d immediately pronounce her a fool.
My take is that Mrs. O thought that by saying what she said, she was repudiating any and all recent “Republican progress” over the last 25 years but she probably honestly forgot that it included the Clinton reign as well. Or if she did recall it included the Clinton golden years, she’d probably argue that “progress” was stymied because of a Republican congress.
But I wonder if Barack asked her later, “What? You weren’t proud to marry me??”
I was just playing with 30, shes a friend, that wasnt meant for you oly.
lets just not speak to on another shall we. thank you.
Great post Major O. And I sorry to hear about your grandmother.
No problem.
BTW, your next chance to trash Michelle Obama, Michelle Obama in Warwick, RI, Wednesday, February 20th.
Well he did say he wants kids to have every opportunity he had.
Here’s a link to his old high school – the tuition page…
olympian2008
Let me help you out here. Take your favorite brownie recipe and add a sprinkle of dog poop. Now tell all your friends and see if they want to partake. I am betting no.
Some of us can see through they yummy part and notice the poop.
I’ll go ahead and dutifully play my role as a-hole lawyer polemicist in an effort to keep it just a little real and attempt to counteract the demagogery of the echoe chamber that is this thread. Here goes:
…for context, I’m a McCain guy (and except for a brief flirtation in this election cycle, have been since the 2000 election), and I disagree with most of Obama’s policy positions (at least the ones I care about).
…as olympian pointed out, listen to the whole speech before you make silly comments. Politics being the game it is, she probably should’ve stated her thought differently, but any reasonably intelligent person knows what she meant in the overall context of the entire speech. I think it’s important to be just a little intellectually honest, especially when discussing individuals with whom you disagree on substance. If you want to be taken seriously that is.
…there’s a difference between criticizing a particular administration and making negative comments about your country. Guessing most of you will experience this phenomenon firsthand over at least the next four years during the Obama presidency. Paraphrasing Jefferson, “love your country, but distrust your government”. Make sense?
BTW Gabe, you crossed the line quite a while ago. Your ridiculous and unfounded comments regarding Obama are irresponsible, defamatory and not worthy of this site. You come off as a fool and a mirror image of your counterparts over at DKos. You might want to trade some of those degrees you claim to have for a bit of common sense.
Rusty said:
But that’s just the problem, isn’t it? She didn’t stop to think about it, but rather went with her instinct. And among the far left, hatred of all things American is so deeply instictual.
CarpiJugulum said:
Ah, she said adult lifetime. So to be fair, we should only include things since she became a legal adult in 1982. The first thing that came to my mind was, she’s not proud of all the aid we sent to the tsunami victims in Thailand and around the Indian Ocean in 2004?
Pretty high, but I will say that the public schools in Hawaii are just terrible. We actually got together a paid for a girls tuition at St.Elizabeth to get her out of the public schools. My nephews went to Damien.
This is not the first dumb comment I’ve heard from her, nor will be it be the last. And of course the only outlets that publicize these comments are talk radio or bloggers like MM. Everytime she opens her mouth she’s whining about hard her life is.
Again, you and your husband are very lucky – successful, wealthy, you have a lovely healthy family, and you live in a country where you can freely speak your mind. Why don’t you learn to appreciate it?
If all the “unhappy” leftists in this country really wanted “change,” and truly wanted to move the US in the right direction, perhaps they would be willing to leave, en masse, and leave the U.S. for good.
That would be a GOOD CHANGE. Not only would they help the United States become a better country, their absence would provide jobs for millions of the “happy” citizens left behind, and all those poor illegal immigrants that they so soundly embrace, as well.
I am sure most of the world’s socialist utopias would welcome them with open arms, as they would only strengthen their political ideology. How happy would they be in Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Spain, Italy, Russia, Serbia, Angolia, and other places whose leadership they love and align with so much?
I suppose then is that she’s not proud of our First Black President! Poor Bill and all his worthiness.
Patriotism isn’t being proud of your country unless it turns into something completely different either. That’s what you numbskulls don’t understand. I can name many, many things I’m proud that my country has done and how it has bettered itself, if you can’t, then plain and simply you are not patriotic, period.
Bottom line here is that in “certain company” this comment would not only be perfectly reasonable and accepted but some would even cheer….see her audience. It really doesn’t matter whether or not she means it.
Also, the video cut Michelle has posted here has been tampered with or it’s a bad recording. When I watched the C-Span video in it’s entriety the word “really” isn’t cut off like it is here.
It’s disappointing to see a high quality and quantity columnist, blogger and excellent contributor to Fox News like Michelle Malkin post this video without any context at all.
If your DUTY is to nitpick everything she says, you’re not doing a very good job of it by picking a single sentence out of a 30+ minute speech and ignoring the rest.
You might want to think about quitting your day job. I’m guessing her calendar is pretty full for the next couple months. And I’ll bet there’s a backlog of work for you to catch up on. Now get to work!
olympian2008 said
Context? Enlighten us please
See my first post up above with all the details (and video link at C-Span). Michelle Obama referred to our country as a ‘great nation’ in this speech.
omg, Signed up with McCain yesterday, someone please call hell and see if it’s freezing over, dakine and I have more in common than I ever would have dreamed of.
I suppose you can look at the “great” nation from many angles.
China is a great nation (population, size) – unless you take human rights into account.
To make reference to the USA as a great nation is a no-brainer. To say for the first time in her life she is really proud of her country is just nonsense. Also, “hope is making a comeback”? Because of BO? Where has hope been? And putting the farmer in Iowa in the same boat with people on the south side of Chicago is just pandering.
The glitch on the word really is just something that happens. If you have watched as many videos at Hot Air as I have, you would see plenty of audio burps. Now who is nit-picking?
way OT-
This is beyond off topic, but if any of you have a walgreens nearby all Valentines candy is 75% off and they have the good stuff. better hurry though.
Don’t be lazy. Watch the video. She said that we are a great nation because of how we assist poorer nations. If you watch this video in it’s entirety and come away saying she was dissing this country then you are dishonest. It’s obvious she wasn’t.
The clip that has been cut from her speech can make it seem that way though.
She stated in the video that her reasons weren’t ‘Just because Barack has done well..’
She knew exactly what she was saying…and it’s just what THAT audience wanted to hear, which is why she said it.
She’s an ingrate.
What did she mean exactly by … Barack has done well … Is she saying he has done well by passing lots of helpful bill in the Senate? Or, that he has made lots of money in private practice in addition to the perks as a Senator? Or, his fund raising, speech making and image as a healing savior is beyond her expectations? Or, that he has done well in getting her into a prospective first-lady position?
Fortunately, conservative talk radio host Mark Levin isn’t part of the mainstream media establishment, and on his program Monday, said what most press representatives would if they had any spine, and didn’t behave like shills for the Democrat Party.
“What do you mean for the first time in your adult life you’re proud of your country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because you think people are hungry for change? Have you suffered? Have you suffered, ma’am? I’m tired of people putting down this country. I’m tired of people pretending that this is still pre-slavery, pre-segregation, pre-internment. That we’re in a depression. I’m sick and tired of people ignoring the enormous progress we’ve made in this country and sacrifices one generation after another have made to make this a more perfect country. I’m sick and tired of it. [...]
I don’t give you a pass. You finally have hope for this country? Well, that’s somebody else’s kids over there, fighting and dying so you can go to an Ivy League school, so you can send your kids to a private school, so you and your husband can have your day in the limelight, and to make millions of dollars. Stop putting down my country! Stop putting down my country when there’s so many great people doing so many great things so you can have it all, so we all can have it all. No more pandering. Enough is enough. This may work with the radical left, but it doesn’t work with me, and it doesn’t work with most Americans.”
She couldn’t be proud of this? This has been going on even before she was born. She is being a little disingenuous isn’t she? Isn’t that what this thread is all about?
I did watch the video. I can pick that thing apart if I wanted to. I picked a few things I found lacking i.e. farmers in Iowa/SS Chicago persons, hope is making a comeback. I watched the clip you decided was tampered with. I posted some comments from the short clip that most people will watch. I haven’t enough time to poke holes in the entire speech. What I gain is BO is not the “hope” she proclaims him to be. I am not fooled by her speech. She does not speak for me or about me. My hope is not in BO (or McCain either). If this is what we have to hope for, we are doomed.
P.S. did you watch the clip I posted?
Easy, there soap – have you taken your blood-pressure medication today? Hate to see you have a stroke over this. There are, after all, more important things in the world than pointing out the obvious to the oblivious.
Message to Ms. BHO,
I hope you continue to open your mouth and let the voters know what you and hubby really think of America. I also hope the clinton machine gets as much info. on you two to crater your chance as ‘first lady’. You are discusting. In my wildest imagination would I ever think of you as ‘first lady’, almost as bad as bc as ‘first male’.
L
I’ve got four words to cleanse the aftertaste of Michelle Obama’s bile from everyone’s palate: First Lady Cindy McCain
cpodug
I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue!
Airplane!
Seems everyone is analyzing thia as if there was real content. Just like everything else coming out of the BO campaign, its just good sounding fluff with no substance. She didn’t think about what the words mean, so long as they amounted to good sounding fluff.
Maybe you’ll learn something from this. If you don’t want your patriotism questioned, don’t question mine.
Wasn’t there a rule of a certain color about this? The red rule? The blue rule? The silver rule?
HAHAHHAHHAHHHHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAA
AHHHH
We are all going to learn something from lgm.
Pay attention everybody.
Go ahead lgm – teach us something!
and let us not forget that other classic MO-ment when talking about her baby daddy on 60 minutes…
“He is a black man in America. He could be shot anytime he stops to get gas at a service station.”
this is an angry misguided and racist woman….
Barack Obama – like Hillary Clinton and just about every other leftist – is NOT who he wants us to believe he is. They are engaged in an elaborate charade, and every once in a while – like this quote from the Mrs. – we get a glimpse inside. It’s like when Hillary Clinton said “I’ll take the oil company profits….” Every once in a while we see who they really are — who they will be when they govern — and we should all be scared as hell. A lot of folks watch Obama and see all this hope and optimism. I watch him and I see such transparent fiction that I truly cannot believe anyone is falling for it. His wife, with less experience in front of a mic, just isn’t as skilled at the charade as he is. She forgot, for just a moment, that they have a fictitious narrative going that they must adhere to until after Nov. 4. With people like Barack Obama and his wife, the name of the game is NEVER LET THEM KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND WHAT YOU REALLY THINK.
lgm, I think you are refering to the “Don’t feed the troll” rule. Get hungry you tool.
I’m sadly not surprised by Mrs. Obama’s statements. That said, I am prepared not to care as it is her husband who is running for President and not her.
Their collective lack of pride for the US (as demonstrated by refusal to salute the flag, raise hand over heart, etc.) is problematic for me. I may not like all aspects of a McCain candidacy, but at least I don’t have to worry about where his sentiments lie in regard to his nation of birth.
olympian2008, I think we got it. You’ve done your duty and the high command may summon you for more someday.
All I could do was shake my head when I heard this. I had a feeling that sooner or later this woman would open her mouth and insert her foot. She is a prime example of what is wrong with the black community. How long can you continue to blame your problems on poverty, drug addiction, and racism unless you make an attempt to change your life? It’s really sad how people just suck up the hot air the Obama’s continually produce…
Michelle Obama is about 6 weeks older than I am. While she was at Princeton I was in the US Army, when she was at Harvard Law, I was at a State run university. There is much to be proud of in our country but as usual the ingrates can see nothing but darkness. She makes more money in a year than my husband will see in 3 or 4 years and more than I would see in 5.
LGM I question your patriotism every single day. You are a person who hates everything about America that is good, you despise the military and those who serve/d in it, you do nothing but whine and complain about your “rights”. You indoctrinate students in your classroom. Scary thing OMS is that this clown is a college prof. Scary isn’t it?
As for Renee and all the other new trolls, you’re all good for a laugh just as the regular crew is.
I saw the video and you can try to spin it anyway you want. She’s not proud of this country. Cuba is a nice spot.
Come on, terrig, let it all out….Tell us how you really feel….
I have listened to various points of view on tv and radio and have read this entire thread. I don’t need to listen to Mrs. Obama’s entire speech because that sentence says it all. She chose her words poorly. As an educated woman who seems to have everything in this world going for her, I suppose I expect more.
From the Newsweek cover story:
By her own admission, Michelle Robinson was obsessed with race since her early twenties. Moreover, she was self-pitying and paranoid.
I suspect little has changed in her soul since then.
Well. Well.
Wouldn’t she just be a wonderful first lady? *blech*
Funny, but my high school freshman describes the same situation happening now and it has nothing to do with race. Some people are just snobs. I guess if you look hard enough for something, you’ll be sure to find it.
Oh, and I bet the girls she claims ignored her and her friends on campus were probably Dems.
Why would we expect Obama to be proud of the USA? The Obama’s church of 20 years is a black separatist church pledging it’s allegiance to Africa first. When the silent majority stops putting up with this racial segregation and disharmony preached in many black churches we may be able to unite….as Americans. Not African-American, Latin-American, Asian-American, but united as AMERICANS!
terrig said (#150):
Bottom line: she’s smarter than you. (I don’t usually insult threaders but I’ll make an exception here).
That’s meritocracy. Suck it up (another phrase I wouldn’t normally use here).
That’s a bad habit. How do you feel when someone questions your patriotism?
I never said this. You’re angry that I disagree about Iraq. Pulling out does not mean disrespecting the soldiers. Staying in is getting them killed for nothing, hardly a sign of respect.
Don’t you know, respect for rights is a big part of what makes America great. Not just yours and mine, but at Gitmo, in police stations, etc. America created the concept of God given rights — We hold these truths … They belong to all people, not just Americans.
Actually lgm, there are a lot of people that went to Ivy League schools that aren’t all that smart. Many on the left consider GWB quite the idiot, yet he went to one.
Sometimes people are more lucky than smart. Not always, but it has been known to happen…cough..cattle futures….cough…cough..
Point taken about a meritocracy. We do actually live in one, largely. But again, plenty of people out there hold positions for which they aren’t quite qualified.
On
So, I guess terrig is like one of those stoopid people who got stuck in Iraq because she wasn’t smart enough to do anything else? Thanks Sen. Kerry.
You’re right about one thing, our country is great. But the day we afford terrorists, who would saw our heads off just as soon as look at us, the rights we have as Americans is the day this great country is in serious trouble.
I wonder just how strongly lgm might feel about the rights of one of these animals we’re fighting if it were standing in his living room looking at his family.
Might be kinda hard to get all broken up about his rights….
Before I respond, I have to wipe some lgm off of my shoe. That was a pretty loathesome and uncalled for attack on terrig, but I suppose one should expect no less from creatures from the deep.
There were many people that went to Ivy League Universities not based on merit nor academic achievement but rather based on racial preserences in the name of affirmative action and based on family connections.
In one of her interviews, MO noted that she was told by her friends and others that she did not have the grades to get into Princeton. If she did not have the grades, how do you suppose she got there?
As for metitocracy, MO was hired in her new position AFTER her husband became a US Senator. And the position she holds there of community outreach director is one of those jobs that are more oriented to “progressiveism” than to adding to the bottom line.
And finally. lest we forget, BO ingratiated himself into the Chigcago Dailey clan to launch his political career. Anyone who has any inkling about Chicago politics knows how that machine works, and how “opportunities” are created out of thin air based on the right political connections. Merit has nothing to do with it.
Yes, this country that shamed her advanced her education and career by unfortunately taking opportunities away from more qualified candidates. Maybe what bothers her is that two wrongs never make a right. Nah…
Ya’ll know, Jim M. brings up a great point. I hadn’t realized that M.O. had not gotten her cush job until after hubby got his.
Kinda reminds me of another “meritorious” wife that got a cush job after her charismatic hubby won an election.
the day Bill C. was elected AG of Arkansas, Hillary was hired at Rose. When he was elected Governor, she made partner. Even she isn’t that good.
Since Obama comes from Chicago politics, it might just be close to the mark to say maybe she didn’t earn it.
Just speculatin’, here…..
This wasn’t a gaffe. It wa a true reflection of the liberal mindset that really despises America and everything it stands for – freedom, prosperity and real hope. If these people somehow make it to the white house, then shame on every American.
A gaffe? Uh, no. This is exactly the way “they” think: this country stinks and this country owes. Nothing more and nothing less…
Gaffe my pimply butt!
Michelle Obama is a lawyer, and words are the tools of their craft. The only people that are more precise in their language might be English majors. She is not some tongue-tied housewife.
So we come to one conclusion: either she is a lousy lawyer, or she said exactly what she meant.
I favor the latter. Maybe the truth really will set us free…..
uncanny resemblance to another Michelle we know and love.
Everybody makes gaffes now and then. However before this we have been informed we have a compassion deficit and that our souls are broken. Were those gaffes too? Sound like typical liberal dissing of America to me. Maybe she will be proud of the USA when a compassionate government can fix my broken soul.
C’mon, lgm. All you have to do is pick up the Newsweek in the facuty lounge and read the cover story.
Michelle Robinson was an affirmative action admission. The stats–and her teachers–say she wasn’t as bright as many who were denied admission to Princeton, despite superior test scores. But she did marry well.
It would be instructive, for them, if lgm, Rusty & Olympia et al would change their residence to Zimbabwe or Laos or something similar. Anyone who feels our country is not working to better itself, is really not part of this country. They are the problem which needs to be made “better.”
LGM I do question your patriotism because you want to loosely gamble away your liberties and hand them over to Muslim law. I assure you that you would not like Muslim law induced here. They have no women’s rights, homosexual rights, and not many rights at all. Some of us can see the danger looming and thats why we seem radical to you in our love for our nation. Another point is that the USA armed forces never invaded North Vietnam and it only helped an alley at the time which was South Vietnam. During that war The US helped the South in fighting off a a Northern Aggression. If the opposite happened and the South Vietnamese invaded North Vietnam and trying to overthrow its communist regime I don’t think Hanoi would have put up with it or the rest of the liberal world.
Well, TexT, she did have this by way of a response today (CNN) :
“As she introduced her husband John McCain, the likely Republican nominee, at a campaign event, Cindy McCain told the crowd I “am proud of my country. I don’t know about you, if you heard those words earlier — I am very proud of my country.”
If the Obamas provide a constant flow of such foot-in-mouthisms it will make McCain’s task easier.
I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.
Silly thread filled with enough demagoguery to fill Fenway (how ’bout those Sox aj?), but low and behold, all questions regarding soap box’s lack of intellectual horsepower are finally answered by his admission that he was once a glue sniffer.
Yes, its called the pinko rule : )
Its generally invoked by some twit burning a flag or spitting on a soldier.
Demagogue much Prime?
B.S.
If that was so, she would have said “I’m really proud of our campaign for the first time” instead of saying “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country”
She admits that before her husband embodied a movement (yeah, its a “movement” alright,) she had no pride in her country, and that’s pretty damn narcissistic. To interpret her words any other way, you’d have to be either stupid or high on drugs.
High on drugs… like Barry O.
Rhetorical questions are such a passive-aggressive way of delivering an editorial, dakine.
Please grow a pair.
Nice third place finish tonight. McCain finished behind Hillary Clinton AND Barack Obama in Wisconsin. Well done!
Regarding Wisconsin, McCain’s nomination is already a fait accompli. Nothing was going to be decided for the CONS at the ballot box in Wisconsin, so a low turn-out is no suprise.
Hillary and Obama, on the other hand, have been fighting it out tooth-and-nail for the RAT nomination, so a high turn-out makes sense, given the stakes.
That has nothing to do with the point of contention on this thread, however. Your position on Michelle Obama’s remarks was untennable anyway. I don’t blame you for changing the subject.
If you can’t see the truth about Michelle Obama’s remarks, you’re probably as high on cocaine as Barry O.
Oh, ouch. A troll insulted me.
Talk about your lack of intellectual horsepower, cpodug got the reference – Airplane.
Soap never sniffed glue or did drugs. I left that for hippie types like you who pretend to be intellectual. In your case, the dead brain cells work in your favor.
Great post BTW.
Try this then Prime: you are a demagogue. Check that. You are a dull demagogue. Active aggressive enough for ya brah?
box, you’re inability to make a remotely lucid and cogent point in any thread appearing on this site is unfailingly consistent. You do have that going for you, which is nice.
Oh, ouch. The same troll who insults me at every turn did it again. What is that, a dozen times in the last 4 months?
I missed the part where this thread is about insulting me and your ability to use a dictionary to TRY and make people think you have a bit of intelligence.
Now, go play with lgm under your bridge.
How ’bout this box. I posted a couple of substantive comments in this thread regarding my thoughts on this non-controversy (also pointing out that I disagree with Obama on most of his policy positions and that I am a McCain supporter). You, on the other hand, do your usual dance, which is to make some dopey and unoriginal comment that adds nothing to the discussion. I challenge you to actually make an original point on this issue. Silly “troll remarks” and lame attempts at humor don’t count.
How about this, Dakine.
Over on Drudge, Barry Obama is said to be trying to spin his wife’s comments. Apparently, he realizes how silly they are.
That means your analysis is in error. Yet you cannot seem to find anything of substance that Soap has said that is in error.
This makes you the, dare I say it, TROLL.
Run along, Troll-la-la…..
