The Michelle Obama-patented subject-changer
In a pickle with your spouse over laundry you neglected to do or trash you forgot to take out?
Looking for an easy way to wriggle out of a tough spot with your boss?
Never fear. Michelle Obama is here with her new patented subject-changer:
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
Worked like a charm yesterday during her softball interview with NBC’s Meredith Viera:
MEREDITH VIEIRA: Michelle, do you feel that the Reverend Wright betrayed your husband?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I think Barack has spoken so clearly and eloquently about this.
MEREDITH VIEIRA: But do you personally feel that the Reverend Wright…
MICHELLE OBAMA: You know what I think Meredith? I think we gotta move forward. You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids. You know, it doesn’t help kids out there who are looking for us to make decisions and choices about how we’re going to better fund education.
I can see it now:
- Homeowners under water in heated discussions with their banks:
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
- Speeders arguing with traffic cops:
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
You know when Michelle really should have used that line? When she was sitting in church with her kids sometime over the last 20 years listening to Jeremiah Wright “conversing” about his standard litany of grievances against America.

Ed Morrissey has more on the Obamas’ Today Show appearance.
Tom Maguire gladly changes the subject…to Bill Ayers.
Whoa! These poll results from Indiana are not helping the Obamas’ kids.

i saw that. honestly, not answering the question was more of an answer than she could have articulated.
and actually this conversation does help the kids.
PS, why has no one asked Barack or Michelle what “middleclassness” is any why his former-Pastor-current-mentor and his current-church are against it?
yes, but what about everyone else’s kids?
Elitist!
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone so self-absorbed as this woman…
That’s not new. Anyone remember Bill Clinton in a debate saying some thing like:
“No political attack…{bites lip} ever fed a hungry child.“
This would be laughable if I didn’t find it so dispicable.
Because if we keep talking about it, daddy won’t be president.
No. But sitting in a pew listening to this ranting madman spew racism, hate and wacky conspiracy theories….how good was that for your kids?
Can you imagine 4 or 8 years of that?
OH I know, I know… “If she can’t take the heat… (all together now) STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!!!
~300,000,000 American citizens, but only 2 who really matter to Michelle Obama?
Yeah, you remember her kids? The ones she referred to when she was talking about how tough it was to make 10,000 dollar expenditures on them for something totally stupid, I don’t recall what specifically.
barbie dolls coming home to roost
skg
Keep talking honey! Keep talking! The more we see of this America hating shrew the more it will drive away the super delegates to the camp of “she who must not be named.” Sadly the wife and I have found we are almost rooting for her to win the nomination. We can’t believe it either, what an election year this has turned into.
Actually it will help her kids if it keeps their daddy out of the white house.
Did sitting in that chuch,listening to all that hate help your kids.Pitiful.
Michelle Obama said:
But subjecting your kids to 10 years of Jeremiah Wright’s racist sermons did?
Very poor judgment, Ms. Obama. And not my kind of America, that’s for sure.
What does that even mean?
Are all politicians (or their spouses) implanted with a chip that prevents them from answering a question directly, honestly, and openly?
Yeah, I’ll try that and let you know how my new-found freetime is working out…
I would guess mo handlers told her to answer any question with the ‘kids’ thing. Better than a cackle hc does when she is asked a question she doesn’t want to answer. Actually mo and jw are a hoot cratering bho. Just let them talk how they both feel.
L
You know, as I was reading this post, my boss walked in and asked why I wasn’t focusing on my work (to put it very mildly). I told him that “this discussion wasn’t helping my kids”.
He stopped talking, turned around and left my office.
I think this really works!
I dont think Mrs Obama would know something good for kids, hers or mine, if it walked up with a marching band, dressed in a clown suit with flashing neon lights, and smacked her in the face with a cricket bat.
But just remember…now she’s at least proud of America! /sarc off
From Michelle Obama’s Wikipedia entry:
“Do The Wright Thing!”
Only in Chicago kids, only in Chicago.
The new title of killer of campaigns goes to Michelle Obama… Move over Theresa Heinz Kerry
In other words MEREDITH, IF YOU DARE TO ASK ME AGAIN I’M GOING TO BURST INTO FLAMES!!!!!!!!
Now why don’t we discuss how evil all evil republicans are, since of course WE ALL know the real evil is that which the evil republicans foist upon US.
See you in church Mrs Obama….
I would leave a clever comment but frankly I don’t see how this conversation helps my kids.
“Wright church, Wrong Peew!”
Well, by all means, a candidate’s wife who is taking interviews shouldn’t discuss any relevant political issues facing her husband if she doesn’t deem it “helpful to her kids.”
And never mind Barack’s political race, how does Michelle Obama the mother and church-goer feel after learning for the first time in 20 years of acquaintance that Wright is a racist?
Boy is this woman dragging down Obama’s chances or what? Of course this doesn’t help the kids, especially your kids who were forced to listen to this racist windbag every Sunday! Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it!
Michelle (Malkin I mean):
This blog is not helping my kids!
I read and send links of these Obama threads to my kids. It sure does help! There are at least 5 votes he will not get!
On the flip side. The RNC is having a hard time raising money. Our conservations are not helping them out. They would have to be listening!
I had an employee evaluation today..well, I WAS going to have one but I told my boss that it didn’t help children out there who need an education. He agreed so we called it off.
If she’s First Lady material then I’m King Tut.
I pray she’s not talking about religious education!
That and more. I would rather we not find out.
Bingo.
All hail PRINCE AJ
Superdelegate Sponge Bob Square Pants could not be squeezed for comment
All I can hear in my head is “How’d you get so funky…” (Don’t know what that mens? Here ‘ya go.)
Lemme see here, she can bad-mouth President Bush, the USA, John McCain, and we bitter, Christian gun-owners all she pleases.
But when someone starts pointing out her and Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s faults she starts hiding behind her children.
And they think they should lead the country?
Can the common non-sequitur really be patented?
Ha! eq, that brings back some memories…
Ya know, she is starting to make me like Hillary…
That can’t be Wright, I sent a donation to the North Carolina GOP.
Oh,… you meant the Senator McCain wing, …. dosen’t he have his own donor list?
Surprised that someone so obviously young and naive as EQ would remember that – not surprised about you, though, aj.
My excuse is that I’m an old
fartgeezer.Way the lay the gums into her Meredith!
It doesn’t help her children, eh?
Slam dunk, Michelle… spot on!
Mrs. Obama is using her children to shield her husbands’ damaged reputation now? Nice. What a sterling example of motherhood.
Somebody in the Obama camp should tell that woman to sit down, reign it in, and STFU.
Mrs. Obama:
You sat in church listening to rabid, racist hate preaching for 20 years, Madame… 20 years! And you’ve exposed your children to that same vile, racist hatred for ten years.
You’ve poisoned the minds of your own progeny and used them as props in the game of politics… and we’re suppose to believe now that you’re a dedicated Christian mother who has the best interest of her children in mind?Puhleeze.
You and your husband are absolutely without excuse, Madame.
Stop using your children as props… your husband is running for the office of POTUS, he should be capable of defending his politics without having to hide behind his children.
Yeesh, I cringe when I think of this woman serving as our First Lady… cringe, I tell you.
Just like I want my children to see my pastor acting out Bill Clinton “riding dirty”

Between “You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.” and “Why can’t I just eat my waffle”, they’ve just got an answer for every uncomfortable question they don’t want to answer.
Ha! I love that. My parents had that song on a 45 in our juke box. I have to admit english queen, I think we’re the same age and I’m surprised you know it. Go figure.
lgm, why are you such an idiot?
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
I couldn’t resist!
The more she speaks, the more apparent it is that she’s very selfish and elitist.
The thing is she doesn’t even realize it.
I have a feeling if she gets into the White House, she will implicitly declare herself Queen (ala Leona Helmsley) and there is going to be a huge turn over in staff. Many will be let go, and the rest will flee.
Mr. & Mrs. Slick, greasier than Slick Willie.

Change, indeed… looks like the same old politi-crap to me.
A response worthy of a “true” First Lady. Such a common touch this woman has…
Just like with the S-CHIP program, Democrats hide behind their children.
Note to Ms. Obama: Your husband is running for “President of the United States,” not King of the Obama Household.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about your kids.
You husband wants to take money out of my pocket and give it to someone else.
What about my kids?
If you can’t stand the heat, go back to your million-dollar mansion and work as a “community diversity coordinator” and try to scrape by on a mere $350,000 a year, not counting book royalties.
Just what this country does NOT need: Another two lawyers (nee “liars”) in the White House!
It’s incredible the attitude these two exude – as though they are doing us a favor!
I think this should become our standard response to the all comments by lgm.
Yeah, but what happens if her husband is elected president, will she be into policy making AKA Hillary was with Bill? Is America ready for another “strong” First Lady like this? Or a strong “First Gentleman” in as in Bill, for that matter?
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! “us”?? Did she say “looking for us”??? As in her and BO?? So she will be co-president?? Who does that sound like??
“You know, for the fist time in my life, I am proud that this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
My friend asked me why I wasn’t at wrestling practice last week. I said “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”. The excuse didn’t work since we were at a pizza joint.
I don’t have kids, so, you know, this conversation doesn’t help my dog.
You know, this conversation doesn’t help me eat my waffle.
Obama’s kid’s were out looking for their inflatable piggy and were unavailable for comment.
Every time I hear Michelle Obama speak, I hear the echo of Jeremiah Wright. While her hubby may have denounced Wright, she has refused to do the same. And that’s because she have drunk deeply from the well of black liberation theology. She believes as Wright does, that the US is “mean”, oppressive and is run by the rich white folk.
I got the distinct impression that she is actually angry at Barak for lashing out against Wright. She wants all to move on so she does not get into a situation where she has to honestly answer the Wright question. She takes exception to having to address these types of issues, since she so generously has agreed to share Barak with all of America. How dare we question her? In her mind, the issues BO faces are purely and simply the result of racism and not related to any legitimate concern over his character, integrity or credibility.
That is just too freakin funny!!!
We don’t have kids….hmmmm
‘You know, this conversation is not helping my mid-life crisis’
or
‘You know, this conversation is not helping my, um, diarrhea.’
You know, I don’t see how this conversation helps keep my waffle from tasting bitter. Maybe I’ll just grab my gun and go to church.
Yeah, those darn pesky questions are such “bitter” pills to swallow, aren’t they Michelle?
“You know, I have been cursed with children, and this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
There. MUCH better!
An ordinary black woman from Chicago’s South Side.
Meanwhile, just 5 hours ago, 3 men broke into a woman’s home here on the South Side of Chicago (Obama’s home turf), demanded money and shot her. Thanks to Obama and his gun grabbing, she was unable to legally arm herself. His family, however, spent the day traveling with a phalanx of armed guards. Perhaps she can watch televised versions of Michele’s lofty platitudes from her bed at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn.
Next question…”Have you help Obama and Michelle’s kids today?”
ROFLMBO
This just keeps getting better!
MO is the classic Affirmative Action beneficiary/pusher baby …
She is a wondrous paradigm of those second- and third-tier talent Mau-Mauers who have over the past few decades successfully manipulated corporate, academic and public entity flak-atchers into granting them unmerited first tier status by leveraging their loudly blandished race and gender features.
The ones who have perfected the system- exploitative Victimology art of, “I demand, therefore I deserve!”
The second tier ones are those like MO with sufficient adequacy to be aware of their inadequacy, and therefore resent the systems that by enforcing granted entrees also thereby confirm their patent insufficiency.
MO now bleats vindicated anger at the constant putdowns by “them” of her academic aspirations, yet one need only read her stupefyingly illiterate and incoherent Princeton senior thesis to suspect there may have been reason for such youthful counsel.
As an affirmative action hire into a top law firm, she again proves she may Mau-Mau entry into an otherwise inaccessible entity, but glaring legal inadequacy cannot support her retention through obligatory partnership status.
The ne plus ultra certification of her underlying unworthiness to first-table status, of course, is that she is ultimately successfully deposited as chief flak-catcher for Chicago’s most elite academic/medical provider institution … apparently in truthy recognition that the only talent she truly has, and has provenly honed, is that of being a numbah-one Mau-Mauer.
No wonder the Anger Baby is such an angry babe! Wouldn’t you be, if you were just smart enough to know, your whole life, that you were not smart enough?
Anyone that votes for the Obama co-presidency is out of their minds! I never thought that I would see the day that I would feel that H. Clinton was the lesser of two evils but thanks to these socialist/elitist Obamas, I do now!
Wow.. I wonder if we could apply that subject changer to the MSM and the Far Left?
The only way I’d ever want Michelle Obama in the White House would be with a badge that said “Visitor’s Pass.”
And did Viera take her stupid pills? Why-oh-why do these talking heads never ask the right questions (i.e. the ones we ask)?!
I think of Obama getting upset that Wright wasn’t showing him the concern he should. Or that, even though his grandmother loved him more than anything, he still had to throw her under the bus. I mean, between the two of them, the self-absorption and entitlement is palpable. It really is all about them. Their social programs to help others are about them too, to show what wonderful people they are. I’m getting angry and bitter about this. Somebody pass me a bible!
Good catch RedRepub. I hadn’t noticed that!! Sure enough, she is expecting to be Mrs. President.
Lord deliver us!!!!!!!!
Listening to it Sunday after Sunday was one thing, however, talking about it is just too much to bear it will leave a bad taste in your mouth. So let me get this straight they brought their kids to that Socioracist church of the eternally blamin whitey for the message but now that others are asking about the message it’s not helping her kids? Leftists, do they ever think about the things that come out of their mouths?
*giggling*
My husband and I just read this post together and we are just cracking up…
you really are a genius…
you have such a quick and sharp mind…
We LOVE your blog..
my husband has your blog downloaded
(or is it uploaded)
to his Amazon Kindle…
We love you, you’re great….
Thanks Soap!
But in all seriousness, I think we gotta move forward. You know, this conversation doesn’t help our dogs. You know, it doesn’t help dogs out there who are looking for us to make decisions and choices about how we’re going to better fund leg humping education.
Ask not what your Obama can do for you, ask what you can do for your Obama’s kids.
I just love how logical fallacies have been transformed into not only an acceptable, but an irrebutable artform by the MSM and the slick career politicians who’s boots they lick.
Hillary has the testicle lock box Michelle has the wood chipper and she used it just watch when they are together. I keep waiting for BHO to raise his hand for Michelle’s permission to ask a question.
No they don’t. They seem to utterly lack the ability of self-reflection. And if you quote what they’ve said in the past, that is unfair and downright evil to do. You can quote me on that.
Mrs. O, we want to make you a VP.
Honestly, I don’t see how this helps my kids.
It includes a huge salary increase.
GD$^% America, now that’s what I’m talkin’ about. (In her best Hillary Clinton imitation black person imitation.)
Sadly, I think Michelle Obama will become the new Al Sharpton when Barracks goes down in flames.
I’ve never liked her from the beginning and I can say that I still do not like her…..or him.
My daughter thought that conversation didn’t help her bunny.
Sorry, Ms. Malkin – reading your blog everyday doesn’t help my kids – Can I change the subject now ?
But taking your kids to THAT “church”, helped your kids, huh Mrs. Obama? And your husband would allow it to not help ANY kids, with his pro abortion stand.
Please take that woman away!
Affirmative Action is their pathway to opportuntty thar You paid for.
Gratitude Your Ass!, They Hate You and they are ENTITLED. You owe these racist, marxist race baiters a living now!
Get Used to It!

Perhaps this has already been answered, but does Michelle Obama’s association with Trinity Church go back further than Barak’s?
It seems everyone just assumes she and her hubby joined at the same time. But she is a native of Chicago, and has implied that she has been a life long Christian. If so, what church did she belong to before?
If she and her family were members of Trinity before Barak joined, she would have been exposed to “Wright’s Wrants” for the better part of her life. And such a long period of indoctrination would explain the fact that she literally drips with disdain when it comes to the US.
Anyone know?
Jim M, I was wondering the same thing myself. It seems to me everytime she opens her pie hole, I now think of Rev Wright.
I just can’t imagine the conceit, the arrogance, the melagomania that is required for her to say what she does.
To put it in a less-judgemental way, (the way the Obama’s like it – when it comes to them):
She’s more arrogant than I am.
If that doesn’t make you laugh or soil yourself in fear of the power she may yield, I don’t know what will.
It’s a terrorist tactic, use your children as human shields. She and Barack sure like to hang with terrorists of all nationalities, do they not?
Didn’t she understand that she was probably asked to appear on that show because of that particular controversy?
Funny you should say that, RedRepub…last night I saw Chris Rock at Madison Square Garden, and while he is completely in the tank for BO, he did say that no black woman would stay in the background, and indicated it would definitely be a two-fer. Other than the politics, he was hilarious most of the night, but the funniest thing he said was that BO was qualified.
There’s always truth in humor, but none of this is funny.
UN-FRICKIN BELIEVABLE.
NOW she starts to think about what her kids hear????
Michelle obama and bh obama….
They really are the most narcissistic, self-absorbed, selfish, self-centered arrogant, ungrateful, un-syncretic, irascible, pusillanimous, turgid, pompous asses in this country today!
(I would go on but they don’t deserve anymore ink or time.)
DFS, go get the kids out of that environment
AMEN MM AMEN.. If she really cared about her kids she would not have subjected them to hate speech.
