Mrs. Smarter-than-thou gets passive-aggressive with Sarah
Mrs. Smarter-than-thou goes there. Mmm-hmm. Oh, yes, she did. Mark Finkelstein at Newsbusters writes:
Check out this [emphasis added] excerpt from an LA Weekly report on Michelle Obama’s appearance at a private fundraiser last Wednesday in the ritzy LA neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Mrs. Obama was addressing a crowd that reporter Patrick Range McDonald described “heavily entertainment-industry.”
Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband’s vice-presidential choice. “I think it was a really good pick—Senator Joe Biden,” she said, and later added, “People say they have amazing chemistry, and it’s true.”Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.
I’m laughing for an entirely different reason. Keep showing us your elitist roots, Mrs. O.
It’s working wonders.

Cat Fight. My bet is on Palin.
Well, after all, great minds think alike.
And fools seldom differ.
Fixed it.
Mrs Obama, they’re not laughing with you; they’re laughing at you.
Really? Apparently, Obummer and his supporters continue to understimate the BS meter of the American people. Many us of keep on hearing the mantra of “change” but that theme hasn’t been fully explained and when it is, it’s done in sound bites meant to show that they’re untainted by corruption or the usual politics.
The only problem is that Obummer and his bitter half are certainly scared of Hillary. She came with 18 million votes and what a way to show you care about “smart people” by going for the Washington insider who is holding on to the last tendrils of his hair and hasn’t done anything but prove how much a typical politician he is.
I see smart people!
This is almost as amazingly stoopid as the One’s decision to try and call out Gov Palin on earmarks. I mean ….the king of Earmarks himself actually went there.
The tracking polls I have been following state the biggest shift in voting trends is white women to McCain/Palin.
Part of this is not so much a vote “for” McCain as it is a vote AGAINST Obama and the elitism/sexism that controls the Democratic party establishment… my gut reaction.
Mrs. Obama’s snark is exactly what is driving moderates — uh, sorry, low info voters to McCain/Palin
self-edit: many us= many of us Oops!
Perhaps her husband needs to release his college and law school transcripts now. Seems like an appropriate time.
Yeah…
/looks at Ms. Obama…
People who think they are intelligent are really annoying to those of us who actualy are…
You know, intelligence has nothing to do with education…
Has anyone taken the time to read this woman’s thesis from Princeton?
I did, and it barely passes high school level grammar.
Oh, and yes, she was just as angry then as she is now.
the hollywood elite, are stupid enough to believe Mrs. O. And, I guess she is out doing the fund raising that Mr. O can’t cause he is going to have to campaign. i somehow think he was so full of himself, that he thought he wouldn’t need to campaign against McCain and could spend time raising money. Betcha he now wishes he would have kept at least one of his primary campaign promises. Unlike any of the other campaigns he has had, this one he has to actually fight hard for cause this one is not going to be handed over without a fight!
Obama is the most undeserving man running for president in my 64 years…and the most dangerous.
“Not afraid of smart people.”
Hmm…that’s a plus, right? Not really. It’s just get you into trouble.
Exibit #1: Bill O’Reilly’s interview with Obama.
But wait! Did Michelle just now admit that Barack isn’t really that smart and that he was just an average college law student while he attended Harvard Law school? And nothing exceptional about his grades to boot (of which Barack refuses to let his transcripts be made public)?
Usually dimbulds aren’t afraid of anything because they’re to stupid to know better.
Message to M.O. if you think you can fly, start from the ground.
Now she’s hating on people with a 4 year degree in journalism? I thought she loved the liberal media?
Come Nov we’ll see who has the last soft chuckle there missy.
You know that line in Palin’s nomination speech about Scranton, PA and San Francisco? Strike “San Francisco” and fill in Los Angeles. Not only does it make Palin looker smarter than Michelle, it makes her look downright psychic, like she knows the Obamas better than they know themselves!
Don’t be too shocked if Michelle ends up blurting out that line from her stump speech (before she was muzzled) about how you can’t run the country if you can’t run your house. In the words of Little Richard, “She can’t help it, the girl can’t help it!”
If bho wifeee had not had a dislike for hc, this probably would been a win for bho. But the gal thing, can’t have too many queen bee’s in the hive, only one will be on top. I say, keep the wife out talking, better for us.
L
Come on MO, keep it up. Open your yap for the whole country to see what a arragant fool you are.
Sounds like every industry party I’ve ever been to.
And people wonder why Hollywood conservatives choose to meet in secret.
Doin the back peddle mumbo jumbo… lmao
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!

Michelle, the link is broken. It links to “tp://…” instead of “http://…”
All I can do is smile…. her highness of smarmy is going to look like dung…. Mrs Palin… just stand tall and don’t play Mrs OBee the low road.
The Hebrew word Sarah indicates a woman of high rank, and is sometimes translated as “princess” or goddess, or “high holy one”.

The Buraq is a mythical creature from Islamic tradition. It was said to have been a creature from the heavens, which in the 7th century, carried the prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and back during the Isra and Miraj (Night Journey), which is the title of one of the chapters of the Qur’an.
I believe her degree was in Sociology.
Tell us how you really feel, Mrs. Obama! If you had any courage, you’d just come right out and call Sarah dumb.
But she, and the rest of the Dimocrats, are scared spitless of Sarah Palin.

Can I say “Black Hole” here?
I challenge you to “Fight these smears“, Barack Obama.
Or, are those “smears” really TRUTHS?
The funny part is that Biden doesn’t associate with smart people…
Buraq in Iraq?
No, people should have chuckled at the statement that Biden (the guy whose butt Kucinich kicked in the primaries) is intelligent.
They really have to keep her under wraps: she can’t help herself.
L.N.,
as someone who lives in PA, I flew off the sofa when Sarah mentioned that.
obambi came to PA intact and we sent him off reeling and has yet to recover.
Those words are on the lips of PA folks
every day, can’t speak for other states but wouldn’t surpise me if that is the case all across America and will be in
millions of voting booths come nov.
take THAT dem slacks and media hacks!
“Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.”
That can be taken a number of ways, as can the chuckling.
As for this guy, he looks a long, long way from smart.
What, no arugula salad?

OK, so how smart is Biden?

come to PA you can honk anytime you want
and people will smile and wave
note: I don’t live in Philly…
Blame,
as obambi won’t release his records that may very be smart to him!!
all in context
crap toss a well in there
A loud-mouth, trash-talking pig in lipstick (and “a silk radzimir kimono dress from Thakoon”) is still a loud-mouth, trash-talking pig.
What if find funny is that there are now only 2 people that think Biden is smart. Michelle O. and Biden himself.
Top half…bottom 20th percentile…whatev…c’mon…now you’re just splitting hairplugs.
And McCain’s choice shows he isn’t afraid Of Americans.
What smart man plagarizes speech after speech, and can’t control his lowbrow, gutter-trash remarks?
Hey, she could have pulled a Streisand and come right out and called any woman who votes for Palin “Stupid”…..which is what Streisand did in her latest missive.
Fixed it.
You know there’s gonna be a Mi-O and Palin “yo mama is so fat” trash-talk smackdown in one of those seemingly endless spoof movies (Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, etc.).
Anyone think DOMA will come up in the debates?
Note to MichelleO – Biden doesn’t test well either.
This is ridiculous. After all the crap that gets tossed at Obama (have you all heard all the names Rush Limbaugh calls him) everyone is up in arms about a little comment about Palin! And for the person that doesn’t think Obama’s grades are up to par: you don’t get to be President of the Harvard Law Review unless your grades are top notch. Sheesh.
For someone to be smart, it seems they need to be right most of the time. Biden’s record does not give him this distinction.
That’s a relief in a way; for a moment I thought I was the only one who couldn’t open it.
I dunno, reading a swipe at Sarah Palin into Mrs. Hopenchange’s comment may be a stretch. It reads to me like she’s saying that Hopenchange isn’t afraid of “Slow Joe” Biden because he’s “smart.” Anything past that seems conjectural, absent more context (which is why the link becomes important).
In any event, though, why in the first place should someone with a Harvard J.D. be “afraid” of “smart people?” The premise makes no sense … unless the degree is meaningless because it was obtained by means other than honest skull-sweat (i.e., “Diversity”).
Hey, if Mrs. Hopenchange can “go there,” then so can I.
I hate to break it to Biden, but some of the smartest (and richest) people in America were college dropouts…
Steve Jobs — Apple Computer
Bill Gates — Microsoft
Larry Ellison – Oracle Corp.
Well, Joe, what have you done lately? Oh, that’s right, you’ve lived off the government dole for the past 40 years!
So, is she trying to say that Barack is not afraid of conservatives?
Not only did she diss our gal Palin, she also dissed Hillary!
Her husband refused to pick her.
No she didn’t!
Barack and Joe, great chemistry? What is this, the dating game? Ok, enough with that picture, on to the funnies, Biden, smarter than a whip that boy is. How come he’s been in the senate since, forever, and has been repeatedly passed over for the leadership role? I mean not once was he even considered. At least he was smart enough to avoid having to join Kerry as he was ravaging the countryside over in Vietnam.
Oh, really? Obama was the first black president of the HLR. Here’s what it says over at wikipedia regarding the selection process (emphasis is mine):
“Two editors from each of first-year class’s seven sections (fourteen in all) are selected half by their first year grades and half by their scores on the writing competition. Another twenty are selected solely on their scores on the writing competition. The other seven to nine are selected by a discretionary committee, either to fulfill the review’s race-based affirmative action program, to select students who just missed the cut by either of the other two processes, or by some other criteria as the committee sees fit.”
With one statement she managed to slam on both Palin and HRC. Is she making a comment on what she really thinks about HRC? She wasn’t even vetted because she wasn’t smart enough…hmmm.
You just gotta love the way the Obama’s hang with just your average, everyday folks.
You know, like in Holmby Hills! How tony!
These people are just so out of touch with Mainstreet America.
The way MO sees it, this kind of pandering to Big-Entertainment (or is it Big-Hollywood, or even Big-Guilt-ridden-$20 million-a-picture-actors?) is just a necessary step in raking in the big bucks. But BHO would never dream of accepting the “special-interest” money.
And, btw, when did tax-paying businesses/industries give up their right to representation in DC? Or was it outlawed? Just wondering…
…and the electorate cares so much about who is and isn’t on the Harvard Law Review.
…and did community organizing precede his stint at Harvard?
Picking up where John Kerry left off, are they?
Since these elite Democrats think only the uneducated join the US military, and Obama declined to visit our wounded soldiers in Germany, should we therefore interpret this to mean he is afraid of our soldiers?
Add to this the fact that he considered joining the Army gaff. It wasn’t that we weren’t fighting a war at the time (if you believe this pathological liar), it was that HE was TOO SMART and knew that he wouldn’t fit in, right?

imjustsaying… it doesn’t take much…. he never printed or wrote anything…. did you go to college and did you know those who became editors and such of publications? they were nimrods at best.
Please provide examples of all the “crap” that’s thrown at Obama. The only ones that come to mind are the birth-certificate nonsense and his “muslim” religion. Other than those, the vast majority of “crap” that gets thrown at him is brought on by his own stupid comments.
And Rush calls him the Messiah, and maybe a dummy every now and again, which, based on FauxBama’s statements and issue stances is completely justified. But that’s about it.
Uneducated huh? Well, in our company we have a newly returned Iraq vet who’s a software developer (National Guard). We have an engineering services manager (former Navy intelligence officer) and another engineering manager who is a former Marine.
ALL have at minimum 4-year college degrees. Yeah, I guess they’re dumb according to Odumbo himself.
Yes, and some of them are quite funny.
Actually, no one on this thread is “up in arms” except you. We’re all having a little fun with it.
Like I said, I wish she had the guts to just come out and say Sarah Palin is stupid.
According to wiki, he could have been an affirmative action appointment to the position.
But apparently he is afraid of townhall style debates where he might be asked a question for which he has not rehearsed.
Afraid you might be outsmarted by an average Joe American, Barack?
Is she talking about this guy?

People keep calling the Obama’s elitists. They’re not. They’re wannabe elitists. They’re people who’ve lived their lives wanting to be the elite, so they’ve managed to mimic them until now. They’re the worst kind of “elitist” because unlike the Paris Hilton’s of the world, these people strive to be obtuse.
Oh yeah, great chemistry, they’ve already started a friendly competition, they’re challenging each other to see which can plagiarize speeches better.
Looks like Mrs O should be careful who she lets hang with Mr O, ole greasy Joe the plantation foreman is a bad influence on the junior Senator.

I can just imagine the chit-chat that went on between Mrs. Obama and the illegal alien maids.
Can Michelle even identify a smart person? I mean, how would she know?
and he got a muslim guy to pull strings to get him into HAHvahd.
yet another thing dem slacks and media hacks really don’t want to get into!

So it is basically one woman who THINKS she is strong because of who and what she is (black)…and she aint gonna take it no more…versus….a smart beauteous woman who has not only talked the talk, but she is also walking the walk. Jealous much?
It is a fact…and I say this as a woman…women can be b*tches.
apologies if your speaking of M.O.
my bad.
Why the hostility? I was talking about the lovely Michelle O, not our host.

How do you know this? At the law school I went to, getting onto law review was a two-step competitive process: It began with a cite-checking exercise, followed by submission of a legal research and writing assignment for peer review.
Harvard’s is similar, for the most part:
However, there’s a “back door” for certain applicants who, uh, don’t meet the “ordinary” criteria:
[emphasis added]
If he’s supposedly so brilliant, Hopenchange would have no problem making his Harvard transcripts available; not only would it squelch speculation that something other than his grades or his research/writing ability made him law review president, to do so would also be a general point in his favor.
But he won’t.
A plausible explanation for the natural question, “Why not?” is that Hopenchange well knows what can happen when inconvenient records get dredged up. He was the direct beneficiary, for example, when two of his electoral opponents’ sealed court records somehow became unsealed.
Having seen his opponents destroyed by timely revelations from their past, it stands to reason that he wants to avoid the same thing happening to him.
Ergo….
- Columbia transcripts: “classified.”
- Harvard transcripts: “classified.”
- How he got onto Harvard Law Review in the first place, not to mention becoming president of it: “classified.”
For being such a smart guy, he sure goes to great lengths to conceal the evidence of it.
And, Mrs. Hopenchange’s assertion notwithstanding, picking “Slow Joe” Biden doesn’t prove that you’re “not afraid of smart people.” A more persuasive case can be made that the opposite is true.

Obama isn’t afraid of smart people at all… it’s the 60 some-odd million with common sense that he has a problem with.
Smart don’t necessarily equal good, now does it.

Affirmative Action gave us Ward (I’m a real Indian) Churchill, too Sheesh!
O/T, but I’m also disgusted with Oprah’s dodging and weaving about having Sarah Palin on her show. Per Queen Bee Oprah, she “doesn’t want her show to become a political platform” (huh?? what about her endorsement of BHO?), and she’ll be GLAD to have Sarah Palin on her show AFTER the election is over. I sincerely hope she gets the same kind of reaction from her viewers as Us weekly did from it subscribers.
Apparently the Golden Calf is irritated with the prospect of losing:
Yup. Obamessiah is more peeved about having to put up with hotel (arugula-less?) food and airplanes for losing… note the afterthought about “American people can’t afford for us to come in second”.
It’s all about ME, ME, ME, says the Golden Calf.
