Michelle Obama thanks me

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 23, 2008 05:16 PM

Just seeing if you’re awake.

Hee.

Actually, Michelle Obama really did thank me — in her mass e-mail, which has now been sent to me twice, urging the Obama cultists to watch her video promoting The One’s first presidential debate. Again, they break Rule Number One of politics: Manage expectations.

They can’t help the hype.

And, yes, Michelle, I watched your video. You need to relax, sweetie. And ditch that shirt. Ick.

The message:

michelle –

This Friday, we’ll reach another milestone in this campaign — the first debate of the general election, on September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Millions of Americans will tune in to watch Barack debate John McCain about America’s foreign policy and our role in the world.

Barack will share his plan to bring the change we need — to restore our place in the world, ensure security at home and abroad, and reestablish the United States as the world’s economic leader.

This is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the issues. And it’s also a great opportunity for you to share Barack’s message of change with your friends, family, and neighbors by attending a Debate Watch Party.

Watch the debate with friends and supporters, and talk about how you can get involved in this movement.

I recorded a brief message about these parties. Please take a moment to watch the video and sign up to attend a Debate Watch Party in your community.

Attend a debate watch party

Many Americans are still learning about Barack and this movement for change.

They don’t know about his plan to restore the middle class, cut taxes for 95 percent of American families, provide health care for every American, achieve energy independence, improve our schools, and responsibly end the war in Iraq.

Many people also don’t know that John McCain has voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time — including to continue Bush’s failed Iraq policies, not investigating the government response to Katrina, not supporting children’s health care, not supporting college benefits for returning veterans, and passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class.

This debate is a chance for Americans to hear directly from Barack. And with just a few weeks left before Election Day, it’s more important than ever that we bring people together and talk about the issues that matter in our communities.

I hope you’ll watch my short message and sign up to attend a Debate Watch Party:

Thank you for all that you’re doing,

Michelle

    Which failed policies would those be? The ones that have brought peace and security to the region? Or the ones that have helped the Iraqi people form their fledgling Democracy, a first chance for them to really control their own destinies?

    Michele Obama – you’ve lost the debate on the Iraq War. Get off it already.

Her dig the other day about people voting for “someone” (we all know who that is) because she’s pretty should have been grounds to have her clarify, but instead, the hubby comes to her rescue…again.

    Then they send out Michelle O. to blow some more of the Bush/McCain/90% smoke up everyone’s butts and make them tickle.
    If the American electorate did know where Barack really stands on the issues, the election would be over.

    The shirt is horrid.

    et (#101): Rachel Maddow. Shudder. Thanks for that.

    John McCain has voted with George Bush more than 90 percent of the time

    And Barack Obama voted the same as his Democratic peers even more. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

    including to continue Bush’s failed Iraq policies

    Denial ain’t no river in Egypt. Flashback a couple weeks ago — Obama to O’Reilly: “I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated. It’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” A successful failure?

    not investigating the government response to Katrina

    Eh, I don’t have much. I had to go all the way to page two of my Google search for this one. Take notice, snopes and factcheck.

    not supporting children’s health care

    Translation: Republicans would leave kids to die. (Hey, waitaminute.)

    not supporting college benefits for returning veterans

    Again, not Obama’s version of support. Again, page two from my search:

    ”I am running for the office of commander in chief. That is the highest privilege in this country, and it imposes the greatest responsibilities. And this is why I am committed to our bill, despite the support Senator Webb’s bill has received,” McCain, a Navy veteran and Vietnam prisoner of war, said at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial Monday. ”It would be easier, much easier politically for me to have joined Senator Webb in offering his legislation.”

    However, McCain said he opposed Webb’s measure because it would give the same benefit to everyone regardless of how many times he or she has enlisted. He said he feared that would depress reenlistments by those wanting to attend college after only a few years in uniform. McCain said the bill he favored would have increased scholarships based on length of service.

    Granted there were stories on page one that mention McCain’s reasoning. But with entries by the LAT and other MSM outlets with headlines that read “Obama Blasts McCain” instead of “McCain Defends Stance,” I tend to steer away from them.

    passing tax cuts for the rich at the expense of the middle class

    Translation: Tax the rich! Taxum! Taaaxuuum!

    Imagine our hostess getting together with a bunch of Obamites to watch the debates. Wait, we don’t have to imagine. Spit shield, ear plugs, cell phone, and riot gear are optional, but highly recommended.

    Yes, these parties should be a great chance to debate the issues with your ideological equals. Let’s bring people together.

    Since the multiple links will delay this comment, I’ll see ya’ll later.

    Don’t you love how the promises just flow during Michelle O’s little piece? And they so logically go together: “… To cut taxes for 95% of American families. To provide health care for every American…”

    I guess it’s just that simple. When Barry’s got your bucks in his pocket, he’ll spend it better than you.

    “Many Americans don’t know…”

    Nobody knows what Barack’s alleged “plans” are…all that confirms is that your campaign strategy is working perfectly. Now, unless Keith Olbermann is moderating the debate, prepare for the Obamperor to show off his new clothes on Friday.

    Are you stupid, or just a liberal? Maybe you were born last night and read some left wing blog that pointed out this little factoid about Bush?

    BTW, this is something that has been around for years. I remember them back in the 80s when I was at UT (not Tennesee, the real T). However, then it was only for political junkies.
