Michelle Obama spoke to a group of mothers in North Carolina. It seems that the Obama camp is trying to keep her out of the spotlight, and now it is apparent why they would do that. Michelle is more a liability than an asset to her husband’s campaign. Here’s what she had to say:
Obama, like her husband a Harvard-trained lawyer, listened and then spoke off the cuff.
Most Americans, she said, don’t want much.
“They don’t want the whole pie,” she told the women. “There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach.”
After law school, she and Barack were beset by loans they’d still be paying had her husband not written two best-sellers, “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams From My Father.”
Those debts early in their marriage, she said, equips her husband to better understand the problems many Americans face.
Should she become first lady, she said she’d focus on family issues.
“If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,” she said.
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.”
Why take from some and give to others? All the democrats are doing is ensuring that some people will never have the ability or drive to make their own pie which means that the ones who do make pies have to support them. Why not enable every person to make their own pie? THAT’S the American dream.

I’ve long thought that instead of moving primaries up, states should move them to June. We may or may not have two years of campaigning, as we’ll have for this election cycle which started Nov 2006, but there will still be plenty of time to vet the candidates and see who’s the best for each party. A couple months ago Obama wasn’t pictured without a halo; now he can’t utter a phrase, and neither can his wife, without sounding like arrogant elitists at best, complete a-holes at worst.
