Michelle Obama – the new Elmer Gantry

Posted By Roger L Simon On August 21, 2007 @ 8:32 am In Presidential Election 2008 | 16 Comments

Mrs. Obama is apparently out on the hustings giving forth with a fair amount of political bombast [1] like “I don’t want my girls to live in a country based on fear.”

What?

I haven’t noticed that I’m living in a country based on fear. Too much trafffic maybe, but fear?

Then there’s this: At another stop, in Atlantic, Michelle said she travels with her husband in part “to model what it means to have family values,” adding “if you can’t run your own house, you can’t run the White House.” She didn’t elaborate, but it could be interpreted as a swipe at the Clintons.

Oh, get over yourself, Mrs. Obama. [People who brag about their families in public are usually the ones who end up in divorce court two years later.-ed. Word.]

More of this kind of wising-off and the Democrats can kiss the Clinton-Obama ticket goodbye.
