Sure, she has been quite outspoken. For example, after her husband was nominated by the Democrat party in 2008, she said, “For the first time in my adult lifetime – and not just because Barack has done well, I’m really proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” BTW, Barack Obama had this “clarification“: “What she meant was, this is the first time that she’s been proud of the politics of America. She has seen large numbers of people get involved in the process, and she’s encouraged.”
Michelle Obama has not been the most popular First Lady in history, perhaps because of her vacation habits at taxpayer expense (Spain, Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard), preaching about food (McDonald’s, chain restaurant menus and fast food), and being quite vocal with her society comments (America is ‘just downright mean’).
On Thursday, October 27, 2011, she was dispatched to Davis Island, near Tampa, Florida to mingle with people her husband most demonizes – the “rich.” At a quite large mansion on Tampa Bay, filled with the very wealthy, Michelle Obama attacked “them” – the Republicans. During her “speech” at a fund-raiser, she was in full “attack mode.” Here are a few of her comments:
So Michelle Obama will travel the country this election season to tell Americans just how bad it is. Unlike Ronald Reagan, who saw morning in America, Michelle Obama will tell all who will listen that Republicans want to poison the air and water, stifle free speech, oppress the religious. She will offer not an uplifting vision of what her husband’s America could be, but only a view of what Republicans’ America would be.
Traditionally, vice-presidential candidates have been the attack dogs in presidential campaigns. But, by using Michelle Obama this way, the Obama administration has struck an unprecedented low in partisanship and divisiveness.
But that’s just my opinion.
