From WND --
Asked how she feels about Bill Clinton's use of the phrase "fairytale" to describe her husband's characterization of his position on the Iraq war, she first responded: "No."
But, after a few seconds of contemplation, and gesturing with her fingernails, she told the reporter: "I want to rip his eyes out!"
Noticing an aide giving her a nervous look, she added: "Kidding! See, this is what gets me into trouble." More...
On the campaign trail with Michelle Obama a reporter noted the above remarks from Michelle Obama. I do not believe Michelle was kidding when she said this remark - I believe she was being very honest. But like any politicians wife, I believe she will say or do anything to get him elected.
I believe Michelle is a phony, has forgot where she came from and is an elitist - I find nothing wrong with her remark. She should feel this way towards Bill Clinton - he has attacked her husband. Only after getting "a look" did she say she was kidding. My feelings about Michelle are NOT because she is black... I know many white people, Republican & Democrat, that share if not all, many of these faults. I do not like them either!
The problem I have is that I believe this goes to her integrity. For that matter, I question any persons integrity that feels they must not speak how they truly feel.
The reporter noted several remarks made by Michelle that confirm my beliefs...
From The Observer --
Her smile is doled out sparingly, a privilege to be earned, rather than an icebreaker or an entreaty. Obama, who graduated from Princeton, earned a law degree from Harvard and became, first, a corporate lawyer and, more recently, the vice-president for community and external affairs at the University of Chicago Hospitals. She spent all but the first year of her childhood in a four-room bungalow on Chicago's South Side. Having traversed vast landscapes of race and class, often as a solo traveller, she evinces the discipline and, occasionally, the detachment of an army brat. She can seem aloof from politics. Her mother and her older brother both say that she has never once phoned them in tears.
She calls the Iowa State Fair's corn dogs and candied apples, obligingly gushed over by hopeful First Ladies every four years, 'stuff on a stick'.
It is known in the Obama campaign that Michelle will speak her mind when not watched closely. A never-ending supply of Rolaids is always close at hand, but it sounds like they would rather have a leash.
'Occasionally, it gives campaign people heartburn,' David Axelrod, the Obama campaign's chief strategist, admits. 'She's fundamentally honest - goes out there, speaks her mind, jokes. She doesn't parse her words or select them with an antenna for political correctness.'
He calls it political correctness - I call it exposing her "I am better than you & know more than you" attitude. Yet, they are not afraid to capitalize where they think she can help pull the wool over voters eyes.
The following is very disturbing and is why I do not think Clinton's SC remarks were racist. If this woman can so easily mock and look down at her family - do you think the American public that she already looks down on has a chance?
Obama opened with some reminiscing. 'My people are from South Carolina,' she said. 'I don't know if y'all knew that ... In fact, my grandparents retired back down here, and before their death they were living here, attending a Baptist church in Georgetown.'
Obama was playing to her audience - later she riffed on 'those relatives who have plastic on the furniture' and reminded the churchgoers to get '10 other triflin' people in your life' out of bed and down to the polls on Saturday. Her appearances at the church, and many like it, were a key point of strategy in a state that would be the first real test of whether or not Barack could attract significant numbers of black voters. 'In South Carolina in particular, because she had family from there, it made a lot of sense for her to speak in the African-American community,' David Axelrod said.
After warming up the crowd, Obama launched into her stump speech, a 45-minute monologue that she composed herself and delivers without notes. Obama has been open about the value of her ability to speak to black audiences in cadences that reflect their experience...
Why would a black woman think it is a value that she can speak to a black crowd in their language?
Sounds like Rev. Wright may have been right on the Obama's!
That is one scary woman. She looks like a nightmare First Lady. http://SlickBarry.com - Slick Barry Obama
