Michelle Obama: America is ‘Just Downright Mean’
By Noel Sheppard | March 5, 2008 - 10:29 ET
As NewsBusters previously reported, the wife of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama isn't very proud of her country.
Two weeks after making her disdain for the nation clear during a campaign speech for her husband in Wisconsin, Michelle further debased America by saying that we're a country that is "just downright mean."
Given how media made excuses for her comments in Wisconsin, it will be quite interesting to see just how much of her interview in the March 10th edition of The New Yorker will be reported in the next 24 hours (emphasis added throughout, h/t JWF):
Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I'm young. Forty-four!"
We just don’t need an America-hating, socialist woman of any color for first lady. Black has nothing to do with it. Check out Gloria Steinem’s latest hate-America remarks. Most lib women regardless of skin color echo the sentiments of Michell Obama. They live wealthy, pampered, privileged lives, and they hate America for it.
