Only your divisiveness, upset, anger and disappointment will save the world:
“We have one candidate who essentially is telling us every day that the world as it is just fine. That what we’ve been doing for the last eight years is fine,†Obama said. “Stay the course. Don’t make too many changes.
“And then we have this other candidate  Barack Obama  who is saying every day that the world as it is not right. It’s not good enough,†she said. …
“I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed. I wish we did,†Obama said. “Because if we had time for that, then things wouldn’t be so bad right now. Instead, we’re in a place where another four or eight years of the world as it is will devastate the life of some child.â€Â
Ed Morrissey has lots of good stuff to say about Michelle’s latest diatribe, but I’d like to ask the question, again, how is it that Baracky thinks someone who stumps for him by making such sweeping statements about the condition of the world and attributes to him the ability to change it to the benefit of the very last child ought to be exempt, somehow, from criticism?  She offers nothing but the leftist cant that one can jabber the world into conformity with one’s idealistic vision via the pipe dream of material discourse.
Barack Obama is Hamblet: “The time is out of joint! Oh, cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right.”
UPDATE: La Malkin has a different news story with some additional humorous context:
Michelle Obama mixed a story about how her husband, the Democratic presidential candidate asked her out, with a solemn assessment of U.S. economic and social conditions during a visit to the Denver area Wednesday.
Obama spoke before a crowd of about 150 that paid from $1,000 to $10,000 apiece at a private fundraising dinner at a downtown Denver hotel. She earlier spoke briefly to volunteers for the Democratic National Convention after landing at Centennial Airport in the south-Denver suburb of Englewood…
Geez, $1k to $10k a plate, huh? Imagine what that might be worth to a starving child somewhere. Meh, what am I saying? You can hardly buy a decent pair of earrings with $600 these days.

Does it strike anyone else as kinda creepy for a politician (or a politician’s wife) to promote the idea that there’s no room for disagreement?
since she has started shooting off her mouth again, are we permitted to question what she said? you know, these two are like a traveling medicine show, selling us the magic elixir.
I am that child.
Save me, Barack.
No, you may not question, the wife of the messiah has absolute moral authority.
Does that last, least child get any fruit?
She is basically articulating for us, in clear detail, the mind of the average Obama voter. Thank you Michelle.
I’ve never heard the message of hope expressed quite like that.
Vote for Obama or a Child Will Die.
Speaking only for myself, I’ve found that I’m very susceptible to falling into conformity, given enough jabbering. Especially when said jabbering is about taking out the trash, or mowing the lawn.
Creepy ain’t the word. “Nausea” comes to my mind.
These two are probably going to be in the White House come next January.
I don’t see any other outcome, with the lips of the press firmly attached to Obama’s johnson. And, unbelievably, McQuackQuack refuses to challenge the absolute bullshit that is spewed about Obama by the Dems and the drive-bys. I used to wonder how people could be fooled into voting against their own freedom, but have come to realize that I am getting a first class education in just exactly how that happens. An endless cascade of of baloney can’t help but wind up as baloney sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Just as the MSM has made real the lies about Bush, they are determined to put this scuzzy little Marxist airhead in the Oval office, and their constant drumbeat of “the Messiah” is hard to resist, even when one knows better. It’s amazing how insistent people are about Bush’s “stupidity”, when Bush can’t hold a candle to Obama.
Oh. And thanks, McQuackQuack for the McQuackQuack-Feingold act. Your dick now officially reaches your ass.
JOHN MCDOLE FOR PRESIDENT!
Ever worked one of those puzzles where you slid the little tiles around inse teh frame in order to arrange the numbers in the correct order or put together a picture?
What the liberals in general and teh Obamas in particular, don’t get is that ever time you slide a row over it changes the relationship of all the tiles. 8 may now be next to 7 but where 4 was next to 5 it’s now on the other side of 2.
They find one unhappy person and adjust everything to accomodate her. Now there are 10 unhappy people!
And even when you finish one of those puzzles, there’s still one piece missing!
She is talking about duty. This is the language of jihad really.
Sure RTO, but who are you to criticize the plan? The plan was pored over by experts who spared no expense in either it’s formulation or execution. It would have gone perfectly too if it wasn’t for those dissenters grabbing pathetically at their selfish greedy free will. Stupid pathetic proles. They deserve everything they get for messing up the plan.
Times are hard, Dan. In good times they could have gotten $20,000 per plate. Everyone is scaling back.
Seems like she is just hinting at the plot for the new Saw V. You have the choice to vote for Obama or a child dies. Hard choice really it would take alot of time for me to make.
Actually, EG, I don’t think Michelle cares very much about plans and such. Her job is to feeeeel the suffering – bitterness – despair – hurt – outrage – longing and give it a voice of !hope! and !change!. Things not so good? Barack will fix it all.
It’s the same old “Policy Formulation by Anecdotal Misery” that rears it’s caring head and drives every Democratic Presidential campaign in memory. They feeel it and they’ll fix it, you just wait and see.
Of course, it never gets “fixed” at least not in the way expected by the lemmings who vote on the “what are you going to do for me” basis. A few actually take the time to consider and complain about the shiney promise Prius that turned into a dented, same old Edsel. No matter. The vast swath of the citizens of Entitlement Plantation are mesmerized by the shiney caring. For them the promise is enough without the payoff.
Sort of like a bluefish and a spoon lure.
Michelle is merely
raisinglowering the bar seeking the lowest common denominator of misery pimpage.I see this as a new kind of dinner theatre in blue-state America. You go to a very expensive restaurant where someone talks over a slide show of starving people.
So you can feel good about your awareness.
I am just short of useless this morning.
Fer de chirren yo dumb honk mafahs!
“I wish we had time to be divided. I wish we had time to be upset. To be angry. To be disappointed.

I have never been so hopeful for our country as I am at this moment.
Deontologize the Escaton.
Yes. Typical leftist cant. Promise everything to everybody and say how BAD it all is under the rethuglican. The prog dopes, who are as miserable as Michelle lap it up, heartily. How can any alleged conservative/classical liberal be dense enough to fall for this stuff? Rhetorical as I know the answer (something to do with a derangement syndrome), but I am just amazed by it all. Mr. Pink at #15, well done.
Obama is out to save the world (with our tax dollars)-our country is too limiting for his untold powers. His work cannot be deferred or slowed.
He is co-sponsor of the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs.
From his web site:
The Global Poverty Act:
Declares it official U.S. policy to promote the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of cutting extreme global poverty in half by 2015.
Requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to carry out that policy.
Includes guidelines for what the strategy should include – from aid, trade, and debt relief, to working with the international community, businesses and NGOs, to ensuring environmental sustainability.
Requires that the President’s strategy include specific and measurable goals, efforts to be undertaken, benchmarks, and timetables.
Requires the President to report back to Congress on progress made in the implementation of the global poverty strategy.
Now, get in line, open your wallet and shut-up! Can’t you see that The One has work to do?
each and every note another octave
dissent is crushed and
heads are broken

This is like the Monty Python sketch about “How to Bring About World Peace, Cure Cancer, Deliver pure energy isn’t
it” God all mighty, are we screwed.

Between this stuff and Black Liberation Theology, it seems that all the Obamas are selling is guilt, white and otherwise.
Did you see the Shelby Steele article on Jesse and Barack, Juliette? I just posted on that.
Did you see the Shelby Steele article on Jesse and Barack, Juliette? I just posted on that.
It’s definitely all based on an emotional appeal. But it’s transcendence more than guilt I think that he’s selling. Baracky wants people to embrace a brave new tableau of solutions to problems they aren’t really aware of having. This is why he never talks about deficits.
Dan, Yep. Shelby’s been talking about O. for a while.
And more than any other observer, Steele has O nailed dead to rights, baldi. But that’s the burden Steele gets for being able to think with cohesive clarity.
Shelby is my “father.”
I think he’s a great man, baldi, in a world with too few such.
