The more you hear Michelle Obama the more you realize what a piece of work she is. Our next potential first lady lives a life of astounding economic privilege. Besides her husband's senatorial salary, benefits package, and pension, she also garners a comfortable six figure income from her work as a "diversity consultant" for the University of Chicago hospital. A story in the current National Review reveals she received a $200,000 raise in 2005. Now if I, or any other normal person, received an annual raise of $200,000 we'd be singing hallelujah and dancing in the streets.
Not Michelle Obama, however. While her husband, until recently, has had some success portraying himself as being post-racial and beyond the politics of racial victimology, Michelle Obama is a hook, line, and sinker member of the leftist school of racial victimization.
Hearing Michelle Obama talk about existing economic difficulties, you would think that the overwhelming majority of Americans are pathetic victims of societal forces beyond their control that only the "benign" intervention of the federal government (preferably directed by Barack Obama) can ameliorate. I continue to be amused that both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, both the products and beneficiaries of astounding societal affluence, presume to think they can identify with my middle class economic aspirations or concerns. I am infuriated that these egocentric self-indulgent sociopaths think they know what are the best governmental policies for me to pursue to meet the social and economic interests of myself and my marriage.
Michelle Obama apparently was not listening in class when they discussed the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act which removed the only statutory barriers to Black Americans participating in the promise of America. (Of course, since she is a product of an Ivy League education, her leftist victim oriented professors probably didn't tell her that during their agitprop lectures on the U.S. Civil Rights movement.) Michelle Obama, and her kindred spirits including Al Sharpton and "Rev." Jeremiah Wright, fail to realize that the only things stopping Black Americans from achieving their optimum God-given potential and the promise of the American dream is self-inflicted destructive behavior that prevents them from reaching their promise. Such self-inflicted destructiveness includes not applying themselves in school, dropping out of school, participating in criminal activity, sexual immorality, public intoxication, not showing sufficient appreciation for the role of God in human affairs, participating in illicit drug culture, not being part of stable and responsible two-parent families, and listening to the demagogic, imbecilic, and immoral rantings of charlatans like Michelle Obama, Al Sharpton, and Jeremiah Wright.
Call both of the Obamas on this promotion of ethnic victimization as they make their campaign rallies. Tell them that promoting personal or ethnic victimization does not represent the political and cultural change they rhetorically claim to espouse in Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
