Giving her standard campaign stump speech in Albuquerque, N.M., yesterday, first lady Michelle Obama warned 107 donors at a picturesque ranch that things will happen in the race for the White House that could make them “shudder.”
Tickets for the event went for between $1,000 and $2,500 a head, and it was the final stop in a four-state tour for Michelle Obama this week that included Colorado, Arizona and Nevada.
“So know that with every door you knock on — truly — with every call you make, with every conversation you have, you have to remember that this could be the one that makes the difference — truly, every interaction. You could be the one who inspires that person to make their voice heard this November,” she said, adding that’s why the campaign spends “so much time and energy on our grassroots folks.”
“And I will say what I said before — this journey will continue to be long, and it will continue to be hard. That is guaranteed. And there will be twists and turns along the way, things that will make you shudder,” Obama said. “But the truth is — please, remember this — that is how change always happens in this country — always.”
She added that she’s “convinced” the Obama campaign “will do, this time, what we did the last time” because of the grass-roots.
“It is time for us to get to work. It’s time for us to roll up our sleeves and multiply ourselves, and understand the difference that we can make,” Obama said.
Michelle wants to multiply herself? Do I really need to add to that?
she’s probably referring to the upcoming election day, you know, ‘Be sure and vote often.’
But remember, it’s the Tea Party folks who are dangerous, not the violence embracing Occupy crowd.
Do I really have to live through 1968 again?
Yes we do. Let’s not fold this time!
Michelle Obama, truly, was shoveling a load, truly, of crap. Shuddering at the thought.
I, for one, am taking her words to heart:
“It is time for us to get to work. It’s time for us to roll up our sleeves … and understand the difference that we can make.”
Yep, let’s make sure our voices are heard: ABO2012
What will make them shudder? The DOJ instituting voting requirements? Allowing government representatives (aka “brown shirts”) to stand behind people while they vote? Occupying conservative news media offices? Coordinating “denial of service” to conservative blogs and websites? Instituting injunctions against Fox News to prevent them from broadcasting negative stories about the chosen one? Demanding Romney donor lists so OWS can attack their homes?
Michelle is not going to be a happy camper if her husband loses in October, and, unlike Barack, who’ll only snipe around the edges, probably won’t be all that hesitant to express exactly how she feels towards the American voters.
Well, she has expressed her view on American and most Americans on several occasions, including, but not limited to, “I have never been proud of America…”
If you have not already done so, find your local Tea Party folks, the local GOP office, or the man/woman running for Congress/Senate in your district and offer to help.
“Twists and turns, things that will make you shudder. That is how change always happens in this country, always”.
It sounds to me that she is describing a revolution, not reforms within the Constitutional framework. It sounds like a threat. She and her husband is just too creepy.
I think she is working too hard. She needs a vacation.
Only 17 vacations in three years, it’s a shame !
“She added that she’s “convinced” the Obama campaign “will do, this time, what we did the last time” because of the grass-roots”…And media shills and foreign campaign cash.
But mainly the media shills and foreign campaign cash….
By “multiply ourselves” is she refering to the Democrats propensity to vote multiple times?
Ok, just asking … How on earth did you resist titling this piece:
Michelle Obama: “Things that will Make You Shudder”
(I don’t think I could’ve resisted the temptation.)
you don’t think they are depending on “voters” to get “elected” again, do you?
Leftist mob violence and “for Trayvon” gang beatdowns in the street, the DOJ fighting honest election rules and border controls tooth and nail, mounting verbal attacks and demonization of their opposition, Obama working around Congress and the courts to concentrate power in his hands…
There’s plenty going on to make one shudder all right.
And let’s not forget the giant debt that is running towards us like an unstoppable train.
Shudder alright.
Funny how she — and Liberals in general — fail to mention specifics of how “things will change.” What things? What change? Then you look at the debt and the growing government and the coming tax hikes for everyone and everything. Generalities. Platitudes. Pie-in-the-sky dreams, and ruinous results. Don’t you just feel so good?
They never do. If they keep the terms vague and general, the suckers will fill the void of those words with their own hopes, desires and jealousies. That’s the the whole “1%-er” thing is about: turning the people against that 1% all the while ignoring the fact that many of those leading the charge ARE 1%-ers making a buck all the while.
By the time the liberal elite reveal what they really meant by all those empty words, its too late. Most of the liberal herd won’t complain because they won’t admit they had been duped nor will they want to speak up and be kicked out of the herd which to them, having to think for themselves and really be an individual scares them more than anything in the world.
I take that as a threat. Can you imagine, even for a second, Laura Bush saying something like that? Or Barbara Bush? And the media’s reaction if they did?
This is not the country I grew up in.
This is not the country I grew up in.
Right. It’s become the country you threw up in.
– more taxes to pay for his and her vacations and campaign trips.
“this journey will continue to be long”
Who writes this way? The night will continue to be dark!
– she didn’t refer to it as “The Long March”.
