COMMANDER IN CHIEF?
THIS ABOUT WRAPS IT UP FOR ME!
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, "During
rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present
except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with
the right hand over the heart." Hot on the heels of his explanation for why
he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Hussein
Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played."
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides."
- Barack Hussein Obama
Obama went on to say "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped
for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like
to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it."
This guy wants to be our president? Who would vote for him, pray tell???
<>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <><
To those of you who find fault with this, and I know of a couple of people
who will ... WAKE UP!!! DAMN IT, WAKE UP!!!
This man is NOT an American!!! Not in his heart ... assuming he has one.
This man will NOT represent the former-United States of America, if he is
elected ... God forbid.
This man is a terror ... an abomination ... a threat to what's left of our
Republic.
If you are even considering a vote for this man, please wake up and check
the FACTS about him.

LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS STRAIGHT:
• HIS FATHER WAS A KENYAN, MOSLEM, WE HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF HIS AFRICAN
"FAMILY."
• HIS MOTHER IS A KANSAN, ATHEIST, WHITE - WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF HIS
KANSAN, WHITE MOTHER AND HIS WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO RAISED HIM?
• HIS FATHER DESERTED HIS MOTHER AND HIM WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG AND WENT
BACK TO HIS FAMILY IN KENYA.
• HIS MOTHER MARRIED AN INDONESIAN MOSLEM AND TOOK HIM TO JAKARTA, WHERE HE
WAS SCHOOLED IN A MOSLEM SCHOOL.
• HIS MOTHER RETURNED TO HAWAII AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE KANSAN
GRANDPARENTS.
• HE LATER WENT TO THE BEST HIGH DOLLAR SCHOOLS ... HOW?
• HE LIVES IN A $1.4 MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE THAT HE ACQUIRED THROUGH A DEAL
WITH A WEALTHY FUND RAISER ... HOW?
• HE "WORKED" AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN CHICAGO - HAS NEVER HELD A
PRODUCTIVE JOB. THE PRESIDENCY IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHTS POST NOR IS IT SUBJECT TO
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION SET ASIDES.
• HE ENTERED POLITICS AT THE STATE LEVEL AND THEN THE NATIONAL LEVEL WHERE
HE HAS MINIMAL EXPERIENCE.
• HE IS PROUD OF HIS "AFRICAN HERITAGE" BUT IT SEEMS THAT HIS ONLY AFRICAN
CONNECTION WAS THAT HIS AFRICAN FATHER GOT A WHITE GIRL PREGNANT AND DESERTED
HER. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT SPERM CARRIED A "CULTURAL" GENE. WHERE IS THE
PRIDE IN HIS WHITE CULTURE?
• HE GOES TO A "AFROCENTRIC" CHURCH THAT HATES WHITES, HATES JEWS, AND
BLAMES AMERICA FOR ALL THE WORLDS PERCEIVED FAULTS AND THEN REPEATEDLY COVERS UP
FOR THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH.
• HE CLAIMS THAT HE COULD NOT CONFRONT HIS PASTOR BUT HE WANTS US TO
BELIEVE THAT HE CAN CONFRONT NORTH KOREA AND IRAN, RIGHT?!?!?!

Paul R. Hollrah, March 16, 2007
Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself listening to a speech by
Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. He was standing in the pulpit of a black church
in Selma, Alabama, and as I studied the body language of the dozen or so
black ministers standing behind the senator, I couldn’t help but be reminded of
the little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in the rear windows
of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any indication, the new
Schlickmeister of the Democrat Party is actually a pretty accomplished public
speaker.
However, as he spoke, I found my bull_ _ _ _ alarm going off, repeatedly.
But I couldn’t quite figure out why until I actually read excerpts of his
speech several days later. Here’s part of what he said:
"... something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in
Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, “ripples of hope all
around the world.†Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were
going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's
laundry, looking after somebody else's children.
“When (black) men who had PhD’s decided ‘that's enough’ and ‘we’re going
to stand up for our dignity,’ that sent a shout across oceans so that my
grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew
up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a
little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.
“… So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to
go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give
them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America
is.
“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to
this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather
had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on
because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that, (in) the
world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have
a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what
happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a
bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born. So don't tell me I
don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to
Selma, Alabama."
Okay, so what’s wrong with that? It all sounds good … but is it?
Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to “march
across a bridge†in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and
his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage
to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is
that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three
marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur until March 7, 1965, at
least five years after Obama’s parents met.
Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby,
decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they
could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call
and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.
The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the
future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his
African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across oceans,â€
inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack
Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having invented the
Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been named after the first man to
climb Mt. Everest … even though she was born five years and seven months before
Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to Cambodia.
As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need to ask some very
serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not enough to be black,
it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to be eloquent and a
media darling … The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an
eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince.â€
It appears that Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not a “fresh face,â€
as media sycophants like to describe him, he’s just another in a long line of
Democrat snake oil salesmen.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Climbs Back On His Anti-Gun Horse
_http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779_
(http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=3779)
Friday, April 04, 2008
With the Democratic Presidential nomination process turning into what would
have been an unthinkably close race only a few months ago, we continue to see
the political contenders pulling out all of the rhetorical stops to
distinguish themselves as the “candidate of choice†for their constituency. We also
continue to see the candidates test the limits of credibility in the
process.
Last month, we reported on the hypocrisy of Democratic presidential hopeful
Barack Obama. We detailed his advocacy of a law to forbid federally licensed
gun dealers from legally selling constitutionally-protected products
(firearms) in huge geographical areas, without holding purveyors of pornography to
the same standard. Apparently, Obama is in the habit of saying and doing
whatever he feels is politically expedient at the time, and for his particular
audience. Well, he’s at it again, and changing horses in the middle of the
campaign stream.
While on the campaign trail earlier this year, Obama tried to reassure
pro-gun voters by telling them, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.â€
But an April 3 article in Townhall.com reports that Obama in now embracing
his well-documented anti-gun leanings. “I am not in favor of concealed
weapons,†he told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential
atmosphere where more innocent people could [get shot during] altercations.â€
Obama went on to discuss, “…cracking down on the various loopholes that exist
in terms of background checks …,†and, “… reasonable, thoughtful gun control
measure[s]. …â€
It obviously comes as no surprise that Obama is anti-gun. In fact, as with
Hillary, we are so well aware of Obama’s hostility toward the Second
Amendment that in the 2004 elections, NRA’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) issued
Obama a well-deserved “F†grade. What’s surprising is that he thinks he can
slowly change his message and we won’t notice. Incidentally, in taking his
latest position, Obama is opposing the law in 48 of our 50 states, which
afford law-abiding citizens a means to carry a concealed firearm for personal
protection.
In truth, both candidates’ records are well documented and show,
unquestionably, that they’re both anti-gun. (Neither joined more than 300 of their
congressional colleagues in signing a brief in the Heller case in support of the
Second Amendment.) For either to now try to convince us otherwise is
ridiculous.

Free Kittens
Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give
away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to
them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a
motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from
the biggest car.
"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked.
"Kittens" Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open
yet."
"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats," says Little Suzy.
The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.
Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and
told him about the little girl with the kittens. It was planned that they
would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about
these "democrat" kittens.
The next day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of
kittens with the "FREE KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled
up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Everyone had
their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to
Little Suzy.
"Now don't be frightened," he said, I just want you to tell all these nice
news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."
"Yes sir," Suzy said, "they are all REPUBLICAN kittens."
Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But yesterday you told me they were
DEMOCRATS."
Little Suzy says, "Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes open."

It Couldn't Be Said Any Better
2 MICHELLES, 2 AMERICAS & SHAME vs. PRIDE
By Michelle Malkin
Like Michelle Obama, I am a "woman of color." Like Michelle Obama, I am a
working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the
13th generation of Americans born since the founding of our great nation.
Unlike Michelle Obama, I can't keep track of the number of times I've been
proud - really proud - of my country since I was born and privileged to live
in it. At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's Democratic
presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time in my adult
lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done
well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause from other Barack
supporters who have also apparently been devoid of pride in their country during
their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word
"change." What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.
I'm just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived in
the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me.
What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the American
people have ever been "hungry for change"?
Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The
Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented "leadership"
or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both adults when the Berlin
Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change. We've lived through two
decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious, election cycles under the rule
of law, which have brought about "change" and upheaval, both good and bad. We
were adults through several launches of the space shuttle, in case you were
snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and benefited from dizzyingly rapid
advances in technology, communications, science, and medicine pioneered by
American entrepreneurs who yearned to change the world and succeeded. You want
"change"? Go ask the patients whose lives have been improved and extended by
American pharmaceutical companies that have flourished under the best economic
system in the world.
If American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall of
communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and
sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every Independence Day?
Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a welcome-home ceremony
for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue Angels roaring over
cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed waters that
surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor memorial.
Every naturalization ceremony I've attended, where hundreds of new Americans
raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this land of liberty,
has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of American
compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans rallied to
help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia - including members of the
U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped from Hong Kong to
assist survivors - my heart filled with pride. It did again when the citizens of
Houston ope ned their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims and folks across the
country rushed to their churches and offices of the Salvation Army and Red
Cross to volunteer.
How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a heart of
stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor, and determination displayed
in New York , Washington , D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. , on September 11, 2001.
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a
politician tells the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite Democratic
politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's base really
believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame than pride.
Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success, political
influence, and personal acclaim in America - Ivy League educated, she's been lauded
by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World's Most Inspiring Women; by Vanity
Fair as one of the ten World's Best-Dressed Women; and named one of "The
Harvard 100" most influential alumni. She has had an amazingly blessed life. But
you wouldn't know it from her campaign rhetoric and her griping about her
and her husband's student loans.
For years, we've heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their
patriotism. And so they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs.
Obama's remarks.
Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too much.

“… So the Kennedy’s decided we're going to do an air lift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.
“This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that, (in) the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama, Jr., was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama."
Okay, so what’s wrong with that? It all sounds good … but is it?
Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to “march across a bridge†in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur until March 7, 1965, at least five years after Obama’s parents met.
Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.
The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across oceans,†inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having invented the Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been named after the first man to climb Mt. Everest … even though she was born five years and seven months before Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry's imaginary trip to Cambodia.
As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, “We need to ask some very serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It’s not enough to be black, it’s not enough to be articulate, and it’s not enough to be eloquent and a media darling … The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince.â€
It appears that Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not a “fresh face,†as media sycophants like to describe him, he’s just another in a long line of Democrat snake oil salesmen.

On The Campaign Trail, Obama Climbs Back On His Anti-Gun Horse

With the Democratic Presidential nomination process turning into what would have been an unthinkably close race only a few months ago, we continue to see the political contenders pulling out all of the rhetorical stops to distinguish themselves as the “candidate of choice†for their constituency. We also continue to see the candidates test the limits of credibility in the process.
Last month, we reported on the hypocrisy of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama. We detailed his advocacy of a law to forbid federally licensed gun dealers from legally selling constitutionally-protected products (firearms) in huge geographical areas, without holding purveyors of pornography to the same standard. Apparently, Obama is in the habit of saying and doing whatever he feels is politically expedient at the time, and for his particular audience. Well, he’s at it again, and changing horses in the middle of the campaign stream.
While on the campaign trail earlier this year, Obama tried to reassure pro-gun voters by telling them, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.†But an April 3 article in Townhall.com reports that Obama in now embracing his well-documented anti-gun leanings. “I am not in favor of concealed weapons,†he told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could [get shot during] altercations.†Obama went on to discuss, “…cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks …,†and, “… reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure[s]. …â€
It obviously comes as no surprise that Obama is anti-gun. In fact, as with Hillary, we are so well aware of Obama’s hostility toward the Second Amendment that in the 2004 elections, NRA’s Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) issued Obama a well-deserved “
F
†grade. What’s surprising is that he thinks he can slowly change his message and we won’t notice. Incidentally, in taking his latest position, Obama is opposing the law in 48 of our 50 states, which afford law-abiding citizens a means to carry a concealed firearm for personal protection.
In truth, both candidates’ records are well documented and show, unquestionably, that they’re both anti-gun. (Neither joined more than 300 of their congressional colleagues in signing a brief in the Heller case in support of the Second Amendment.) For either to now try to convince us otherwise is ridiculous.

Free Kittens
Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next to them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car.
"Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?" he asked.
"Kittens" Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet."
"What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats," says Little Suzy.
The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.
Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl with the kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these "democrat" kittens.
The next day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of kittens with the "FREE KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Everyone had their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to Little Suzy.
"Now don't be frightened," he said, I just want you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today."
"Yes sir," Suzy said, "they are all REPUBLICAN kittens."
Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, "But yesterday you told me they were DEMOCRATS."
Little Suzy says, "Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes open."

2 MICHELLES, 2 AMERICAS & SHAME vs. PRIDE
By Michelle Malkin
Like Michelle Obama, I am a "woman of color." Like Michelle Obama, I am a working mother of two young children. Like Michelle Obama, I am a member of the 13th generation of Americans born since the founding of our great nation.
Unlike Michelle Obama, I can't keep track of the number of times I've been proud - really proud - of my country since I was born and privileged to live in it. At a recent speech in Milwaukee on behalf of her husband's Democratic presidential campaign, Mrs. Obama remarked, "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."
Mrs. Obama's statement was met with warm applause from other Barack supporters who have also apparently been devoid of pride in their country during their adult lifetimes. Or maybe it was just a Pavlovian response to the word "change." What a sad, empty, narcissistic, ungrateful, unthinking lot.
I'm just seven years younger than Mrs. Obama. We've grown up and lived in the same era. And yet, her self-absorbed attitude is completely foreign to me. What planet is she living on? Since when was now the only time the American people have ever been "hungry for change"?
Michelle, ma belle, Barack is not the center of the universe. Newsflash: The Obamas did not invent "change" any more than Hillary invented "leadership" or John McCain invented "straight talk." We were both adults when the Berlin Wall fell, Michelle. That was earth-shattering change. We've lived through two decades' worth of peaceful, if contentious, election cycles under the rule of law, which have brought about "change" and upheaval, both good and bad. We were adults through several launches of the space shuttle, in case you were snoozing. And as adults, we've witnessed and benefited from dizzyingly rapid advances in technology, communications, science, and medicine pioneered by American entrepreneurs who yearned to change the world and succeeded. You want "change"? Go ask the patients whose lives have been improved and extended by American pharmaceutical companies that have flourished under the best economic system in the world.
If American ingenuity, a robust constitutional republic, and the fall of communism don't do it for you, hon, then how about American heroism and sacrifice? How about every Memorial Day? Every Veterans Day? Every Independence Day? Every Medal of Honor ceremony? Has she never attended a welcome-home ceremony for the troops? For me, there's the thrill of the Blue Angels roaring over cloudless skies. And the somber awe felt amid the hallowed waters that surround the sunken U.S.S. Arizona at the Pearl Harbor memorial.
Every naturalization ceremony I've attended, where hundreds of new Americans raised their hands to swear an oath of allegiance to this land of liberty, has been a moment of pride for me. So have the awesome displays of American compassion at home and around the world. When millions of Americans rallied to help victims of the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia - including members of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group that sped from Hong Kong to assist survivors - my heart filled with pride. It did again when the citizens of Houston ope ned their arms to Hurricane Katrina victims and folks across the country rushed to their churches and offices of the Salvation Army and Red Cross to volunteer.
How about American resilience? Does that not make you proud? Only a heart of stone could be unmoved by the strength, valor, and determination displayed in New York , Washington , D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. , on September 11, 2001.
I believe it was Michael Kinsley who quipped that a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth. In this case, it's what happens when an elite Democratic politician's wife says what a significant portion of the party's base really believes to be the truth: America is more a source of shame than pride.
Michelle Obama has achieved enormous professional success, political influence, and personal acclaim in America - Ivy League educated, she's been lauded by Essence magazine as one of the 25 World's Most Inspiring Women; by Vanity Fair as one of the ten World's Best-Dressed Women; and named one of "The Harvard 100" most influential alumni. She has had an amazingly blessed life. But you wouldn't know it from her campaign rhetoric and her griping about her and her husband's student loans.
For years, we've heard liberals get offended at any challenge to their patriotism. And so they are again aggrieved and rising to explain away Mrs. Obama's remarks.
Lady Michelle and her defenders protest too much.
