I will explain why it is that I really do not care, but first, here’s Breitbart’s boy’s yowling away:
First Lady Michelle Obama’s pitch to voters last night relied on the premise that she and her husband understand what it is to struggle to make ends meet. She spoke movingly about their early years–about how a young Barack Obama drove a car that was “rusted out” and found his furniture “in a dumpster,” how they both came from families that had to “scrape by.” Her fairy tale–however well-delivered–was one great, big, colorful lie.
Both Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama began their adult lives with a leg up on the rest of America. They attended elite schools: Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society. They were accepted to Ivy League schools despite undistinguished credentials, and both attended Harvard Law School.
“[B]elieve it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” Michelle said. That sounds like a raw deal–but in fact reflects their fortunate circumstances. They had both just graduated from a very expensive law school, and their combined income from cushy law firm jobs dwarfed the repayments. Barack also soon enjoyed a second salary from the University of Chicago.
They had expensive tastes, reflected in the $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought in 1993–a high price even by today’s standards. Several years later, they moved into their $1.65 million mansion in Hyde Park–with the help of fraudster Tony Rezko. Barack often told a story of hardship on the campaign trail in 2008 about having his credit card declined–once. The fact that he thought this counted as real hardship speaks volumes
- I have known for sometime now that the Democrats are pretty much habitual liars. I mean, they literally blew the housing market up; and then proceeded to blame the Republicans for the entire mess. The Republicans, while telling the truth about who blew what up, just sat and blamed the other side; instead of fixing it and they also bailed out the very banks that created the entire mess. To be fair: So did Obama. 😀
- I have also known for a very long time, that the silly idea of the political leaders, especially on the Democratic side, were actually looking out for the little people — was nothing more than a very well-executed lie. The only thing that the political class is looking out for, are two things; their careers and votes. The Democrats get them by giving lip service to minorities and poor people. So, if they’re looking out for you, you should vote for them. 🙄 The Republicans get them by coddling crony capitalists and business owners of various stripes.
So, there you have it, the reason why I am just not getting excited about this newest outrageous outrage on the right. Do not get me wrong, there are many things that I do have against the Democrats, but this here, is just not one of them. We have more important things to worry about and many other things that we can remind the America people of, about the Democrats. This here is just not one that I care to even remotely worry about. 🙂
